At Generations Carpet Cleaning (GCC), carpet cleaning runs in our blood! Owner and operator, Mike Rowe, is 1 of 14 men in his family to clean carpets and 1 of 7 to own their own business.
Problem
Mike and Jennifer Rowe were offered an opportunity to relocate to start another business but weren’t sure what they could do with their current operation. The business was not self-sustaining and as a result would not fetch anything if they sold it. By happenstance, Mike met DE, Inc. founder, Dino Eliadis at a networking event. Mike and Jenn met Dino who introduced the the owners to ther idea of business self-sustainability. This was the direction they wanted to take GCC and decide to begin working a plan!
Goal:
To build the business to a level that it will provide the Rowe’s a sustainable income without them being present in the business so that they can go off to pursue other interests in 2-3 years.
