What makes Tim Maloney with Dirt Doctors Cleaning Services a good neighbor?
What happens when life's setbacks become your greatest opportunity? Tim Maloney, founder of Dirt Doctors Cleaning Service, joins Leila Carter to share how being fired from his job in 1994 with a two-week-old baby at home became the catalyst for launching a successful business that's still thriving nearly 31 years later.
Tim takes us through the origins of Dirt Doctors, which began as a residential cleaning service but evolved into a comprehensive commercial cleaning operation serving offices, churches, event spaces, retail locations, and medical facilities. With refreshing candor, he dispels common misconceptions about the cleaning industry, particularly the notion that companies secure contracts only to provide diminishing service over time. His company's 30-day out clause keeps them accountable and focused on consistent quality.
Beyond business insights, Tim opens up about his personal journey of entrepreneurship, sharing how he's overcome the mental challenges of maintaining confidence through difficult periods. He credits his success to what Angela Duckworth calls "grit"—the powerful combination of perseverance and passion—along with the support of business communities like Truth at Work. As Tim says, "You can't do it by yourself." His story serves as powerful testament to how relationships, genuine care, and staying the course can transform a moment of career crisis into decades of business success.
