💪 Motivation Monday: Your Mind Builds Everything
At Mr. Clean Fix, we talk a lot about building — homes, decks, kitchens, spaces that people love. But the truth is, everything you build on the outside begins with what’s happening on the inside.
Your mindset is the foundation.
Your focus is the framework.
Your habits are the tools that shape everything that follows.
When your thoughts are aligned, clear, and strong, the way you move through life changes. You make sharper decisions. You handle challenges with steadiness. You see opportunity instead of obstacles.
This week, take a look at what you’re feeding your mind.
Are you surrounding yourself with people who bring out your best?
Are you learning from those who’ve built something real?
Are you giving your attention to growth, not gossip — progress, not problems?
Your mental hygiene is your maintenance plan for success.
Feed your mind with good information.
Keep your goals front and center.
Let discipline, not distraction, guide your day.
Because when your mind is strong, your work is stronger.
When your attitude is steady, your vision grows clearer.
And when you take care of your mindset — intentionally, daily, uncompromisingly — your entire life begins to rise to that same level.
Here’s to a week of clarity, growth, and purpose.
Let’s build something great — starting within.
Friday Progress: Inspections, Decks & the Secret Room Desk
There’s something special about Fridays in construction. It’s the day to reflect on the week, see the progress made, and plan for what’s next. This Friday is no exception—we’ve got milestones worth celebrating.
Garage & Patio: Final Inspection Coming Up
Our garage and patio project is gearing up for its final inspection early next week. From framing to drywall, from roof to finishing touches—every step has been moving us closer to the finish line. It’s exciting to see all the planning, teamwork, and craftsmanship coming together.
Deck Progress: Boards Taking Shape
Over at another site, the deck is really taking form. Board by board, the outdoor living space is shaping up beautifully. Standing on it now, you can already picture summer evenings, barbecues, and quiet mornings with coffee in hand. The transformation is always rewarding to witness.
The Secret Room Desk: Almost Green
Inside, the “secret room” is in the home stretch of one of its centerpiece features: the custom desk. It’s nearly all the way green now, and once complete, it’ll be the biggest, most luxurious desk we’ve ever built. Patience, precision, and attention to detail are paying off—soon, a one-of-a-kind result will be revealed.
Friday Motivation
In construction, like in life, progress isn’t always flashy. It’s inspections, sanding, and the steady click of boards fitting into place. But stack enough of those small wins together, and you get something lasting.
Here’s your reminder this Friday:
Celebrate progress, no matter how small.
Keep pushing, even when the work feels tedious.
Embrace the grind—it’s building something bigger.
👉 Here’s to wrapping up the week strong and stepping into the weekend with momentum. Excited for the garage and patio final inspection early next week!
The Work Nobody Sees—And Why It’s My Opportunity
I’ve been staring at the Mr. Clean Fix website for weeks—hours spent clicking, typing, dragging, deleting, redoing. A photo here, a paragraph there. Some days it feels like I’m just moving pixels around. Other days, it feels like building a whole new world for our business from scratch.
And yeah… it’s weird to write a blog about updating the website on the website itself. But that’s kind of the point. Most people walk past the work that actually creates opportunity for a small business like ours.
Today, I read an email from Andy Frisella: “Most people walk right past opportunity every single day… It’s the hard work. It’s the extra responsibility. …You just need to be the person who says, ‘I’ll do it.’”
That’s exactly what updating this website has been for me and for Mr. Clean Fix. Opportunity didn’t show up with a red carpet or a spotlight. It showed up as messy pages, slow load times, missing photos, confusing navigation, and decisions that weren’t always fun to make—but needed to be made if we wanted to show our work, highlight our services, and connect with our clients.
One challenge nobody warned me about? The mobile version. I’d been tweaking everything on my laptop, thinking it looked decent… and then I checked it on my phone. Chaos. Fonts too small, images out of place, buttons buried or unclickable. Most people use their phones, so I had to revamp it for mobile. Hours of extra work, a few frustrated sighs, and maybe one too many coffee refills—but now it’s smooth and responsive for everyone.
And then came the emails. Half a dozen “professionals” reached out, offering to fix it for me. Nice offers—but honestly? I laughed, deleted a couple, and realized this is my opportunity: to do the work myself, learn from it, and make the website truly ours. There’s something satisfying about solving a problem no one else wants to tackle.
So far, the home page, the services page, and our brand-new Transformation Gallery are live. Two more sections/pages remain—but even now, what’s online represents hours of work that most people would avoid. Every photo, every word, every layout tweak is part of building a professional, trustworthy face for a small business that prides itself on doing quality work for our clients.
Check Out What’s Live
Home Page: Our story, our values, and a snapshot of the projects that make Mr. Clean Fix what it is.
Services Page: A clear, easy-to-navigate list of all the ways we help homeowners—bathroom remodels, decks, painting, and more.
Transformation Gallery: Before-and-after shots of our favorite projects. Each photo carefully curated to show the quality and care we put into every job.
Every time I wrestle with layout, reorganize a page, or ask a tough question about how to show our projects, I’m doing the work most people avoid. And that’s exactly where opportunity lives. Not in shortcuts. Not in hoping someone else will do it. In saying, “I’ll do it.”
So yes—this website isn’t done yet. But every hour, every headache, every late-night “why isn’t this working” moment is shaping the doors that will open for Mr. Clean Fix, helping us grow, reach new clients, and showcase the work we love doing. The work nobody sees is the work that changes everything—and even as a work in progress, this website is our opportunity.
