<p><b><font face="Arial">Thanks to the vision of Ron Musgraves and Kory Finley on changing the way mobile cleaning expos will forever go. The event center was b</font><font face="Arial">eautiful. The rooms were spacious but most of all the mobile cleaning pro's were generous. Instead of chumming the waters to get attendees by giving away a $5,000.00 hot water skid a much different approach was taken. <br>
<br>
There was still a nice piece of equipment given away thanks to Paul Kasander of the Powerwash Store. However the pro's involved knew there was something more at stake than the opportunity to get some free equipment. It was about making kids who are ill from cancer, dreams come true through the Make-a-Wish foundation.</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial"><img src="http://SoftWashSystems.com/images/Roger.jpg" width="400" height="239" align="right" longdesc="5seasonspowerwash@gmail.com, 814jeffw@comcast.net, >The event was kicked off by a social at the MainSail Suites Conference Center. There Ron Musgraves, Chris Tucker and AC Lockyer braved the ice chilled waters of the dunk tank. In a half hour cleaning pros stepped up at $10 a ball and threw heated leather at a little target as leaders of the mobile cleaning community hurrled insults at them. Hundreds of dollars were raised in a very short period of time. AC even went in the tank with his trademark hat on.<br>
<br>
Paul Kasander worked the convention keeping everyone buying raffel tickets for the pressure washer he had donated. Ron even held the convention goers captive a few times making the purchase of tickets the only way out of the meeting hall.</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial">At the show end the tickets were mixed and the beautiful Karen Lockyer was chosen to draw the winner. When the winning ticket was drawn one phrase was written on the back that made a world of difference. That phrase was "auction it off for the kids" and so it was. </font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Arial">All total the cleaning pros at the NCE East event raised in excess of $5,500.00 for the Make-a-Wish foundation of north and central Florida. How can we ever look back at the debauchery of the self serving skid give-away? THANKS RON, KORY, PAUL AND THE REST!</font></b></p>

<span class="secondary">Tampa, Flor<span class="secondary">ida </span>The National Cleaning Expo comes into town with a new purpose, education & certification. Times are hard and every pro needs a hand up with their business. Kory Finley knew just where to get help as he assembled he best and brightest in the mobile cleaning industry with the aid of Ron Musgraves. </span></p>
<p>For the first time in this industry several certifications were being offered in one place, a one stop shop of sorts for help from everything like waste water collection to receivables collection. From best hiring practices to best transportation practices and everything in between.</p>
<p><img src="http://SoftWashSystems.com/images/Certified-NCETampa-2011-72a400.jpg" width="400" height="239" align="left" longdesc="http://ProBizGuide.com/images/Certified-NCETampa-2011-72a400.jpg">Along with industry leading suppliers like Pete from Sunbrite Supply, Jerry with Sirocco Systems, Russ with Seal n Lock and many more to awesome cleaning company pros like Joe from South West Restorations, Bill Booz from Accuwash, Roger & Celeste from Carolina Pro Wash and many more unlisted here. There was a wealth of experience and knowledge available to any newbie or vetran in attendance.</p>
<p>New this year was a def in ate push to certify cleaning pros. Certification is a great tool to make sure company are all trained so that there is uniformity of service as well as we are all watching for responsibility in safety and practicing good stewardship of our environment. The end goal is to create safe, responsible, professionals so the public sees our industry as one they can trust and rely on.</p>
<p>There were six certifications offered at the event, paver sealing, roof & exterior soft washing, wood restoration, UAMCC safety, wash water control and plant and property protection. Of the six certifications offered 61 mobile cleaning professionals were certified in one or multiple programs. In fact so many pros were involved in the classes and certs that the vendors in the tradeshow area actually had time to play cards. Well maybe not.</p>
<p>This years NCE East was a huge success and 61 cleaning pros will now have new systems, techniques and knowledge to put into practice growing their companies. <br>
<br>
***Shown above is the first class of the SoftWash Systems, Lead Roof & Exterior Soft Wash Technician certification program.

<br>
I had been told for so many years of my life that "readers are leaders",
a fact that I so wanted to ignore. However, after many successful years
and creative thoughts even my well began to run dry. If music is the art
that stimulates your heart than reading is definitely the tool that
stimulates your mind. Most every morning you will find my wife and I
enjoying breakfast on our back porch overlooking our creek and enjoying
a book together. That is a routine that has changed my life, my marriage
and my spirit.  I strongly encourage you to read along with us as
you grow your business and enrich your life.<br>
<br>
E-Myth Mastery is the third book in a four book series by small business
guru Michael E. Gerbera. It has specific exercises and executable items
that you can implement in your life. Items that can be started right
away to awaken the passion, creativity and leadership your business
needs.<br>
