Starting a business can be both an exhilarating and daunting journey. For many, the idea of being their own boss and carving out their path in the business world is a dream. This dream became a reality for Angelo Villamor, when he joined Jani-King in March 2023, spurred by a casual yet impactful conversation with a friend who was already a Jani-King franchise business owner. It wasn’t just the allure of running a business that attracted Angelo; it was Jani-King’s promise of extensive support, comprehensive training, and the assurance of a reputable brand that sealed the deal.
“What makes owning a Jani-King franchise truly fulfilling is the freedom it provides. The ability to make independent decisions, create my own schedule and what is incredibly rearding is to see the direct results of my efforts” says Villamor. “Building relationships with both clients and team members adds another layer of satisfaction, as it fosters a sense of community and trust that goes beyond just business transactions” adds Villamor.
However, with every entrepreneurial journey comes with its challenges. For Villamor, managing growth, handling complaints, and maintaining that all important work-life balance have been some of the most significant hurdles. Yet, rather than being discouraged, Villamor views these challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. “I’ve developed strategies to manage these difficulties to overcome these hurdles” Villamor says.
Looking ahead, the future is bright. Villamor’s next goal is not just about expanding the business but also about enhancing his leadership skills and learning new strategies for business growth. Villamor states “I plan to build a strong team to manage more cleaning sites in the future. This will help me become a successful business owner, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This is important to me as I strive to be a family-orientated person who can devote quality time to my loved ones while pursuing my career ambitions”.
In the spirit of paying it forward, this Jani-King franchisee also aspires to inspire others, much like their friend did for them. By sharing experiences and insights, they hope to motivate fellow franchisees and others in the Jani-King network, creating a ripple effect of growth, learning, and success.
