Carl isn’t the brightest of guys. He has relentless determination and a great work ethic.

Carl came from humble beginnings. His first job was as a dishwasher in a local Mom and Pop pizza shop. He was the best dishwasher that ever worked there, but Carl knew he was destined for bigger and better things. So, he got a job cleaning skyscraper windows and got a second job cleaning cars.

Eventually, Carl saved up enough money to start his own business, which he named “Cleaner Carl.” It started out as a carpet-cleaning company, then he gradually hired more employees.

After a few years, he was a millionaire with fifteen employees. He kept expanding his company, and now he has stores in 40 states. His loyal, well-paid employees clean everything from windows to houses to restaurants, even cars too! Carl became the CEO of the largest cleaning company in the world, and he did it with no higher education. Hard work, dedication, and positivity are more powerful than any degree. Carl found his purpose, you can find yours.
