# How Nakita Built A Cleaning Business in 2026

From Layoff to $10K+ Months

Join me live for a Hot Seat with Nakita Everette—the powerhouse behind Maid in Tysons, the eco-friendly cleaning company shaking up the DC / MD / VA area.

I always love these livestreams with our YouTube crowd. If you can swing it, watching live is where the magic happens. The questions steer the conversation, we go places I didn’t plan to go, and there’s usually at least one moment where everyone collectively goes, “Ohhh… that’s the move.”

Before we get there, a bit of Nakita’s story.

A year ago, Nakita was working a high-security cybersecurity job—think three-letter agencies, locked-down buildings, the whole thing—while building her cleaning business on the side. Her schedule shaped how the business ran, so she experimented with delegating lead handling early.

Then she got laid off.

That moment sharpened everything. She took a clear-eyed look at the fundamentals and made a decisive shift. She fired her VA quickly, tightened her focus, and rebuilt the business with one goal in mind: replacing her salary with something she owned and controlled.

After a discovery call, she:

-

Reclaimed lead handling

-

Rebuilt her systems from the ground up

-

Simplified day-to-day operations

-

Made recurring clients the core of the model

Within a few months of focused execution, she crossed $10K+ in monthly revenue and built a business designed around ownership and control.

In this Hot Seat, we’ll dig into:

-

The inflection point that unlocked growth

-

The specific system changes that moved revenue

-

How she attracts steady, high-trust recurring clients

-

Her niche working with NFL players, their families, and wealthy bachelor households

-

How she structures the business for predictable revenue and calmer operations

If you’re:

-

Navigating a career pivot or reset

-

Busy and ready for the next level

-

Transitioning toward recurring revenue

-

Refining your client mix and positioning

You’ll get a lot out of this one.
