We’ve got something exciting for you today!

We know you’ve heard those Silicon Valley success stories—someone builds an app and suddenly they become an overnight millionaire. Tempting, right? 

The truth is, nothing happens overnight.

Real results from real people

Our courses aren't just theory—they deliver real, tangible results. Here's what some of our students are saying about their UpFlip Academy experiences:

“That’s the power of the course. The short, easy-to-follow videos are well-organized. This meant that I could cherry-pick info that I needed quickly and use it in my own negotiations. It helped us ask targeted questions that helped us purchase our locations for less than the market value.

Next, we used the course tips to dramatically improve the service at each location. This effectively doubled the revenue we gained from these sites. The knowledge we gained from the course helped us price more effectively and offer better service.” – Sara Stradling (Little Hippie Vending)

“Within 3 months of taking the course, I started to see results. I worked at starting Raleigh Power Wash like it was my full-time job. Focusing fully on the course and making the connections that I needed helped me execute my business plan.

Before we landed our first jobs, I spent 2 weeks knocking on doors. We secured most of our customers using door referrals and door hanger advertising.” – Jonathan Burch (Raleigh Power Wash)

Lali’s story reflects one of the most common ways people start a cleaning business. She started taking cleaning jobs on the side while working a full-time job as a supervisor in an animal hospital. 

Soon, she had more work than she could handle on her days off. Lali took the leap, quit her job, and devoted herself to business ownership full time. But as a young college graduate, she had no experience running a company and wasn’t confident about where to start. As she told us:

“I’m not a business person. I didn’t really think very much when it was starting out. I was just doing it as supplemental income.” – Lali Gonzalez (Speedy Gonzali)

That’s why she signed up for Chris Mondragon’s 7-Figure Cleaning Business Blueprint in August, the month after she decided to take her business full-time. That knowledge and support catapulted her from a $4,390 revenue in July to more than $13,000 in November.
