Maid2Clean Franchise Advice from Doug Richards

22nd January 2009

Mike Harahan meets Dragons Den Entepreneur Doug Richards

Doug Richards one of the Dragons from the famed TV programme Dragons Den recently was part of a motivational speech to a number of business leaders in Cheshire, including Mike Harahan (Former MD) of Maid2Clean.

He told the audience that he started in business at the age of 27, and that anyone can be an entrepreneur and run their own businesses.

Doug Richards claims to have been accidentally successful to date in a number of businesses but prior to that had failed on a number of occasions in various jobs. Of the 21 jobs he had previously worked he had been sacked in most of them. Jobs varied from cleaning in a diner, juggling in a fair, forklift truck driving and working in a cannery in Alaska. The jobs varied from physical type jobs to some that involved his education.

Doug graduated in law school as an attorney but found his career the law "staggeringly boring.” He quit his job as an attorney on day 29 and was told by a partner at the law firm he worked that he would be a failure in life.

Having had enough of working for somebody else he went into business with his brother to promote the business of “automation for any business.”

As part of his motivational speech, he gave advice to the delegates, detailing them to:

Set big goals;
Never leave with a “no” from a meeting;
Always have a positive mental attitude;
Find ways to have a good time;
Get as much education as you can;
Measure people solely on their performance and outcomes;
