At just 22 years old, Solee Shana had a vision—to build a thriving cleaning and laundry service that would bring cleanliness and order to homes and offices. But like many young entrepreneurs, she quickly realized that starting a business is one thing, growing it is another.
She launched MS Cleaning Services with high hopes, but challenges soon followed. With no clients, no sales, and no clear strategy, her confidence began to waver. Was her dream slipping away before it even had a chance to succeed?
That’s when she discovered the Aspire Program, a transformational entrepreneurship initiative powered by a partnership between CBMC Africa and Sinapis Group. And that’s when everything changed.
From Struggles to a Turning Point
In the early days, Solee struggled to attract customers. She had the skills, but visibility and marketing were missing. Without sales, her business stagnated, and self-doubt set in.
Joining the Aspire Program turned out to be the game changer she needed. Through expert mentorship, structured training, and a supportive community, she learned how to attract and engage clients weekly—a key breakthrough that soon translated into actual sales.
She also navigated the business registration process, a critical step that had previously felt overwhelming. The mentorship and support system she found in Aspire gave her the clarity and confidence to move forward.
A Game-Changer: The Lesson That Changed Everything
One class, in particular, stood out—“Knowing Your Customer.”
✨ She learned that business isn’t just about offering a service; it’s about building relationships.
✨ Clients need to know, like, and trust you before they invest in your service.
✨ She realized that faith and business go hand in hand—God is invested in her success.
For Solee, this shift in mindset made all the difference. She began approaching her business not just as a way to make money, but as a way to serve people with integrity and care.
With this newfound confidence, MS Cleaning Services was no longer just a business—it became a mission.
From Zero to Growth: The Results Speak for Themselves
🚀 Registered her business, giving her official recognition and credibility.
🚀 Grew from zero to three regular clients, while also serving 10 one-time clients.
🚀 Preparing to launch her own cleaning detergent, adding a new revenue stream.
🚀 Improved communication and leadership skills, now speaking at events and leading teams.
But for Solee, growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about impact.
Creating Impact: Transforming Lives Through Cleanliness
Solee believes that cleanliness is more than just aesthetics—it’s about health, dignity, and productivity. Her services help businesses maintain professional environments and give homes a fresh, welcoming atmosphere.
💡 For working professionals, her cleaning services save valuable time, allowing them to focus on their careers and families.
💡 For the elderly and physically challenged, her services bring comfort and ease, ensuring they can live in hygienic, well-maintained spaces.
💡 For businesses, she helps create clean, organized workspaces that boost productivity and employee well-being.
But she’s not stopping there. Solee envisions a future where her business provides employment opportunities for young people, particularly women, empowering them with skills that enable them to earn a stable income and break free from financial limitations.
Her dream is to expand MS Cleaning Services across Cameroon, establish a training academy for cleaning professionals, and develop her line of eco-friendly cleaning products—because she believes business should not just serve customers, but also uplift communities.
