We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Correy Hammond a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Correy, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
After a successful year of running a monetized YouTube channel focused on cleaning, I decided to use my expertise to start Real Men Get It Done Cleaning Services. My team prioritizes customer service above all else and pays close attention to even the smallest details.

Starting and growing a successful business is not easy, but with determination, hard work, and attention to detail, I was able to turn my passion for cleaning into a thriving enterprise. Real Men Get It Done Cleaning Services is a testament to my commitment to excellence and the satisfaction of our clients.
Correy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
As someone who’s been cleaning since I was a kid, I’ve learned the tricks of the trade from both my mom and dad. My mom, who’s an exceptional cleaner and used to be a manager, encouraged me to start a YouTube channel where I could share my passion for cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my family. Little did I know that in just one year, my channel would grow and become monetized, leading me to question what else I could accomplish.
One day, I came across an inspiring Instagram post by Michelle Welch, a cleaner from Orlando, Florida, who suggested starting a cleaning business using items from the dollar store. Since I was already into cleaning, her post ignited the desire in me to create my own cleaning business.
And so, the journey began. Starting as a small part-time gig while still working a 9-5 job, I gradually expanded my business to two cities in Louisiana – Shreveport and Baton Rouge. Today, with a team of 10 dedicated individuals, I continue to manage both my 9-5 job and my growing cleaning company.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Want to grow your social media audience? Here’s how I did it: I started by following everyone on YouTube and Instagram who interested me. Along the way, I picked up some helpful tips, but it was a lot to handle. That’s when I realized I needed some guidance to take my YouTube channel to the next level. Enter Tiffany Day, my YouTube coach. With her help, I learned how to choose a niche and grow my channel. The best part? This advice applies to any social media platform. I encourage you to find a coach who can give you focused guidance. Too many voices can be overwhelming. While every platform is different, a coach can help you navigate the similarities and differences and keep you on track.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
When I was in my 20s, my HARD (life experience) was going through bankruptcy and accumulating a staggering $500K in debt. It was a tough time that nearly broke me and instilled fear in me for many years about starting a business again in the future. But you know what? It’s so true that adversity can either shape you or break you! I’m grateful that I didn’t let it break me, but it definitely changed my perspective on life. I didn’t get back into business until my late 30s. That’s why I’m passionate about giving back to others.
I’m part of an amazing cleaning community where we discuss everything from business strategies, growth, marketing, and most importantly, supporting and uplifting each other through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. I genuinely want others to succeed! Back in the 2000s, when I found myself overwhelmed with debt, we didn’t have this kind of community or mentors who could provide such valuable insights and guidance.
Today, you can find a community in any industry. Its an amazing season to be a business owner.
