Her words resonate with the experiences of countless women who have navigated the often-challenging landscape of business ownership.

Throughout her tenure as a franchise owner, Oakley has encountered both triumphs and challenges, but she emphasizes that perseverance and self-belief have been paramount to her success. “In celebrating Women’s History Month, I’m reminded of the incredible journey of female entrepreneurs. As one myself, I’ve learned that perseverance and belief in oneself are paramount,” she asserts.

Oakley’s advice to aspiring women entrepreneurs is rooted in her own experiences. She encourages them to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, cultivate a supportive network, and never shy away from advocating for their vision. “My advice to other women is to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, cultivate a supportive network, and never shy away from advocating for your vision,” she shares.

"In my previous life when I was consulting I didn't have near the flexibility of my schedule that I have now. Now after growing the cleaning authority at the point where it is, I coach soccer. We do two practices a week for my girls team. I do one practice a week for my boys team. I can go to any school event that I want to. I can take time to go with teachers. I exercise most every day. I work hard but I can come and go on my own schedule. I no longer have to worry about paying for my children's education and we live a comfortable life and it's fun."
