We had the good fortune of connecting with Ingryd Lanham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ingryd, what inspires you?

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I was working a 9-7 job, made good money for an 18y old at the time (2020) and stayed is that career up until 2022. I read a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and needless to say that book changed my entire perspective on the “American Dream” and how to make money. Right after I read that book, I literally quit my “Good paying Job” ,I read the book on a Thursday and on the following Monday I was completely Jobless. This was May 2022. I was eager to find something to make a business out of, that is when I called my mom who had a small cleaning business, and she was a very dedicated person when it came to cleaning, so I saw a chance and thought: “This is my perfect opportunity”, I learned everything from her for a few months, although I hated cleaning, my goal of becoming the best cleaner in Atlanta, made me absolutely fall in love with the job, I fell for the details that would make me stand out, I fell for things regular cleaners, that I might add have been in the industry for much longer than I, something close to 10y+, were skipping, or thought it was not important. From there I built this Pink Cleaner Persona, where I step out of Ingryd Lanham, and become quite literally my company Lanham Cleaning Services. From Jan 2023 to now May 2024 this company has grown significantly, now I have employees, I have many properties and many happy customers, and although it is not easy to be an entrepreneur, if you believe in your business hard enough, the anxiety, the fear of failure, the low self esteem will become just another step in the ladder to success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Since I am 95% of my time in Midtown Atlanta, I feel pretty confident in saying that Piedmont Park is great during the day, beautiful place for pictures because you can see the skyline from the park and also get to enjoy the nature . Also food wise, Passador steakhouse in Alpharetta is an amazing place for someone that would like to experience a taste of brazilian cuisine.
