Alexandria Reed's transformation from struggling single mom to successful entrepreneur with Pure Elegance Cleaning Company reveals exactly that.Alexandria takes us through her remarkable journey, from the early days of "Alexandria's Cleaning Company" to her strategic rebrand. She candidly shares how she initially charged just $160 for an entire move-out cleaning job—a price that makes her laugh now.
