How to start a window cleaning business? with no money

Looking forward to summer though, its been a hard first winter, cant wait for sun on my back shorts on, ipod in etc. why am i getting so excited about cleaning windows lol

 
That is what i was talking about

You were nervous at first and doubting yourself...now you KNOW you can do what you set your mind to

You already have the 500 custies..they just don't know it yet

 
90% of it is mental. People are conditioned to believing it isnt possible, society tells us this from an early age, we go to school, go to uni, get a "job" have kids, mortgage, retire, die.

Like this guy says in this video, you take a leap of faith and then suddenly as you go through the struggles you kind of open your eyes and see that its possible, you really can create what you want and when you start to realise that you become a different person.

Philosophical it may be but before i started this journey into self employed i had no hope, i was really depressed and fed up and although im still struggling juggling a part time job with windows my self confidence is slowly growing with each customer i add to my round however slowly it may be.

Today i got my 50th customer since starting last november, and for the first time these last few weeks im really starting to believe myself when i said i could get 100 customers to replace my full time employment then go on to hit 200 by the end of the year and earn more money than i ever have and who knows where that will take me in the future, i dont believe my long term future is working solo doing windows but i do believe its as an entrepeneur, its very hard work and stressfull but i actually feel alive.

waffle over lol
I have to agree with this. however id like to add more to it.

anybody can be happy when things in life goes smooth.

the real challenge of growth comes when you get knocked down, when you have been defeated.

like a child building a healthy immune system, the more knock downs in life the stronger your emotional immune system gets. anytime you feel you cant do it, just keep going, when ya fall get up and head on through it don't stop for nothing and if you fall again get up and keep going. and anytime you get to fraud the government do it. when we do wrong we get called criminals, when the government do something wrong its called politics... sorry about the rant

 
I agree whole heartedly with that

I grew up with **** all on a london housing estate and know what it is like to fight for what you want

Then you get a job self employed on a building site..get laid off after 6 months of paying n/i (the old stamps) every fortnight when paid and get told sorry you haven't contributed enough here's 15 quid a week income support..pay your bills with that..sod the government

 
must say the WC just gets easier and easier the longer you do it

i,ve now got 8 years in.

no hassle at work at all, own boss, love the challenge of going out and making my own money

loads of work just think we will always be in work. Its really quite simple

davey your so right, you will never be out off work and we have done it all ourself

mind we have all grafted hard

 
24 years doing this even when enployed i was still doing my regulars

It does get easier as time goes on

It is like autopilot nowadays

Yes i am thinking safety and doing a good job but it happens naturally rather than consciously doing it

That is another one of the things that speed you up

 
er he knows how to talk....

well he could convince any one they can make money from cleaning windows..

but he hasnt met me.../emoticons/biggrin.png
