I got two new cleans today because old windy never came back. £8 for 4 windows one up, so £16 a month and next to my original customers. That's the folk I'm looking for, steady reliable income. Gave out half a dozen cards to new customer so will no doubt get a few more. Out again tomorrow cleaning, sticking some bird spikes, spraying weedkiller for customer and ordering glass unit, all in a days work. ?
I wonder what happened to those he whom he owed money that he promised to see right?
He mentioned on one of his videos that he was coming back to sort out all the people he owed money. That was a while ago.
Very true, I'm just about finished, was doing quotes for 2 hours after finishing the cleaning, been getting the water ready for tomorrow, text all the customers, just finished emailing off 7 written quotes, sent off two invoices, all adds time. I was knackered after I had finished doing the cleaning having done 3 hard days of add ons. It's not easy work, but if you put in the effort, the money is there to be had. It's just simple hard work and dedication but if you don't manage the business then it won't manage itself and would quickly fall apart.
I doubt they'll ever get their money he has been gone 3-4 years now if he had any intention of settling his debts he would of, he allegedly had a thriving business and a franchise but also allegedly not according to some, he wasn't the nicest of people but not many people knew this
He was a moderator on here at one time I think.
He always seemed to have anger management issues and dragged folk into his mindset. I will say one thing he had a great business mindset which I learned alot from. The one thing I have learned in life is not to get involve with angry people because they don't change and end up bringing the other person down. I had a workmate like this and he fell out with me and it was the best thing that happened to me and my business took off. I won't let it happen again.
It was a bit difficult to understand, even for you ?That was supposed to be a text thanking a customer for paying for today's clean. I wondered where it went to. I'm losing or may have lost my mind already.
He was, he got too big for his boots as well lording it over people like he was better than other people
Had a few run ins with him, very opinionated and wouldn't listen to anyone with a different business model.

Once I saw what he was really like my conclusion was he is a ? end, he claimed to hate bullies but bullied people ?
Do you remember when I had my fall out with him?
Might have been before my time
Oh yes, it takes to learn and read a books about the business ideas, experiment, grow on mistakes and so on. One famous business guru said ''Be careful from who you take the advice. Is he employee, self-employed, business owner? Never ever listen those, who are under your business hierarchy''. And also that question - HOW they managed it - ''is switching the brain on, while be sceptical about switching it off. That's why employee stay employee, self-employed stay self-employed..''If it wasn't for the so called 'bragging' then I wouldn't have set up a window cleaning business, so I'm thankful for all those who were willing to discuss figures and how much they make in a day etc. If nothing else, it opens your eyes to the possibilities.
Honestly I really don't see the problem in discussing figures, for me if someone says they've made say £500 in a day my initial instinct is to ask myself how they've managed it, followed by 'can I learn / copy it'. I think some just are jealous of it and I really don't see why, I admire anyone who is successful and willing to talk about it.
When I was thinking about starting up I told friends and family and many of them said there was no way you could charge more than £10 for a house. How wrong they were
