[SIZE=17pt]I am now officially a full time window cleaner as today was my final shift at my part time job. As soon as 8am hit I bowled out of that place like I was Conor McGregor [/SIZE][SIZE=17pt]?[/SIZE][SIZE=17pt](despite getting some stick for leaving to become a window cleaner)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=17pt]November 2018 I started up my business not having a single clue about window cleaning, (I still don’t know where I even got the idea from) but with the help of this forum and all of the great people on it I’ve managed to build up a really good customer base of nearly 200 regulars.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=17pt]Right now I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’ve gone from having multiple credit cards and debt that I couldn’t keep up with to being on top of all my bills, almost debt free and living comfortably [/SIZE][SIZE=17pt]?[/SIZE] [SIZE=17pt]but besides the money the best thing to come out of all this is that I have finally found some direction, something that I enjoy, something that I can build on and grow, this is definitely the most important thing for me. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=17pt]It’s not been easy though, I probably should of left my part time job 2 months ago but a mixture of fear and enjoying having money kept me there longer than I should have been. The last 3-4 weeks have been a real struggle, I’ve never suffered with mental health problems and I’m definitely not shy of a bit of graft but leaving the house at 3:30am and not getting home until 4/5pm and then dealing with customers, arranging quotes plus making time for the Mrs & kids has left me worn out. I was snappy with everyone, I was dreading my work phone ringing and dreading having to wake up the next day and do it all again. I think a mixture of not enough sleep, a **** diet and not exercising are to blame. Take note everyone look after yourself & don’t burn yourself out. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=17pt]Anyway, this is getting a bit deep for a Wednesday morning and I’ve got windows to crack on with but I thought I’d share my little success story for you all, I’m still nowhere near where I want to be but I’m a million miles away from where I started I’ve just got to make sure I don’t get comfortable and I keep building. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=17pt]Have a good day everyone & stay safe [/SIZE][SIZE=17pt]??[/SIZE]
