I am fairly newly married and obviously had to earn a decent enough wage to get by. So at the time we got married I was working as a lawn care operative (making lawns greener and less weedier). I then got offered a better job doing the same thing, it was more freedom with the van and finish when I finished the jobs. 10 months in and after moving out of our flat due to damp and in with the in laws, I wanted to take up window cleaning as I have a few friends that are window cleaners and they seemed pretty happy with it. So as we were living with the in laws at low rent, I decided to go for it. My job tried keeping me on but I had a friend that was selling a trailer with the equipment to start with. I told him that I didn't have any means of pulling it so he made me an offer I couldn't turn down. He gave me the trailer along with a Volvo v40 1.9d in exchange for our crappy Citroen c1. I did not hesitate and I took it. I handed in my notice (even though I said I would stay) and started advertising straight away. Had a few jobs from gumtree which were basically practice houses and friends took me on as their window cleaner to help me build a round. Slowly but surely I have built up a decent enough round and still growing. The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. I kind of landed on my feet the way mine panned out but it can still work for anybody. You just need to put your mind to it [emoji4]
