dump her, and make he beg when you make it big time, then say what have you done for me today, what are you bringing in.

Jokes aside, if shes saying this she worried about money, maybe sell me your van  ;D

also she should be lucking to have a fireman as a partner, that is the uniform your wearing on your website inst it  :-\

Dont forget CIU rules state you need to pick up 2 if you dump 1!

Seriously maybe sit down with her and explain what you have been doing and each day make a point of talking to her about your day. Try not to resort to sarcasm as this only makes matters worse.
Either she will get fed up of hearing about it or she may become more supportive.
Either way, and even if this fails, communication is vital in any relationship and you need to keep trying.

All the best.

what really gets on my nerves is when the window cleaner that does my street is still here at 5pm, I am usually home about 3.

she starts all the see imagine what you would earn if you worked on for a couple hours more :'( I always say he has to work late he only takes three quid a house, or he only works three days a week, I know him and both are true, good lad works long and hard for his money though

I feel your pain Cliff.

I am very fortunate that my better half is supporting me to the hilt over me building my business. I am actually the one who is forever moaning that I am not doing well enough!
Seriously though, how long have you been in this game and how well do you personally feel you are doing?

These are personal questions, the answers to which don't matter to anyone else but yourself.
If you feel you need to build your business up some more, why not set yourself some targets, eg x number of customers by the end of the month.

Your wife needs to know that it takes time to build a window cleaning business up (2 years + if building from scratch) and you need to pace yourself while doing so or you will burn yourself out.

If you need to, take a day off to recharge your batteries, or gear yourself up to do an hour or two canvassing. Whatever you feel you need to do, try not to let it stress you out, and look at it as a work in progress. Once you have achieved your targets of xxx customers are £YYY, you will have a decent business which you can look at with pride over the effort you have put in to make it successful.  

Best wishes,
John
