Is Lee Pryors venture insane or genius?

Won't work, far too big, can't be managed as suggested.
The sky's the limit, an entrepreneur to look up to, what a star, what a business.

 I would say he is definitely  an entrepreneur  to look up to, because he has the balls to take risks,
 he also has drive and determination.
 All the most successful people on this planet didn't get where they are without taking  risks, nothing is certain.

Why didn't you then? you know what this forum is like, you've said many times this is why you don't post on here so don't bother posting then. You say you put it up for something different and some fun..well a poll is a bit of fun. I get the feeling you just wanted a load of posts saying "well done go for it Lee your brave" because if someone post any doubts about it or say's your stupid their negative and you get your back up and don't like it.
Personally i would find it interesting to see how it goes but from the basic details you have posted on this forum(probably rightly so) all your going to get are basic reply's of your brave or plain stupid and a bit of pee take in-between as you cant really make any real proper judgement from them.
I generally wish you luck with no wife and kids there's never a better time to take a big risk like this and at some point I'm sure it will all pay off.

I don't care if he succeeds or fails, neither do I admire or resent him.
The guy clearly has an ego that he likes to be stroked, why else would he post his plans all over a public forum.
He has no girl in his life, no kids and now no home. Why? Because his ultimate goal is to be rich, no matter the risk, and have all the material things that come with being rich as well as the 'power' and ' repect' he seems to desperately crave.
His goals in life are just different to mine and others but they don't make him any better of a person then any of us on here or worthy of some of the uh-hm licking iv seen.
I'm happy with my business, happy to go home and bang my sexy missis every night, happy to go on holiday with my kids to Disneyland.
I wouldn't trade my life for all the money in the world.
The thought of managing several 1000 customers, staff, fleet of vans, premises, working 7 days a week..... It actually depresses me but is an idea that excites lee.

Nice post Chris, Lee why are you getting upset do you not want honest opinions ? personally I think your business plan
isn't the greatest and your head seems to be in  the clouds but maybe that's why I will never be a millionaire and you might be.

As soon as anyone shows intent to dream big so many on here put it down to ego. The reason most don't like it is because there simply not in a position to do what lees done so they choose to be negative.  If he pulls it of he will be rich in 10 years. if he doesn't he can throw the towel in and get a bird to cook his tea and take her kids to Disney like the rest of us do.  :D

Its not the dreaming that's ego its the individuals manner. They're easy to spot - half a handful of negative posts in with 5 or 6 pages of otherwise positive or run of the mill responses and they accuse CIU members of ganging up on them.

Ask searching questions and they don't get answered.

Make snide remarks as responses to those who question the setup and they've filled the criteria for being someone who makes ego driven posts.

I think its a shame he locked that post, I wanted to follow him and see him pursue his dream. Seriously. I asked a couple of searching question and they were ignored, I assume he wants the attention but not the consequences as a result of that.

Its a shame, a fella who started with nought and in a few years is on his way to being a millionaire from scrubbing glass - not bad. If it works.

The only guys on here that will criticise what he's doing are sole traders or guys who employ 1 staff and are in a window cleaning rut of wanting it all and simply not having the know how or the balls or the vision maybe to make it happen.

What's so wrong in starting a poll that it should attract your criticism then?
It's a poll, asking people's opinions, nothing more nothing less. No ridicule, no criticism, no ugly motive. I can't see how you could possibly draw something critical from that. But then again mate, if you're that driven to make a point...

Fighting other people's battles says a lot about you mate.

I will be back in a few months to show the progress. I cant answer every  question. Plus I was moving house in the last 2 days and just havnt had time.

I locked the thread because I have nothing more to say at this time. I think its a shame there are a lot of very small minded people on here but hey ho that's life.

Lastly for those that think I don't have a life and am sad ect. I have a very good life as it goes, a lovely and very supportive partner I'm happy and all that. I simply want to grow my business for the fun of it, I love it and that's that. When I'm sat pool side next week on the palm island in Dubai,  the small minded morons on here can kiss my nice arse!

I actually love the fact that a good percentage of morons on here have no clue how to do what I'm doing nor do they ever want to, because lets face it I wouldn't want to be up against Richard Branson types would I

You insulting rude people just drive me harder to succeed!

Matt and others with real questions can ask them in a few months when I'm back with some updates and some real results. I mean do you honestly think I'm not going to get any work from a million leaflets? We will see wont we MODDED. I'm actually starting to enjoy this.

You don't come across well at all. If I were you I'd try a little humility. It does seem you've done well, but let's be honest it isn't rocket science is it? Canvass/drop leaflets, clean windows, canvass/drop leaflets, clean more windows with more people and vans.

I think you'll find most of these left of their own accord, usually crying when their superiority BS didn't wash with more "normal" people. Lee just wants attention, sad but true. A bit like the sad "friend" we all have on FB who's need for constant attention and  compliments unfortunately renders them a "joke".
 I suggest he stops using a public forum for his self gratifying needs and just gets on with the job in hand- man up and jog on! It will work or it wont, but you have to accept that most people on here wont care either way.

Its so much more frustrating when no one is interested in your thread, a instant shut down on ego!!

If lee wants to go for it then fair play to him. I genuinely hope it works for him. I admit i would love to have a large business and great income but just could not be bothered with the hassle of managing it. I have managed teams in my previous work and know what a drag it can be at times.

one of my customers has the biggest privately owned company in his line of work in the uk with 1800 employees. He started with nothing and him n his wife have built an amazing company. It can be done folks.

I don't think anybody is saying it cant be done there's a window cleaner in my area who employ's 20 plus, the thing is he didn't need to sell his home and go into enormous debt to do it.
He got more work employed a person to cover it and kept on doing that until he is where he is today, Lee's story just doesn't
add up and that's where the negativity is coming from.
He has five vans on the road at the moment so why isn't the profit from them not covering van 6 and 7 plus a better office ?
it would be different if he had been offered a chance to buy another round with 6000 customers and had to move quick to
secure and service it.

Lee you will find that all the people with negative answers are the same ones that give negative comments on the forum, you will probably find that most of them probably live within a fifty mile radius so are probably  frightened your gonna take some of the work, I hope you succeed at your venture, it's gonna be stressful finding enough decent workers to fill all your vans gonna be hard for you but there's nothing wrong with bettering yourself, jealousy springs to mind

No one is against improving their businessIin a logical brave manor. Yes theres taking risks but not stupidly doing so great a leap. Wasnt it the same on alan sugar apprentice, where many wanted to open chains of hairdressing or a fleet of plumbers. The chap who won had grown his business very similar to what lee is taking about ie 5 vans. This chap wanted sugar to invest in a great many fleet and even tho he won. Sir alan sugar saw the potential over a large period of time and wasnt planning on an instant growth as was suicidal to do so. But the slow wise course was agreed upon.
But quite frankly lees attitudr is getting up peoples noses not his pipe dream business plan!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait... !!!!!

It's the same pattern they all seem to follow - post their plans all over the forum then boast about their holidays, their car, how little they work untill they back themselves into a corner, have a hissy fit then leave. Why not plod along, keep quiet and build their empire.  Funny people these Superior types. I've watched them all over the last eight years or so. Exactly the same every one.

Good luck to you Lee ,  You have balls to go for something big, I read the whole thread from before ,You wanted to share your idea with  your fellow windy's and unfortunately some have just wrote some negative views on it about your ego  etc..     Some Negative criticism is useful if said in the right way  , I look forward to your progress .

Personally i wouldn't go as big as you are looking to do it in such a quick time and i wouldn't remortgage or sell house , I also wouldn't spend so much on advertising and vehicles but then i'm thinking safe , Maybe you could do it and it could really take off , But good luck !

It's times like this when I realise I'm happy just being a run of the mill, sole trader window cleaner.
Coz if I were a "high flying successful entrepreneur in the making" I might well be in Dubai next week......laying by the pool.........next to Lee Pryor.............in his budgie smugglers.  ::)roll

If there is a God?.........Thankyou!  ;D

;D I've heard of no sense but don't talk nonsense Sherlock .. He's going to defend his ideas especially when he believes in them and has put his money on the line. The only guys on here that will criticise what he's doing are sole traders or guys who employ 1 staff and are in a window cleaning rut of wanting it all and simply not having the know how or the balls or the vision maybe to make it happen. The fact your trying to justify singling him out for your own thread says a lot


Didn't realise anyone was fighting you keyboard warrior.  :) I do not know the guy from Adam but I'm just not sure when he asked for opinions he was expecting guys like you that he could sell ten times over to tell him where he's going wrong. It's more interesting hearing stories like his on ideas to expand and really have a go rather than the drivel and and moaning that you see to be pointing at him.  He's choosing a different option rather than just getting by which most on this forum including myself are content to do. I will leave it there now because  bickering like this then people from a distance  won't be able to tell which one of us in an idiot.

What's so wrong in starting a poll that it should attract your criticism then?
It's a poll, asking people's opinions, nothing more nothing less. No ridicule, no criticism, no ugly motive. I can't see how you could possibly draw something critical from that. But then again mate, if you're that driven to make a point...

Fighting other people's battles says a lot about you mate.

James purewash I can't remember anyone ever taking a dig at you, have I missed something?

Iv read alot of your posts over the past couple of years as your business as grown. You have given and taken alot of advice and when in need of assistance this forum was probably a godsend for you.
Now your business has a grown to a larger level suddenly 'you shouldn't waste your time on here' because all we talk about is brushes ::)roll

This is exactly the type of comment and attitude that causes the aggression aimed the 'big' boys.
It has nothing to do with jealousy because quite simply it really isn't that difficult to build a larger scale window cleaning business once your up and running, just not that many want to go that far.

You lot like to think it's all 'jealousy' because your giant ego wants others to be jealous of what you have. 
It's not your wallet size that p!sses people off, it's your f@cking 'I'm superior attitude' that seems to grow along with your wallet.
Just because you turn over £6 million a day why can you no longer talk about which brush is best, like you did when you were only turning over £200 a day?

Well said. Personally I think they are laughable some of these wannabes, more to be pitied than admired in most cases.

If all the twats that think they are above other window cleaners on here buggered off it would prob be a better place. I like to know whats the best brush or pole, i like to know whats the lightest and the fastest.
Without those questions and answers i wouldnt enjoy my job by being able to do it the best way i can.
Actualy growing and gaining customers that these morons think only they can do which i find to be the silly threads as anyone can do it if you put your mind and time to it..
Who cares if you turn over £250k a year as a franchise  ::)roll or selling your house to live with parents coz your struggling to live on 5 vans out each day  ::)roll.  As great as these bull poopers make themselfs out to be all they are doing is what everyone else has done...grown a business to the size we want or require. As said easy stuff that isnt rocket science...the actual gems are the threads that these idiots make out are silly lowlife threads about brushes and poles where we can find the right equipment to buy that has been recommended by fellow window cleaners to make our day to day working lives that much easier and quicker to earn more $$$

They want to come back on here when they've don it not thinking about it,we can all think about it. I could sell my house tomorrow and do the same with less pressure as could many more on here probably if I wanted to make this job go from an easy way of life and easy to earn a good living to nothing but a headache. if I wanted to invest that kind of money it wouldn't be in window cleaning each too there own but all can see is it not happening in just my opinion,you would need half a dozen people running that kind of operation even if it is just cleaning windows.

Im sure ive used this point before, but its a good one so here I go.....
There was this man, a fisherman who only worked enough hours of the dag to catch what he needed and return home to his family. So he didnt work full days or even a full week, but was efficient when he worked. Rest of time spent with his wife and children at home or on the beach.
He was noticed by an entrepreneur who saw his potential and efficiency and so approached him. He began by telling him how hes wasting valuable time by not staying out at see longer. If he would stay out longer and for the full wk, he could be more efficient!  Infact he could sell the eztra catches and make some good profit. After some years he could then invest in another boat. With the amount he would be catching he could negotiate better prices and after some more yrs buy another boat. Infact you could sell your catch direct to suppliers and control ur environment. Re invest in another boat and after some more yrs you could manage a fleet and guess what the end results are. The fisherman smiles and says how long would it all take? The entrepreneur tells him maybe 15/20 years, but then heres the best part!! You can retire and spend more time with your family!!!

Isnt that a great point!!........many on here may not have the life that entrepreneurs dream and chase of having........or do we and they just simply dont see it.

Some people find happiness in family and enjoying life others find it in chasing money or building an empire, you cant fault Lee for wanting the empire, where would we be without guys like that.
The successful guy is the one who can do both, I don't think there will be anybody envious of a rich successful business man who gave up his whole life to get it.
I used to work for a guy like that and believe me I was more than glad he was the way he was as it kept me in a decent paying job
for many years, but I wouldn't swap his life and wealth for mine.

Did the fisherman also tell him there's a good chance you'll have a heart attack with the stress of building it,don't worry he said you'll still be with your family they can stuff you and put you in the corner and look at you thinking how well you've done for them. There's no right way or wrong way this is a pointless argument if he wants to do it good luck I would much rather have more than I spend each week- month and sit on the beach for a month of the year with a good book. One thing getting a bit older has taught me is that life is short if you have your health and your not panicking about the bills dropping on the mat enjoy it.
