Good on you mate, you will escape but you will need to put alot of hours in to build up a decent customer base.

It will be hard work if you can knock about 5-8 hours a day about 30-43 hours a week 2 weeks solid tell them the 1st clean will be within 2-3 weeks , clean all the houses you got,then work out which ones are not suitable ,and so on,

Excellent mate, glad your enjoying it, I'm In a similar place building up work, 7 customers is a good start for a day or two canvassing, be encouraged by that and keep knocking! Jake
