After reading a load of posts of late I thought I would post this link as so many seem to miss the point on our business, window cleaning is not just a part time thing, it's a business some choose to play with it, some choose to run it like a business.
I hope this helps some of you on here, if you dont get it the first time watch it over an over as everything this guys is saying makes sence:

Its Guru-ism. We used to get a lot of that stuff in to review when i worked at Kodak because we did the training for Kodak Express. You would be suprised just how agressively the companies who market this stuff push it.
They do all sorts, not only business themes they do weight loss. organise your life etc. There are however reccouring trends. The powerful inspirational speaker, the sort of driving it forward positive style.
I think you either are suseptable to it or you are not, some people like it, other people find it a turn off

"anticipation is the ultimate power" praise the lord!! then vomit!!

Mentors are great for many aspects of life, if you choose to use them.

I went to a motivational talk by Rene carol. He name dropped Alan sugar and Richard Branson a few times ;D
He said a couple of helpful things that stuck with me but the funniest was when he told us to all give ourselves a pat on the back as we have come through the bad times and are still in business. This was about 2 years ago. He really knew his stuff didn't he? ;D

I went and saw Richard Branson, Alan sugar and Tony Robbins last year that are all inspiring.
I guess some dont like this type of thing.

Well moderated Dave. That Steve has a mouth like a Glaswegian, filthy. my kids cringe when he turns up, I swear he's going to hell with a tongue like that. Disgusting.

I don't mind it. The big guns you've mentioned would be great. Not some WWE star like you originally posted ;D a few things stuck with me from the talk i went too. Plus all knowledge is good knowledge if you make the most of it

This guy is quite literally one of the very best and most successful at what he does in the world and has been hired by very successful people and corporations. OK it is of limited value to window cleaners - especially sole traders. Personally I am not that ambitious, but it is very narrow minded to knock Anthony Robins - he is successful for good reason.

I guess many have never heard of his name DD that maybe why.

His stage name is also known as
Anthony 'macho man' Robins
Oooohhhhhhh yyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh!!

I don't think it's that. It's probably cause he's a yank so it makes him highly annoying :)

I would bet money Steve, if you was in a room with him he would have you dancing about like wally

If you were wearing that hat you had on the other night the only Wally would be you!

I'm afraid I don't get along with this style of business myself.
It's probably something to do with listening to "motivational" speeches in a non business environment during the early years of my life and finding it seriously flawed. I did try a year of Amway about 12 years ago. I think I've had my fill of this stuff. Apart from that, I'm quite capable of self motivation when I choose to go for it - it's just that I'm sometimes happier to self motivate in non business areas of life.

All this stuff sounds so right and brilliant when you are actually sitting there listening to it. Thats their big skill. Its like the bloke on the market stall selling a load of old tat but he talks it up and talks it up until he has you believing its a wonderful bargain.

My biggest motivator was Andy Cheney about 5 years ago
I used to look at his posts, pics, website, style etc and I wanted be just like him, but thought it was impossible to be like him, I thought how does a guy achieve a business like that.
At that time I had a clapped out estate car, no uniform, no website, no staff. Now 5 years later, I have surpassed him 5 fold and I am on my way to catch my latest idols, Jv, allclean etc.
If you are motivated enough you can do it all yourself
-
My motivation was to keep trudging forward. To build an empire. I would look at other businesses and think that's where I want to be. Only problem is I'm pretty bored of the whole process of getting more work now (im still actively getting and seeking more work though) It doesnt excite me anymore as i find there is mo creative Input. Its just more of the same. I'm moving back into design while still running what I have. (and maybe adding bits if they come aling) You never know I may feel differently in a few months once I've had a little time out.
I have got to a position where all we clean is commercial. Some great paying contracts. Some not so good. I have minimal fuss and only really invoice as my only daily task. I have great reliable window cleaners that cause me no grief and are capable of being left on their own. I earn a good living but yet it's not enough and have minimal aggro.
Sure when I get my new thing off the ground I will be looking for my next big goal.
The moral of the story is find what makes you happy as restricting yourself by success can be crippling :)

The key to any business is to get as much ££ for as less effort.
Easy said than done most would say,but thats where you have to look at what you got and how to improve on what you have.The one thing that got me was the fact some 400 custys ,clean there windows get piad next one.But hang on there,you got 400 custys just wanting to part with there money.So i got thinking and with out any effort i made in 10 days another £150.00 to the same custys.
So yes sales work,what you chose to sale is the key.
I had no more of the product i chose to sale but im working on setting up a whole new business to supply what my trail proved to me.
I'm not saying what i sold by the way 8)

GOOD ON YOU BUT £150 IN 10 DAYS IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE OR HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING?
-
So if you could get more money for little effort ,would you do it or not ?
It was a trail run after all,and it adds up at the end of the yr.Who would turn another £4000 away ?

well i suppose so, i guess i said that because we dont really know how much time or effort was involved the only figures were 10 days and £150.

I think your wasting your time with this lot Ian!! ;) personally I'm a big fan of Anthony Robbins, he talks a lot of sense.. But my favourite motivational speaker has got to be Art Williams, that man has truly inspired me to succeed in everything that I do, read his book 'All you can do is all you can do' its great!!
Here he is delivering his famous speech.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ8p7fGjVAk

Try reading Duncan bannatyne

ambition can make people ugly.i really hate these american type motivational speakers.i dont know what it is i find them all irritating!! ;D ;D
ive been to new york a few times and the tv over there is full of guys like this guy.the adverts are even worse with schemes to make more money.they are so arrogant and prideful!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
fair play if you think itll help your business though.
