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 get that too.

Nevermind rant over.

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

Cliff, it's good that you are happy with the way it's going for you. That is all that matters really isn't it? Keep it up, and don't let anyone make you feel anything other than the success you are. Maybe you could take the wife to work and show her just how hard you do work! Perhaps you could train her up and send her out to work while you stay at home and do the bookwork!

John

mine drove me mad.....so i shot her!! >:(
not really but i often think about it! ;D
-
got rid of mine or she got rid of me;
cant remmember wich
anyways no pasa nada punanni now
single lifes great ;D
-
tell her to go do one and get a job to to earn extra money.... its not about seeing how much money you earn and how many vans you have out,
as long as you have enough to pay bill etc its all good...
i love it when my mrs says you working tomorrow and i say NO day off .... sometimes i may get a few off on a roll... i love being home .. find that balance -- work to live not live to work !!!
-
in fairness to her what are you doing coming home at 3pm? ;D ;D ;D ;D
seriously though i would calmly talk to her and say it takes time to build a business and i will work harder so you can spend my money more quickly!
as your still building up tell her to think about finding a job herself so she has her own money to buy stuff she wants and not needs! ;) :D :D
if your spending more time on here instead of canvassing for more work with an expensive van on the drive doing nothing then she does have a point.

Cliff i take it your water fed pole for window cleaning.
I don't mean to sound funny and it's probably me being a dope.
But why have you got a pic of someone abseiling for window cleaning on van?
Do you use this method for commercial?
Maybe Domestic custies think your coming down from roof on rope like s.a.s ;D
Hope work rolls in quick for you, took me two years to have a decent round, I think you can throw all the money you want at this business, but rome wasn't built in a day.

No it was just an image of a window cleaner i liked,i dont do it at present but that doesnt mean i wont in the future.
Thinking ahead.
Regards
Also i think it makes people think my company is bigger than it is which is t a bad thing
