Mine is to turn my round into a better quality round.
New customers will be prepared to pay a decent price
The customers who don't pay promptly will be dropped
Reliable customers only - not interested in the ones who only want cleans done every 12 weeks etc or tell me to 'leave it another month' when I have taken the trouble to attend
Good luck to everyone

Work less - need to achieve
Put prices up -doing now
Drop anyone that messes - done that , feels good that one.

easiest way to have a holiday is to go and book it ;) do it for one of your wife's Christmas present (2birds one stone) and you get all the browny points :)

i was talking about a deposit, you get the paper work she gets the surprise christmas day, you get the browny points and something to work too which the excuses ( we all make them)
The way your saying it is way less appealing, go have some fun today and smash that goal before 2013 and come up with a new one :)
-
mines to convince the mrs i need some new custom built rods ;D ;D
-
Personal goals
To remain a non smoker throughout 2013. (3 months now after 18 years being a smoker)
Have atleast 1 foreign holiday (already booked)
Business Goals
To carry on increasing the size of our commercial round.
To increase our customer average spend on our domestic round (conservatory cleans, fascia cleans, pressure washing etc)
Invest a lot more profit back into the business. (New poles mainly)

I just didn't tell mine was a bit late when a nice tube of goodys arrived at the door ;D
-
Just to continue growing the business.
And treat myself to a newer van as I am very tight with money when it comes to spending it on something for myself.
We have a holiday all sorted to Oz next Christmas, with a few days in Singapore on the way.
To fish more. When I become self employed 20 odd years ago I thought it would mean working when I wanted. Not a chance. Contracts need honouring and with some work being daily I work 7 days a week almost all the time :-\
-
Get my employee full time so I can turn my window cleaning rounds into a business that brings in money even if i dont do any work on the glass ..... this will free me up to do what Im good at which is sales.
also bring in other income streams such as power washing, gutter vac, conny restoration etc etc.
oh and get a website sorted for my domain www.1wc.co.uk

Mine is to gain an extra grand a month, whether through windows, connies, whatever.
Once i do , i am treating myself to a new midlife crisis bike, BMW R1200GS.
Nearly went for it the weekend, but i want to reward myself for effort :)
-
Focus on the important things.
Mrs and kids are more important than $

Just getting rid of all domestic customers, to concentrate on contract work, more more money for less hours + guarantee payment, fed up hearing " can i pay next month " or " can you come back friday"
-
i just need more time to myself , got far too much work which is great , but am doin most of it myself which leaves me no time to build the buisness , and in spring i get busy with my jet washing , so for me the goal is to get someone in more or less full time , obviously i care about making lots of money , but right now i just need to do a bit less even if i lose a bit by paying someone else :D

I did that after my first or second year, soon realized what I'd done and changed back. A healthy mix of both is always good.

Some goals are just too far away :(

spend more time focusing on family life and having fun, enjoying life. Window cleaning is just a means of paying the bills, get efficient at it and live life as much as possible outside of work.
