Just totalled up the round values and need another £727 worth of annual work to hit a milestone that i could have only dreamed of a couple of years ago.
Anyone got a trumpet they could lend me ;D

What is the milestone? I've got one coming up but the bullying and name calling on here deters me from posting it.

Well done Sunshine!
How do you get most of your work - canvassing or leaflets?

well done on reaching the magic £1 million !!
just wait for the usual brigade to come along and shoot you down for bragging and being a billy big boots ::)roll

Thanks guys.
Not a massive amount in comparison to what some have achieved on here, (I'd rather not disclose the figure) but I'm very happy with the growth considering I only switched to franchising on Feb 2015.
Most of our work comes in through website enquiries and checkatrade. I haven't done a leaflet drop since Jan 2015 just before I needed a big rush of work to get the franchisees off the ground.
I'm still massively down on my annual income from what it used to be, but that's because I've given lots of my work to the franchisees and taking a lesser %. In this for an easy life though, not to be busting my balls with no time to enjoy life.

Onwards and upwards Lance. Well done.

I wouldnt say he is being a billy big boots by saying he is at a milestone! He hasnt mentioned an amount or anythong like that so fair play to him for doing well without the need to show off about it.
Its the believers who believe everything someone says regarding how over the top well they are doing posting £££ that makes a comical post regarding earnings ets as it bigs the poster of the dream right up.
Can spot the dreamers a mile off on here posting there day rate and earnings(dreamings).
Only a complete idiot would make a thread to post there true earnings!.
Gullible idiots pat there back and want too smell there poo.

Appreciate the kind gestures fellas.
Hoping to be in a position where i can concentrate purely on building the rounds in the near future.
Trying to sell a property I've rented for a while to become mortgage free and enjoy life before it's too late. The old bones are starting to creak a bit now. 😂

All very tame. Where's SeanK? Chumbucket is back under a new name. I'll see if I can draw them out by posting my milestone in a day or two when I reach it.

Does this mean sunshine that your up with me and 8weekly nudging 500 a day then lol,you do know that is against the window cleaning law to earn anymore than a pittance of a living just enough for a bit of diesel and a few beers m8,you keep this kind of talk up you'll be getting called Billy big balls.

Is the milestone a grand?
That should be achievable if you start undercutting. Better still, there's a load of work going round Johnny Bravo's way.
Upwards and onwards.

Funny isn't it. Not a peep, because someone is doing well for themselves.

I think most people are just bored of hearing the success stories, I know I am.
If people really feel the need to tell the world how great their life is, let them do it. Their lives have absolutely no influence on my life, so what's the point in praising them, or indeed berating them.
I have a 100 ideas on ways I could expand my business to new heights, but I'm happy and content enough already in my life, so choose not to follow through with those ideas. I think the same goes for alot of others on here.
The only reason I criticise 'the million dollar babies' on here is I find their urge to tell the world 'how great their life is', slightly repulsive.
True inspiration comes from 'within', and not from some window cleaner down in Swindon.

But you telling me that you are content to stay a "one man band" doesn't irritate me so why should someone telling others that they are reaching their goals "repulse" you? It suggests that whatever has come to you from "within", it isn't contentment.
-
I think most people are just bored of hearing the success stories, I know I am.
So you're not easily pleased.
Why don't you start a discussion about business failures and unsecured contracts?
-
:(
If you are fed up and repulsed by reading success stories don't open threads titled "Getting there!".
Simples.
-
I've already got there.
Ask my Mum.

"I could but nah I wont bother" then slag off others who do what you cannot do, how pathetic, stick to your day job son

Why should I be pleased??
The dude reached his goals, big deal, whoopdy whoo, good for him.
Why not just give himself a pat on the back and get on with his life.
Everyone has goals in life, few feel the need to tell the world everytime they achieve them.
I'm not repulsed by others achievements, I'm repulsed by their need to seek recognition for it.

Look up the meaning of 'seeking recognition', then you might see what's wrong with those quotes you posted.
What's funny is most of you million dollar babies' think me, chumbucket, seank etc are being negative, when that's far from the truth. We are happy ( well I am, not sure about seank ;D) and reward our own achievements with SELF recognition'. We have no desire to be recognised by others for our life achievements because we are happy for ourselves. There is no better happy then your OWN happiness.
Which is why I'm repulsed by the need to seek recognition'.

It's true though. If you were content and happy in yourself, you would not be bothered by such threads.

You guys asked for this did you not? You were clearly seeking opinions, I obliged and gave you the reasons why seank and chum have not responded. Those reasons are clear, it's boring and repulsive that a grown man has to seek recognition', likewise of a child, for everything he achieves.
We've made those opinions clear, yet everytime a thread like this is started you guys almost seek out these opinions once more. The reason for that? Even negative attention is attention, exactly why these threads are started😉

that's a peculiar way of thinking ???

It's a shame that someone can't come on to an industry forum to discuss the direction and successes of his business without being called repulsive. I think it's a British mentality thing, I wouldn't imagine the yanks would be so petty and small minded.
Go luck to you.

Have you actually read most of the thread?
Lee Pryor comes out of his hole every now and again to give it the big one, knowing full well he's going to get slaughtered.
Anyone who starts a thread just to talk about the value of their own life doesn't really value themselves at all. Only once their being 'acknowledged', in a positive or even negative way, do they feel valued.
Anyone who wants to run a large, successful business, I say good luck to them. Absolutely nothing wrong with it If that's what truly makes them happy. But for Christ's sake have some humility.
Of course be proud of yourself for what you've achieved, and use your knowledge to help others. There's just absolutely no reason to gloat.
I don't care what anyone says, this thread was set up for one purpose, so the op could hear "well done lance". ::)roll ugh

It is just you three. Happy people don't denigrate others and frankly Chumbucket seems unbalanced to me.

I just want to add something to this..
At some point I plan on expansion, I'm 31 now, my kids are in primary school, my other half works full time so I switch between working and school runs. I enjoy it, I enjoy picking the kids up from school, taking them to the park, watching them grow up. I absolutely love the work/life balance i have at the moment. Once the kids hit senior school and I'm no longer required for school runs, and the kids would rather be seen dead then with daddy, I will expand. I already know exactly how, and roughly when I'm going to do it. By age 50 I don't want to be on the glass, I want a couple of vans on the road where others are earning the money for me.
During the expansion phase I may ask for help and advice on tax issues, vat etc from those in the knowing, and once I myself am in the knowing I would be more then happy to share that advice.
However, at no point and under any circumstances would I ever feel the need to tell others, especially a bunch weirdos ;D on a forum the extent of my success. If people ask, I would tell, if it helps them achieve whatever it is they want to achieve.
Once my goals are achieved I will crack open a bottle of wine, smile to myself and enjoy the fruits of my labour. That for me is enough.
I won't need recognition, I won't need to hear "well done buddy" from some guy iv never even met. I will be happy for myself. That's all that matters to me.
This why people need to understand I'm not bitter, jealous, resentful towards the achievers, I just have a different perspective that directly clashes with theirs.
Some day I will be them, just a different kind of "them".

When you reach that expansion phase and you ask for help on VAT, let's hope you don't get called a liar and abused on here then and forever stalked thereafter. :)

Sunshine Windows, well done, I think you've earned some recognition.
For those who are quick to mock, I think you should save a little money and buy yourselves some decency.

That's a huge post just to tell everyone that you are happy. It usually transpires that those who are "happy, not bitter, not jealous" are almost always the opposite.

No thanks, although you could give me the rights to make a mould of your "rear". There's a whole market out there waiting to be tapped.
Scrimble already has one on pre order ;D

Once the kids hit senior school and I'm no longer required for school runs, and the kids would rather be seen dead then with daddy, I will expand. I already know exactly how, and roughly when I'm going to do it. By age 50 I don't want to be on the glass, I want a couple of vans on the road where others are earning the money for me.
During the expansion phase I may ask for help and advice on tax issues, vat etc from those in the knowing, and once I myself am in the knowing I would be more then happy to share that advice.
However, at no point and under any circumstances would I ever feel the need to tell others, especially a bunch weirdos ;D on a forum the extent of my success. If people ask, I would tell, if it helps them achieve whatever it is they want to achieve.
Once my goals are achieved I will crack open a bottle of wine, smile to myself and enjoy the fruits of my labour. That for me is enough.
I won't need recognition, I won't need to hear "well done buddy" from some guy iv never even met. I will be happy for myself. That's all that matters to me.
This why people need to understand I'm not bitter, jealous, resentful towards the achievers, I just have a different perspective that directly clashes with theirs.
Some day I will be them, just a different kind of "them".
Fair play.

That's a huge post just to tell everyone that you are happy. It usually transpires that those who are "happy, not bitter, not jealous" are almost always the opposite.
In your mind maybe. Which one are you btw? I'm guessing by the tone of most of your posts just completely bitter :-*
Not remotely. Just an observation of your self promotion of doing all this that and the other before you are 50.
The kind of thing you "revile".
Hypocritical really. :-\

I like to see a successful window cleaner as we are looked down upon in life, its the idiotic ooooh look at me threads that do my head in, who cares if you earn x amount, what would be nice would be the story behind why and how you did it and not just the money number.
I was so proud of myself when i started fresh and built up all my front only work, which got me out of the red and stress feeling depressed with an under priced round with no scope, I spoke about it on here and also gave inspiration to others to do the same as had many phone calls and emails from other windys from here, also with the sold board hunting, so many do that now. Noone on here knows what i earn and i like to keep it that way, im more about learning from others and helping others when i can, these twats that need to tell you they are at 250k or have 5000 customers and have 20 vans etc as good as it may feel to post that why not post how you get to your result and why you do it.
Sensible people dont post garbage like what they earn but the ones who feel they need to brag why not real it up a bit more and give your story on how you got to where you are today, thats what i like to read and what makes me want to try harder.

Didn't you post a picture of an office you did not long ago and how much you charged for it?
And I do agree with what you said.

Once you start employing you will need to drink something stronger than wine to help you get through a day... And the smile won't last long, lol :)

What a holier than thou pillock. Nobody needs to understand anything about what you say.
Jealous hypocrite ;D

Is it a hobby of yours to spend hours picking over sentences so you can come up with a lame rhetoric?
So predictable :-*

Nope. Just love pointing out BS. ;D

Well that escalated rather quickly.
As far as feeling the need for praise, what a load of crap. I've already given myself a pat on the back and feel great for having changed 4 other people's financial status for the better. 2 are earning more than double their previous wages (yes minus my %) 1 is earning more than 3 times and the other is now earning roughly the same working 6 days a month.
Like I have said, I'm not in this for the money, although it obviously does me ok. It was a case of turn work away or make the most of it. I chose the latter.
I'm more than happy to offer advice to anyone, had a nice chat with another forum member only yesterday.

Personally if I was in your situation I would cash in warmer climate to aid the aches and pains cheaper living costs etc etc
Why run a business where you are relying on others and all the stress and grief that goes with it
cash in and enjoy retirement
look after yourself family etc
and enjoy yourself

These type of threads are why I love this forum. With so many different characters there's always going to be clashes and, personally, I like to clash now and again. I think it's healthy.
As long as the language is kept to a minimum and the personal insults don't get to personal, it's great fun.
If we were all just holding hands and singing kum ba yah all the time it would be incredibly boring.
