Title: Left full time job yesterday
Post by: wightsurf on June 30, 2007, 10:46:01 am: Well it's taken me 15 months of hard work and from today i'm full time selfemployed. Thanks to many people on this site i make the same amount of money in 2 days as i did all week for someone else. ;D
I went straight in with water fed pole and soon as i got the hang of it no looking back.

You will get out of windowcleaning what you put into it.

My round at the moment is 95% commercial and i've finished before others start usually.

Leaving your comfort zone can take a bit of doing. Unemployment pushed me into window cleaning so mine was a "backs to the wall" decision.
Well done.
