on here we hear stories about earnings development etc which is all great .
i went into window cleaning last year because of being made unemployed and wanting an easier life. we started witt 7 customers and now have 130 approx purely from recomendation.we do not earn great amounts but get by and are increasing all the while. my target is 1 new customer a week which we are easily getting. begginning of this year started to do driveway cleaning which is going well .we have got a proffesional approach (uniform etc do not rush quality is everything and ring all our customers night before).
what i want to know is is our easier life good or do you lot just think were just being lazy ???

Wow, why does it matter what anyone on here thinks about your work/life-style.
You can bet you arent the only ones to be working that way, in just the same way as there are others who woRk less than you and others who work more.
Dont worry what others think on here.
If you do worry about it..............WHY?

sometimes just feel its being lazy . no holidays abroad but the stress is a hell of a lot less.

if you are happy then sod everyone else!

Well said :) As long as you are happy and can provide for your family, then it doesnt matter if you work an hour a week or 60.... do what makes you happy :)

Don't think it's a case of being lazy more a case of being so stupid to be employed by someone else before.
I was employed in the same trade for thirty odd years having to put in for time off to be with the family and not getting it because everybody wants the same weeks, piling in stacks of overtime only to get stung by the taxman and national insurance. Working my nuts off without a word of thanks then watching the firm sink whilst the directors tore the guts out of it laughing all the way to the bank and round the golf course. Watching my future pension shrivel before my eyes.
No. you're not being lazy you've just woken up to the real world - work to live, not live to work!

Calling all customer before you clean IMO is making a rod for yourself, I stear away from this or I would be on the phone more than I am already. You do what you need to do and if your happy with that then thats good for you m8, we all have different goals in life. ;)
