The first 5 years are hard because of all the equipment needed to run the business. I'm after that stage and could go all in and try and grow my customer base but I like doing other things so have got best of both worlds. I think ones age has alot to do with it. I'm near 60 now and just want to plod along and do 3 days a week window cleaning. In life, I never would have thought I would be a window cleaner its one of those trades that operates under the radar of life.

A lot of us started off with a jalopy, a ladder and a bucket. Nothing hard in that.

The hardest part for me was discipline, growing a round from bugger all and working with a ladder when the wind is coming in from the north and you’re squeeging.



I’m doing it all over again over here. But I have one thing on my side, self belief.  I know I know what I’m talking about out here now, a good proportion of my work coming in now is from recommendations. Doesn’t take long if you’ve already done it once.

Rob is a fantastic developer and im sure he's learnt his lesson from building cleaner planner then selling it on. We need software for window cleaning built for MTD integration and I think Rob  Morgan is the man to do it. I did download Squeegee but really didnt like it so im hoping overture will be the answer for me from April 2027.

As for your question I would assume eveyone started off with no round who is now a cleaner ?

Yeah i get that, i meant who started off not knowing anything and learnt it all from here, getting jobs, scheduling, equiptment etc....

Fair play to him. To have the drive and ambition to get to 15+ vans is something very few of us have, myself included.
Always thought he came off as a bit of a nob when posting on here but recently listened to an interview with him and thought he came across really well.
Good luck to him and anyone else that grows to that size,

Like Lee or not, he’s been there, done it & is still wearing the t-shirt😎

Hats off to him.

I don’t know him personally but I guarantee he doesn’t give a 💩 what any of us think.

And vice versa! 👍
