Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Lee Pryor

I love that subject  ;D

He's at the window cleaning show doing talks, or he's gonna be . If you wanna know how to be a millionaire then go get booked in for one of his talks. I think the advertising blurb says how to go from a mop and bucket to 2.25 million pounds.

And thinking about it there's been lots of guys that have sort of shared their journeys over the years as they drove towards expansion. There's been Dave St.Ives, Darren(Smudger), Ian Lancaster, Vin (Clear Windows), Scrimble, Lee Pryor... lots of other too i can't remember.

 But i'm wondering is there anyone here who is the opposite of that..... started off reading here, had no round, made it happen and is now a succesfull cleaner?

I was going to go to that show and see his speech but unfortunately it clashes with an appointment I have with myself sticking rusty pins into my own eyeballs!! 😎

10 windows on 4 sides of a detached house. Plus a garage door.  (No house doors mentioned but at least 2)

And a gutter and fascia low down on the front.

In ten minutes.

One handed while picking your nose, Pinnochio?

 ;D

How long should it take me? 5 minutes. Maybe less dirt up here because of the rain we get.

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.

Now im not gonna quit the pressure washing its early days and ive been unlucky but i am going to focus back on my round, build it back up a bit and increase its efficency i will then take another shot at the pressure washing but i will probably steer away from the paid ads and try to get jobs off existing customers.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  Keep the pressure washing going mate... !!    ;D ;D ;D

I will but I did some ads on fb at the weekend to start building my round up and have ended up with 15 first cleans to do now  ;D. I will have to work through these then get back on the pressure washing ads.

To get to that level you just have to want it really bad. That's all there is to it.  Its not rocket science, you get new customers and get staff to clean them rinse and repeat. The  rest you figure out as you go.

Most of us  would like his money but wouldnt be willing to sacrifice what it takes to get there.

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

Is that turnover or profit out of interest?

I found it a good brush. The outer bristles splay a lot but it seems to do a good job and is fast to use.

One thing that seems to help is the shorter inner bristles are flocked and because they are short they hold their shape and scrub well. Assuming they have not changed as I bought my several years ago.
