What a days cleaning
« on: July 05, 2012, 07:15:55 pm »
Yesterday with the good weather I started at 8.00am and didnt finish until 9.00pm, I was way behind with the weather and really needed to catch up and so I did!

Arm is aching today though as I didnt stop once, it got me thinking, if you got to the stage of being that busy nearly everyday with an employee you would be able to earn yourself a really really nice income minus your costs.

Its what I am aiming for anyway, build big quick, weed out bad customers, have good solid relaible round, sell add odds such as gutter cleans, patio cleans, chimney cleans etc

The only limit is the weather in this game really!

the simple fact is you cant sustain them sort of hours day in/day out.

steady at a brisk pace is my default setting when working these days!mind you ive been window cleaning for 18 years and im 40 now. ;D ;D

6 or 7 hours "on the glass" time is enough for me a day.i work in the rain as well.

one things for sure if you plan on working 10 hours a day 6 days a week cleaning you ll really get sick of it after a while regardless of how much money your making!

seriously money isnt everything!time with family and friends is just as important.


best wishes

ive done my share of crazy days i think once you do em then you can say ive done that but then its important to stop and get into a pattern or it will drive you crazy!

working hours now are normally 8.45 to 4pm sometimes 5 and try to treat yourself 10.30am to 3pm once a week it will do you the world of good dont forget this is not a desk job you need to look after your body for the long term
