I went to a motivational talk by Rene carol. He name dropped Alan sugar and Richard Branson a few times He said a couple of helpful things that stuck with me but the funniest was when he told us to all give ourselves a pat on the back as we have come through the bad times and are still in business. This was about 2 years ago. He really knew his stuff didn't he?

This guy is quite literally one of the very best and most successful at what he does in the world and has been hired by very successful people and corporations. OK it is of limited value to window cleaners - especially sole traders. Personally I am not that ambitious, but it is very narrow minded to knock Anthony Robins - he is successful for good reason.

It's probably cause he's a yank so it makes him highly annoying

My motivation was to keep trudging forward. To build an empire. I would look at other businesses and think that's where I want to be. Only problem is I'm pretty bored of the whole process of getting more work now (im still actively getting and seeking more work though) It doesnt excite me anymore as i find there is mo creative Input. Its just more of the same. I'm moving back into design while still running what I have. (and maybe adding bits if they come aling) You never know I may feel differently in a few months once I've had a little time out.I have got to a position where all we clean is commercial. Some great paying contracts. Some not so good. I have minimal fuss and only really invoice as my only daily task. I have great reliable window cleaners that cause me no grief and are capable of being left on their own. I earn a good living but yet it's not enough and have minimal aggro.Sure when I get my new thing off the ground I will be looking for my next big goal.The moral of the story is find what makes you happy as restricting yourself by success can be crippling
My biggest motivator was Andy Cheney about 5 years agoI used to look at his posts, pics, website, style etc and I wanted be just like him, but thought it was impossible to be like him, I thought how does a guy achieve a business like that.At that time I had a clapped out estate car, no uniform, no website, no staff. Now 5 years later, I have surpassed him 5 fold and I am on my way to catch my latest idols, Jv, allclean etc.If you are motivated enough you can do it all yourself
The key to any business is to get as much ££ for as less effort.Easy said than done most would say,but thats where you have to look at what you got and how to improve on what you have.The one thing that got me was the fact some 400 custys ,clean there windows get piad next one.But hang on there,you got 400 custys just wanting to part with there money.So i got thinking and with out any effort i made in 10 days another £150.00 to the same custys.So yes sales work,what you chose to sale is the key.I had no more of the product i chose to sale but im working on setting up a whole new business to supply what my trail proved to me.I'm not saying what i sold by the way
