It not hard to earn an above average wage cleaning up north, o.k. you might not be able to charge as much
per property as you would in some areas in the south but charging is only one small part to building a profitable
business.
Its every bit as easy to build a very profitable window cleaning business in the north as it is in the south or any other part of the U.K.
Fair enough you might have to employ 5 people in the north to make the same as you would with 4 in the south
buts that hardly going to defeat you is it.
The boasters on here only use the fact that they work in the south as a way of making their boasting sound more
realistic.
Any successful business will come across things like competition, saturated areas, employing, problem solving as so forth but ask them about issues like this and you get nothing.
Mick Kent talks about his great money earning fronts but If I worked in his area he wouldn't have them, whys that
you ask ? simple I would find a way to clean the backs and offer it to his customers. ( Problem solving )
When I started up I was told by a business advisor (mate) not to bother as the area where I was planning to work in
was saturated.
But I offered something that the other guys didn't and that was to clean the frames and doors, simple and it worked.
Now if I want to get very wealthy from window cleaning all I need to do is get more customers and employ 5 people. if I
want to get supper wealthy I just need to keep on getting more customers and employ more.
Well I also need to find a way of keeping these storms from the U.K. horrendous weather here at the minute
I honestly don't think even Dazmond could handle it.

None that's why I said if I want to get wealthy (or what others would class as wealthy) I need to employ, but don't
get me wrong I spent 18 years working as a sheet metal worker or fabrication engineer as I like to call it. ;D
I then went on to do CNC machining in a factory and to be honest I'm as well off if not better cleaning windows
even though both off my previous jobs where fairly well paid.
The thing is on here if you don't agree with the boasters then you mustn't believe its possible to make a good
living cleaning windows or your mustn't have the belief or confidence to succeed.
I disagree with these types on here because their stories just don't add up not because I believe its impossible to earn
large in the window cleaning business.

Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience
