I personally don't have any what you call dross work although some are better priced than others,as years have gone by i have got rid of low paying work. If weather is bad over an extended period I can catch up easily money wise I'm not interested if I catch up with behind work that's late. If you have a so called religious route you do it becomes almost impossible to catch the cash up over the course of a month or week,I like to do what work I fancy by choice to a certain extent I might think I fancy doing 3 jobs here and 1 big job there and I've done my money for the day.

But surely, if these jobs are monthly and you did those 3 jobs and that 1 big job at the end of the month then they wouldn't be due until end of next month?
Or would you do them at the end of the month and then because you need cash , you would then do them a week later because your into next month

wrong time of the month.

In my houshold there is never a right time of the month with my missus

I have a lot of  days like that day I never or rarely do anymore than 6-8 jobs a day I get offered to quote estate or cup de sac work but I turn it down I have a minimum in my mind I want to earn ,I have found over the years small houses are harder work higher volumes are needed hence more rushing around every day. I'd rather park up once and earn more doing that 1 job than i could doing 4/5 houses,it's taken years picking up and dropping jobs but I can now work every day without running.,it's not the amount of houses you have written down on a sheet of paper when you go out in the morning it's the amount in your pocket for the littlest effort.

50-60 houses a day blimey where do you work lego land 😂

My understanding is that we are all adults on this site, dispite being new to window cleaning or experienced workers in the game for many years. If someone (like myself) has a massive or quite an extensive round and wishes to segment it into smaller rounds in order to organise his or her books and working schedule. Or somebody chooses to cherry pick their work for most profit first and keaving dross till last for financial reasons,,,,,,does it really matter.   For threads on here, im sure we all have (dispite level of intellect) an understanding of the thread via reading it in context, even you soupy

Sure, if you want your round to be a jumbled mess, crack on mate, I don't care. But you can't just start miss-naming things or it gets confusing.

The idea is to have next to no jobs you hate or
Dread doing,how many times in the past have you sat indoors on a Sunday and thought oh no I've got to go there tomorrow that's gonna put me behind or stop me earning more money that's my point.

We've all (probably) got bits of our rounds that are better than others. My mindset is just get your head down and get on with it. You've got to take the rough with the smooth. It's pointless making today great if you're just making tomorrow worse.

How often do you go out Soupy? To clean windows I mean?

[Soupy]

Not often.

[NWH]

If your sending people out to clean windows your mind set is totally different,in previous posts I've said this some people have to take anything on as in some cases it's a numbers game for them therefore they are unable to conceive that I can earn my money doing a fraction of jobs because it's quality work. I met a WC the other who was quick to tell me he had 600 houses,I thought blimey that's a lot but if you compared his 600 to someone else's 150 houses that are quality he's running round like a headless chicken doing 450 more jobs for less money lol just shows you even some WCs have a brain.

That's right. I reckon Soupy's too far removed from being a sole trader to judge.

I cleaned windows full time for over a decade. The business model doesn't change if you scale it up.

True, but I don't mind sending others out to do jobs I don't like. If I worked alone as a sole trader I'd just drop them.

Totally agree, once you start dumping work because you think other work is easier/ better then its only a matter of time until that easier better work becomes the next day dread.

Your mind set changes bexause you see it as income because you're not cleaning it like I said employing it becomes a numbers game,I sub out work I wouldn't do myself that's the proof it was good I'd have it for myself. You need to have had hard graft before to know what's an easy day cleaning Windows,I've done the 20 + houses a day jobs that is not an easy day cleaning Windows,doing 6-7 jobs a day is it's full time money for part time hours if you so wish but if your greedy like me and can get it down to even less jobs than that it's happy days,people that are doing 25-30 jobs a week know I'm right.

theres pros and cons with cleaning 20-25 jobs a day versus 6 or 7 jobs a day.(luckily i have a mixture of both).

if you have a lot of smaller very compact jobs it doesnt hurt too much when you lose a couple here and there compared to losing a few bigger jobs and you tend to pick up more add ons from your existing customers,use less fuel,less wear and tear on the van and less reeling in/out.oh and more xmas tips and cups of coffee!

You're right !!
