lucky and grateful are 2 words that spring to mind when i get up in the morning.loads of people have no jobs,no money or work for min wage in real dead end jobs.friends dying of drink and drug abuse in their mid forties after losing everything,job,wife,family,friends,hospital admissions,jail and finally death.

count your blessings,youll be happier for it.earning 40k+ a year for a low stress job like window cleaning working 25-30 hours a week is beyond any of my dreams/aspirations i had when i started window cleaning.at the time i just needed to earn some money so i could get another packet of cigs and a bottle of brandy.

What a fantastic attitude.
The question is though for us who are naturally pessimistic how do you change your  mindset to optimistic.

Its true that everything around us is dictated by our thoughts. If we think life is great it is, of we think it's a chore it is.

Reminds me of a quote "nothing is inherently good or bad but thinking makes it so"

Don’t feed the negativity.

if you really hate window cleaning then you need to get out now and do something else.its not for everyone. a big chunk of your life is spent working.ive made window cleaning more profitable for me over the last few years through refining work and charging more/price rises etc which helps with motivation.being very organised also helps.

discipline,tenacity and perseverance are essential IMO.

Drove up the road, forgot the battery! Back to the house chucked the pole on top of the tank, fitted the battery and drove up the hill and a car starts blasting it's horn.... Pole fell of the pickup! Great start.

Reminds me of 2 tales.
The first, i had a phone call whilst loading car up when i used to be on trad tools. Put ladders on roof bars and took the call. Finished on phone n drove home, slowly navigating streets untill on dual carriage way and put foot down. Noticed ladders sliding and panicked, foot straight on brakes and ladders shot off down dual carriage way. Thankfully no cars in front and none behind,,,,i was extremely lucky!!

The 2nd i did some night guarding  on a building site about 4yrs back. So finished day of windows and went collecting. Afterwards home until i had to set off at 9pm. Put my steel cap boots on top of car whilst sorting some stuff out.....
Got to the gates to sign in and the people on gates just broke out laughing. I had travelled 10m on motorway and arrived with my boots still on top of the roof 😂😂

Regards not being good at mornings.... On exercise near ATR Pirbright (many moons ago) I was cooking my breakfast at some ridiculous time in the morning and left my rifle next to the burner. When I noticed the rifle magazine was fecking roasting, I and twenty others were lucky that morning as we ALL would have got a roasting up and down the many hills if it had popped.

It was chucking down with rain this morning, so we were in the gym for 9.30 am.  I did some weights, put on a talking book, and spent an hour on the treadmill, and thrashed myself.

Then it was down to Weatherspoons for a large breakfast.

I love being a window cleaner.
