[KS Cleaning]

Lee
Well done with the figures.
I think you've done a great job in building your business and I admire the fact that you have put your 'balls on the table' to achieve it.
Having spoken to you, I think you're motivated and have a lot to offer; anyone spending time with you will certainly benefit from your experience and knowledge. I actually think it's 'good value for money'.
However, in this particular instance, I don't think you have conducted yourself in a professional manner and that is a shame.

Ah I only do it to wind them up. 😉

Well it sure is backfiring then,  as you seem to be the one who is getting wound up

[p1w1]

The mods have changed my swearing.

Why don't you mod the small group of morons who only ever attack other members with nothing but negativity and personal insults. Why can't you see that those people put off many others. Absolutely every time I speak to people from here on the phone the point of idiots on here comes up. I know several people that won't get involved here anymore because of it.

Is all you moderate bad language!

Well f..k that. Now moderate me! 

It's about time this forum put a stop to a small minority acting in a way that drives many others away which ultimately leads to a worse forum.

I volunteer myself as a new moderator to deal with things other than swearing or moving/locking topics, which is all I see moderators do!!!

You could always create your own forum and run things as you like.

What an idiot!! LMAO

Lee ......you may be successful at expanding your window cleaning business, well done and long may it continue, hat off to you for determination and success. Ignore negative comments but don't let people wind you up so easily.
I'm not as successful growing my business as I'm slowly winding down now my mortgage is paid which I managed by myself and value my health as my priority over growing my business. I was successful in defying the doctors and specialists telling me I would never work again, would never have my independence or my health again but I proved them all wrong with sheer stubborn attitude, plenty of determination and positive mentality. Many people have different priorities in life, some is financially stability, others it's family and some it's health. We are all different and each to their own, whatever makes one happy.

I think lee has become the window cleaning equivalent of solar steve 😂😂😂😂😂 personally I wouldn’t want the associated hassles with that number of vans and employees let alone customers

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

I have to agree with Lee's last comment.
Very rarely comment on here now. Such a shame as this forum helped me out a lot when I first started out.
Share something that's not the 'norm' and you get shot at or put down.
I have been building my own little business up 'NORTH' and have ideas that would help a few out but are reluctant to share anything at all now.  I just read and spectate mostly as do a couple of other forum members  I know.

Anyway, well done Lee, anything is possible if you want it enough.

MODDED Now moderate me!

Lee, I suggest you take the evening off and calm down. Much of what you highlight as faults in other posters could well be highlighted by other posters towards you.

If you come on a forum - that is inhabited in the main by owner-operators  - putting up a thread which can be interpreted as smugly showing off a large sum of income and gloating at your own business prowess then you will - as you stated in a later post - "wind them up."

If you then continue to break the explicit rules of the forum then you lay yourself open to being moderated more heavily. If you have an explicit post to report then do so. If on reflection you are only receiving back a proportionate reaction to what you yourself post then maybe lead the way by conducting yourself on here as the professional business owner you undoubtedly are becoming.

If you believe you have the temperament to be a moderator then email admin and volunteer your services. I believe you are not yet ready for that role. Anyway - the pay isn't commensurate with the hassle that sometimes arises.

You are obviously doing very well in your business. You have no need to justify yourself on here as to its success.

Hello David, think I remember you posting in the past, shame you don't post anymore.
We all use to find it informative with others helping us with their posts when we first came on here many years ago 
I left the site for a while and when I came back on again I really noticed how few people actually bother to post any more and warned others if they sat on the fence not posting this site would disappear. Thankfully it's slowly getting better.
I get knocked down when I mention things like fitting bissell bars and using constructor brushes and people can't see the benefits of using over bristle rinse bars, that's their choice, I just try to help them see the light but all they see is costs 
I am open minded and try different things, some work and some don't but unless I'm willing to try new things I will never improve  myself and the way i work. Change is necessary sometimes but only if you're not afraid to embrace it.
Wish others who sit on the fence would take the time to share there ideas and thoughts with us all and make this site really interesting again.

Don't be stupid... or naive! Lee created this thread for the sole purpose of having the regular half dozen rectum lickers blow smoke up his ar*se... end of.

As soon as he gets any stick he then loves to play the victim- where the said regular lickers massage his enormous ego even more.

Anyone would think this moron is Alan Sugar the way he rattles on! How many times can you congratulate the same thing over and over and over? He's evidently no use to anyone here unless you're willing to cross his greedy palms with 500 smackers!

Nobody needs a translator to read what I'm saying.

I wouldn't pay £500 + VAT to get told to sod off, you can get that sort of business advice off Gordon Ramsey for free.

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

I don't think Lee needs to come on here at all, but i think he has every right to come on and brag and really show what he's achieved as a way sticking the middle finger up at all those who give him a hard time,  especially the ones who shot him down before he had even took off, so to speak.

Yeah, great advice, just what this forum needs- someone to keep telling us all how great he is and how much money he's making..... again and again and again....

Never judge a man by his wealth- the world is full of wealthy idiots!👍

[Green Scene]

Nobody needs a translator to read what I'm saying. I said in 2 recent threads that I don't have the best spelling but MODDED me some people here literally can't string a sentence. Frankly it's shocking!

MOD NOTE: No more swearing please. This and previous posts modded.

Most of us would have guessed that and not made any derogatory comments about your spelling. Unfortunately if you don't tell Lee how great he is, he tends to be very arrogant and aloof, so despite your dyslexia you are seen as fair game to him.

Yes, I found this off putting too.  It wasn't the only reason I stayed away from here for quite a while, but it was a significant part of it.

Hi Lee

How do your prices for window cleaning compare to the other window cleaners in the area?  Are you on average cheaper or dearer?

Do you still find you get undercut?

I've read it in a few articles that for low skilled work customers usually care mostly about price over quality.

Thanks

Cheaper.

There was another thread where he mentioned his profit, and even he conceded it wasn't actually that good in relation to the turnover, it's about getting more and more customers, so you would need to be cheaper to constantly have to fill up the rounds, which costs money.

The fact the business couldn't finance the growth says it all really.

As with anything the reality is different to the theory.

Well we will be able to see what his profits are going to be when he files his accounts at companies house.
