« on: June 30, 2007, 10:46:01 am »
Well it's taken me 15 months of hard work and from today i'm full time selfemployed. Thanks to many people on this site i make the same amount of money in 2 days as i did all week for someone else. ;D
I went straight in with water fed pole and soon as i got the hang of it no looking back.

Well done welcome to the club.

You will get out of windowcleaning what you put into it.

Commercial is good as you can do it before they get there and also doesn't matter if it's raining.

My round at the moment is 95% commercial and i've finished before others start usually.

Leaving your comfort zone can take a bit of doing.  Unemployment pushed me into window cleaning so mine was a "backs to the wall" decision.
Well done.

Good on yer! I'll be doing same thing the end of this month. At the moment I work 4 days a week & 1 day doing WFP. I 1 day I earn more than what I earn working the rest of the 4 other days that I work. So I've decided to take the plunge too.
