Last week I had "one of those weeks"... You know the ones where you just cannot motivate yourself to go and clean windows 

I'm feeling a bit better about the coming week... Lots of catching up to do, because I had 2 days off last week (because of lack of motivation)!

How do you guys motivate yourself?

I also find it hard, I remember some one on here saying I work to live , not live to work , so now when I think I have earnt enough I go home. Theres always another day

I'm at my worst if I get a bad phone call. I used to like plyforms posts about this, I could always think to myself there is always someone worse off than me.

What happened to him?

Thats weird..


i had one of those weeks last week just could not motivte myself. i think the shock of the sudden colder weather doesnt help either

I suppose it depends how you came about what you do now, as i'm guessing the reason you started is the reason to carry on.

Wait until you go out in the morning and its dark,and  when you finish at night its dark at 4 o clock

I set myself targets regarding earnings,i always push myself to stick to it or go beyong it each and every week-month.I go at it mon-tue-wed and see where i`m at then,how i`ve done on those first few days determine what i`m doing for the remainding 2.You have to set targets otherwise it`s easy to get lazy.

[Majestic]

I know what you meen I sometimes think to myself its a nice day today but tomorrow it could be to bad to work

[matt]

as you might remmber, i was VERY VERY close to packing it in, if i had been wroking for some1 else i would have packed in then, it was only the cold hard thought of the effort ive put into this biz ( and i have put a little in ) that made me think on a little

Oh and ive decided on my next holiday, that'll keep me motivated

[NWH]

That`s a good way of keeping going aswell,take a break every 4-5 months.

Im sat at home now after having a week off in corfu .

1st day back and it aint stoopped raining.

I get in a foul mood when its like this and it does get you down.

I think that targets must be the best way of motivation but dont set unrealistic targets as this will just make you feel bad for not hitting it.

If you work alone, make an appointment with a customer for your first clean or try and get a daily commercial job to do every morning.

That way you'll get into a routine and you know that if you don't go, you risk losing the job.

I can see I'm going to struggle this week.

I've got about £10 done and it's rained all day.
Had 3 people say "no thanks, it's wet", then I gave up.
I've also lost another 2 houses because of wfp.

Just fed up.

[Davew]

I've done a grand total of............0 today! Which means I have shed loads tomorrow so my new pole will probably be melting by the afternoon. 

[Village Gleam]

I get complaints Squeaks, and people drop me but I blame myself not WFP.

You've got a great business. When you realise this things will get better.

I admire you for trying to clean in the rain, get some more affluent customers.

[NWH]

Squeaky your losing custies by the lorry load,soon you`ll have all the kit but in the S***,LOL.

[Davew]

Then they will be effluent customers.
