What was i saying about oneupmanship & wannabe Alan sugars

Just remember to sit back & laugh

One things for sure, wfp is certainley guilty of creating a frenzy of over-hyped window cleaners. geeeez, give some a wfp & you'd be forgiven for thinking they had just returned from a 10 year degree in "transluscent weather protection hygene solutions"
 

P.S. think Sir Alan would be wetting himself by now!

Sir Macmac, your certainly right about the laughing bit - most people don't choose a career in vertical glazing maintenance programmes for the thrill of business techniques. Most are forced into it through redundancy and so having no other skills choose windowcleaning for the very reason that it's soooo simple. A few choose it for the free time it offers but for most it's the only viable means to earn a living pretty sharpish with NO training whatsoever!
 Must go now, i'm working on my business plan - i have a meeting with my fellow directors any minute now (well when eastenders finishes). Then i must see about sorting out my NVQ plans for my eight year old apprentice (it's going to take at least five years of studying to get her through the stringent rules and regulations of applying water to glass).

Catch you later

Why do my feet get wet?

[L.J.Thorpe]

because you stand too close to the window
because you wear sandals
because your incontinence pants burst

Ewan, you are just a windowcleaner - you don't seem to get it. I'm hardly threatened by anyone coming into the industry. I'm in it because it's so easy and i can make good money - what are you in it for?
Find me an easier job/business for the same money.

I'm sure everybody on this forum has something to say otherwise they would not be here.

We can give or accept advice, put up with a bit of jovial banter and I certainly enjoy the lightheartedness and sense of fun of many of the members.

There are many reasons why people become window cleaners and it takes all types which is why the posts are often varied.

I have met many "driven" people in my business life and without doubt they have always been the unhappiest.



I apologise to everyone for helping to steer away from the original topic but it is unfortunately  often the case on forums. My references to money were unforgiveable also.

Have a good day everyone.

First, what you refere to as business, drive, desire, expansion etc, most see this as common sense. that's why it's humour to some of us

What's even funnier is when someone tries to front themselves as being more intelligent than in reality, (which is very easy spot after a few posts) However, you may be good enough to enter discounts top ten of "business savvy elite posters"

I personaly like you, but only because you remind me how good i am

As for the apprentice, i watch only to remind me how happy i am

Sir Macmac the great

I accept what some of the posters have said on this thread as it applies to me(they don't like me or my ilke) but I am unrepentant. I love the business posts on this forum. I don't care if you think I pretend to be something I'm not.

I have lots of ideas, very often about how other peoples businesses should be run, such as ww(strategy) or Jeff(van) lj(barrels), and I suppose thats where resentment starts, when you begin to tell others how to conduct themselves.

Sorry.

[Clive McDonald]

So what is your story then Ewan?
I think it was your mentioning your dad that piqued my interest. A brief honest outline will do, no need to reveal anything to personal.

My life didn't start untill I was 35 and in a right mess.

[Clive McDonald]

So you had a job or jobs since the eighties untill last year. Presumably had there been a site like this years ago you still wouldn't have made the leap, so what pushed you back to wc and what were your first few weeks like. Did those around you encourage you? Did you think you'd made a mistake?

Your dad didn't retire from wc? is he still fit enought to help? would he help?
