OCS have a turnover of £650+ million, and they started out as window cleaners.

So if you want a target to set as a goal, try £651+ Million.

Very true, but they did start out just as a window cleaner.

Who, in their right mind would post in here what they have for a turnover and profit? What would that prove? I can invent anything. One or two on here do exactly that. Most of the posters are actually window cleaners, one or two aren't, so where do we start?

Which business on this forum turnsover the most profit?
Which business on this forum returns the highest profit?

By comparing results you can benchmark your company on the forum and set yourself the goal of being no1.
I think you should do this every month that way you can compare your businesses growth and whoever is growing the most can give advice on the subject this way you dont have to pay them extortionate fees to attend the marketing courses and wasting both time and money

The earnings posts on here seem to have stopped since the recession got started properly.  That's not coincidence I'm sure.
I'll just say that I earn far more than I ever did as an employee but I have more aggro to achieve that.  That's all anyone needs to know really.  The rest is between me, the IR, and my accountant.

My view onthis was that it set your business a benchmark on the window cleaning market so we had a goal or milestone to achieve. Also we could improve communication on marketing strategy etc saving you all going to these expensive marketing courses when you can ask on here

[Clive McDonald]

You are being too modest dave, given that he doesn't actually mean the biggest, but a driven individual who is an active forum member and has grown his business and this could be said to be a bit of an example to the rest of us, then probably you are number one.

However a lot of this success seems to be down to you and Mr's Dave's networking skills, that not all of us have the personality to  copy this.

[R W C]

I think it could be   lwc   windowwashers or jv price

lol I bet matt and ian would love to be compared to charlie of j.v.price,

Being No 1 is rather dependant on what you want from your business.
I work hard 3 or 4 days a week, and make enough for what I need/want. I could work more hours and make more, but I choose not to.
I have 3 young children and they see a lot of me, not like in my old job where I used to get in at 6-6.30 after a twelve hour day, and feel too tired to spend time with my oldest.

For many window cleaning provides a good income with a reasonable amount of work.
I could make a good deal of money but you cannot buy back time.
And as someone said at a funeral I went to recently 'There are no pockets in a shroud'
Cheerful thought I know but very true.

I used to earn so much I had to employ someone to count my money for me .

I now earn twice as much and his wife works for me too, again counting my money .

Fortunately I don't need to employ anyone to spend my money for I am a married father of four and grandfather of two and they spend it for me .

On paper I am a millionaire .

That's as far as I'm going to go I'm afraid

You seem to have found the strategy thats made you both wealthy and happy so good luck to you. However you have brought up another issue of Time vs Money. Like sparklebright said that time with his family is just as important to him has earning money but what i would say for him to expand and generate more money would be to employ staff. This way he can be flexable and spend time with the family and continue to increase his income further. If he doesnt want to do payroll let them work self employed so they can invoice you for their wages instead and save on the paperwork. The hardest part of this would be trusting them to do the job correctly and be honest and trustworthy. Once this boundry is cracked the potential of the business has no limits.

wish it was as easy as that

[mark dew]

There are plenty on here who earn much more than me. But i have found a niche for what i want out of my life at the moment. And don't envy anyone.
I think that makes me number 1.
Happy days!!! Toot toot. 

[windowswashed]

If you have a happy balance between spending quality time with your family and working enough to pay the bills, whilst putting away for a rainy day, you'll be number one in everyones eyes.
