What are you getting at Dan?

Between myself a guy called laurie and another guy called jamie we have covered every lidl from the furthest point in north wales, all through shropshire, stoke, cheshire, lancs, all of yorkshire, some of cumbria, some of lincolnshire and nearly up to newcastle up until recently on a weekly basis for nearly the last 3 years,

Dont know who you know but if his name isnt jamie or laurie then he hasnt been on any of our stores recently,

Dean

the name Jamie rings a bell I think. Is he still around?

The jobs were subbed out, but then they stopped. I was told one story of why they stopped but I reckon there was another reason, which is what I'm trying to get to. Just me , investigating.

Earn the same money on your own doorstep if not more i would think,though to some i suppose it sounds almost glamourous to say to others you`ve been halfway round the country to clean a few windows. ::)

If it pays and pays well, its worth doing no matter where.

Though i like my own bed, so stopping out wouldnt take my fancy
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

A tip

Never limit your business, if the jobs pay do them.

We used to only do work in a £30 mile radius of the office and we got to a point and the business stopped growing, and over the years the compertition started growing in the area, now we cover the whole of the UK and have just started our first project in Dubia and have completed one in Qatar.

Just make sure all the jobs pay

Why dont you just sub the work out. Make yourself £100-150 a day for doing jacksie effectively. You can then go out do £200 a day locally yourself and be rolling in it without having to do your 4am starts and a £75 tank of fuel.

That to me is far better business sense.

I would have thought that would warrant a 'happy days  ;)  ;) '

 thanks for that advice, do you find it easy enough to get staff willing to travel large distances or do you start local lads.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

This type of work suits about 1 in 200 WC`s and is not worth it if you have the work on your doorstep or within 1/2 an hours drive,i`ll stick with what i do it works for me once you get to a certain level in this job you have to choose whether you want-need the hassel of driving miles to earn no more when you add it all up and i`m not just talking money.A bit like some of those on Dragons Den they turnover 250-300k and net about 30-50 lol. ;D ;D ;D

Work hard for your business to start with then your business will work hard for you in the long run,

I got very bored on the domestics, Ive been cleaning houses for the majority of my window cleaning career and the change to commercial is very exciting, even in a recesion,

How many posts have you seen on here about wc's asking each other how to stay motivated? Quite a few.

On the commercial work, especially on a big job theres no time to be bored.

If what you are doing is good for you then crack on and enjoy it.

We were helping somebody else Dai,

There were 2 people from our 3 there for 2 days plus the other company had 2 people there for 3 days so it is a big place,

We also did that private school in colwyn bay with them the week before Rydal Penrhos, ever heard of it?

That is a massive place.
