If you have enough money put to one side to pay the bills for 3 or 4 months then give up your job and start consentrating on your new business.
I had a part time job and started window cleaning along side it.
Go out door knocking as i found this worked better than putting leaflets through doors. Alot of people on this site will tell you that.
I went door knocking and in about 3 months had enough work together to give up my part time job and start window cleaning for myself.
Never
undercut
on price but don't be put off because of other window cleaners. They very rarely have every single house in the street.
There's around 9+ w/c's in my area which put me off to start with but i still managed to get work and still am. If you do a good job then people will start talking and you will start getting work from recomendation.
I have got 4 new jobs today from people i have never met, called on just from recomendation.
I've even unintentionally taken work from a few w/c's because i offer a better service. And my price was higher.
Starting off is the hardest part, i still get times when i think no ones leaving messages on my answer m/c or i have had a few "No Thank You's" when i've knocked on doors.
But it will come together if you want it too and stick at it.
???If you are not to keen knocking on doors just try it. You will find after a few houses you will start to like it and when you get your first "
YES
" you will just want to keep knocking.
I'm not making Thousands but paying my bills. Plus i only work just over half the time i did in my part time job
, and i am earning more than i did
.
Only you can make it work, so if this is what you want to do go out there get it.
Good Luck and all the best for your future business
