If I was you I would sit on the fence and watch how this drought situation is going to work out first in the south.

Unfortunately you need to work harder for longer before you can reap the reward.
A lot depends on if you have any savings/money stashed away as you will probably need a financial back up if you leave buses now.
I would keep plugging away with canvassing set yourself a target of say a certain number of customers per week, say 20 for example. Explain to people you going to be round within a month and keep going hardcore dont stop, otherwise you'll never have enough customers to leave buses. That way if you know you need a 200 customers at £10 you can see the point you are going to get out of the job you hate.

If you do have some savings i would quit buses now and go canvassing hardcore everyday you will soon have a decent number of customers, in 2 weeks you could have 100/150 customers if you had enough time to get them. I wouldnt clean new customers straight away, give yourself 2 weeks of canvassing then you can sort everyone out into an order and then get cleaning. But you will need some money behind you as you wont be earning for the 2 weeks while canvassing.

Good luck

IMO the only way your going to be able to build a round is if you go part time bus driving then use every min of time off canvassing/leafleting.

60 hours a week for £325?sheeesh!!thats awful!i usually work 25-30 hours a week "on the glass" and earn much more although ive been window cleaning for many years.

have you ever had your own business before?lots to think about,self assessment tax returns,no holiday or sick pay,etc.you need to have self motivation and drive too.

this job can get boring at times and winter can be hard for some of us.i dont blame you for not wanting to work 60 hours a week for a pittance.you better make your mind up before you get bitter and twisted!!

everytime i worked for someone else i worked really hard and never got any recognition for my efforts so i used to lose it and tell them to f**k off after a while.resentment used to build up over the course of a few months then id snap!!! .

go part time bus driving and make it happen.


best wishes

Worked it out that I can survive on £250 per wk that's all I'd need to earn window cleaning thinking should be fairly easy to get that if go out door knocking everyday?

[steven ainger]

You may be able to get working tax credits to help you out initially.

I'm getting very bad panic attacks driving buses as I think the stress of it and its no good having them and feeling faint when you have a bus load of people maybe I can get signed off for it...? Maybe I wld be able to get a tax credit to help while I build my work up...due to I can't do my day job as getting dangeruss?

[Dean payne]

i need to earn £250 per week to survive cant be that hard to get that failry quickly at window cleaning ?

[magic moments]

If its as bad on the buses as you say,then stop messing on the forum and get out cleaning ,sounds like the choice is made for you.

Want some advice go see your doctor say your nerves from the stress of work and long hours.Act like jabbering fool. Then BUILD YOUR ROUND IN THIS TIME.GO BACK TO WORK AND REDUCE HOUR AND BUILD UP YOUR BUSINESS.
not the best advice but it could work.

Are you serious ?  :

he probably is :-[hate folk that think like that, there is a member on here who built his round while being on the sick and he got a payout as well, compensation claim, I won't name names though, he could't see he was doing anything wrong

Just shows who employs and who doesn't
