Well done Jeff!
The only problem with threads like this is that someone somewhere will be sitting in an office reading this post thinking WOW - I can become a window cleaner and earn £200 per day! Thats £1000 per week! Thats double what I earn in my office job!
In reality its not like that at all. Don't get me wrong good money can be earnt if you are prepared to work hard for it, but being a window cleaner isn't all roses (although its the best move I ever made).

Hi Andy
Andy, I agree with what you say, but anyone who is sat in an office thinking you can earn £1000 a week, stop and find out how first.
MESSAGE to OFFICE WORKERSIts taken me 9 years of hard work to get were I am today, all hard work, scraping ice of windows and freezing my B***s off in the winter, if you can't cope with the winters and all the rainy day's, then I strongly recommend you stay in your nice warm office, 99% of the guy's on here have faced cold winters.
Also don't forget its not just a case of getting and cleaning windows, what about paying tax's,and accountants, what about getting all your insurance's, buying all your equipment, and if you go water fed, maintaning your equipment, buying spares, the list goes on and on, your running a business, not just picking up a wage at the end of the month.
Even Jago who is sat in his office now, isn't stupid enough, to give up a secure Job until he has enough accounts to to help him hand his notice in.
Its sounds to me his family come first, and thats the way it should be. (Well done Jago). anyone in a office take a leaf out of Jago's book and look into it first.
Jago will get all the advice he needs from his fellow WC.
I hope this has cleared up any thoughts to office workers that window cleaning is a bed of roses with lots of cash, work hard invest lots of cash and you may get there.
