For me I never went in half ar*ed to commercial. I sold the window cleaning round and jumped in with both feet, with no fallback.
That was a mistake, there are a lot of times I wish I had some cash coming into the business, it would certainly make the 'waiting' for the bigger payments easier.
I am going back to the domestic market and will carry on doing what we do and developing it but with the knowledge gained and the CV we have I can market that into 'high end' domestic work.
I've got MacBlast Uk now and that has only come about because of the rewards of the commercial works, reinvested.
Please don't think that it is a breeze and it has been easy because that is not the case. When I first started cleaning windows, back in 2001 a farmer said to me 'you get nowt, for nowt' - a very small phrase from a man that probably did and still does work 365 days per year but he has a brand new tractor, two big houses and a lifestyle from it. There's no money in farming though!!
If you are talking about getting in at Reece's level you will eat, sleep and breathe it, it will be the hardest thing you have ever done and it will stress your head off. Is it worth it - yes.
Ask the other people on here, Darren @ Purple Rhino, Trevor Perry (Trevor had/has a large business, employing a lot of people), it is a nightmare.
I hope you achieve your aspirations but keep all the balls in the air, if you can!
