Yes.
But you shouldn't do it.
You'll get to £6k. You'll want £7k.
You'll get to £7k. You'll want £8k.
You'll get to £8k and realise it's a lot less work to go back to selling drugs.
Don't focus on the money, Richy.
It's like drinking saltwater-you'll never be satisfied.
Focus on your quality of life. With your kids.
More money won't necessarily equal a better quality of life.
And all the money in the world won't buy you time.

In an ideal world yes. But whose situation is ideal. Does it rain up there ever? Don't you ever want time off? Are you ever ill? Is there the possibility you might go to prison?  ;D  will you van need to be in the garage for a day? Might you just not be up to knocking out £300 a day, alone, day after day after day. Including invoicing. Including pricing up new work. Including family life. Including CIU. Including parole?

I doubt it.  No doubt someone will come along and tell me they earn £6k a month single handedly.  ;)

Daz don't.
One fella has posted his earnings if £6kpm a few weeks ago.
It can definitely be done. 100%.

Is that the same answer to the same question though? I "think" Richy is not asking can you clean or earn 6k in a month, but he's asking can you keep that up?...Month after month...etc

You've only been out a week and you're off already Ritchy.

Last week it was "best way to earn £700 a week" and that's now jumped up to "is it possible to earn £6k per month".

Just stop dreaming and get out there cleaning your customers houses and you will see what's possible.

Fwiw without some ridiculously well priced commercial works I think the answer to your question is no.

I believe £6k in an individual month could be achieved - though I've never come remotely close.  As for repeating it every month, I suppopse it might be possible if ignoring the winter months if ALL the work was VERY well priced, no messers, no glitches. Personally, I prefer not to end up having artificial joints fitted to my body.  That may end up happening anyway but I don't see why I would want to encourage it.

Depending on where you live,how well priced and condensed work is
To earn £40 per hour over eight hours,on and off the glass,may prove testing.

i remember not so long ago richy you went out on your own window cleaning and you posted on here that you earned £163 in a day!albeit i think this was some of your lower priced work

£6,000 a month?personally i think you should set your sights lower and more realistic.

i dont think you ve got a hope in hell of earning this amount of money month in/month out on your own.i dont even think matt bateman/roy harding earn this much and they both have very good profitable rounds down south!!

i dont think you ve got the stomach for it richy truth be told.i dont think you could work on your own day in/day out/month in/month out/year in/year out.

in theory it all sounds great!but the reality is very different.


you ve got to be very self motivated in this game.even working in bad weather.i cant see you hacking it.

you may well prove me wrong!but i doubt it.


regards

price higher/work harder!
