Well, if that's what you want, I think you're absolutely right.  Pretty much anyone can do £6k per month.

As far as i understand having commercial work you can do for example between the hours of say..5am to 9 am Daily would give you a financial advantage over someone who "just" does domestics. And perhaps having work you can do later than 4/5pm . Not that i could do it but i have the theory of how its done!! (i think !)

If you're just looking for someone to co-sign your bullpoo, if you ask enough people, someone will do it for you.

ive asked a perfectly fine question to get peoples opinions so i dont know why ya all trying to have a go at me saying im bullpoo etc, ive taken on the advice and said i will more than likely take on a part time helper see how things go or sell some of the work, i just didnt want distractions of having employees when i startup again

Yes 6k in a month is possible , but 6k per month for 12 months is a long shot

The ones where it aint poured down with rain, snowed under or 80 mph winds. Months you don't go on holiday, don't get sick or chat to custys for long periods

Course it's possible. Then you can post pictures of your car, van, house etc

I've read some of your posts over the last couple of years and all you seem to do is ask questions that you should already know the answers to, after all you seem to have tried every way of doing things.

I'm sure a lot of us feel you should have learned something by your efforts but you still seem to ask some strange questions. Is it through boredom or are you just seeing how many people you can wind up on the forum?

If you already have enough work for 6k per month, weed out any problem/underpriced customers and have a stress free, good business by yourself.

Bear in mind that you may need to do a steady canvass/advertising to replace customers that desert you once they realise your recent past. There may be some local competition that try to use this to their advantage.

Be happy and thankful for what you have and concentrate on doing the work/planning instead of reworking the same questions on here.

Can't fault you for trying but please stop trying to re-invent the wheel.

as ive not been a sole trader working on my own for prob 4-5 years i thought it was quite a valid question to ask other sole traders as its a forum to ask questions not trying to reinvent any wheel just wanted some opinions, there wasnt much thought to my question when i wrote it i was messing round with cash flow forecast and i thought id sound a figure out with other window cleaners, everyone takes my questions sometimes on here too seriously i just do it to guage opinions off people then make a decision

We all have different capabilities, goals, etc. I personally couldn't get anywhere near 6 grand a month. I am the wrong side of 50, OCD-ish, therefore too slow to catch a cold, and am simply out to make a living, not a fortune. I work within my own personal limitations and can live with that.

However, Richie, if it can be done, and I am sure there are some guys out there who can, it doesn't really matter. What others can do, you may not be able to do, and vice versa.

If you want to go out and do it, then go for it. You won't know unless you try.

Best wishes,
John
