Seank whats your average price per clean you have???

What difference will it make to anybody by knowing my average price ?

[Sean Dyer]

Two of my rounds have an average price of between £7.50 and £10
I start after dropping little un off at school - so ten ish
and never very often finish later than 5  , and usually have dinner

I do £300 a day on it , average price means nothing .

Your average price could be £20 but each house takes an hour

I dont doubt the lads doing £400 a day , i just think alot of them must be fortunate. I work all over greater manchester from oldham to alderley edge , and to get enough work in one area compact enough and priced well enough to do those figures is difficult.

To have enough work to do it day in and out is very fortunate , im working on it , but at the moment im only half full, thats after doing this for 7 years , so my day rate is good but i run out of work, this week i only have two days work and a couple of hours today on commercial ...

But i havent been canvassing like i should !

Be happy in your life, create your round to suite what you desire personally, not what someone else thinks it should be, that is what is important! Don't be foolish enough to think big numbers are the be all & end all. Take 99% of posts on CIU with a pinch of salt wherever money is the topic, I've lost count of the "millionaires" & "Alan Sugars" on here in the 9 years I've been using it!  

Follow the above & you'll not go far wrong!

Very true mate

I got into window cleaning when i was younger so i could get shut of the fulltime work and spend time on my hobbies , now i have a family it allows me to do the school runs and allow the missus to not work , although now she helps me a few days a week , and it allows me to earn us a good living , and im comfortable now , and still have space in my schedule to double my turnover

We'll never be millionaires , but its given us a life we are all very happy with

You should know degree if your close to the limit!! im guessing you have an accountant so ask him or her!.
For me its been fine apart from my surcharge threat where i didnt have the full funds twice after eachother from buying a car i shouldnt have bought at the time!
Just  make sure you have your vat money always as they realy hate late payments. Im spot on now with it all but as said your accountant who should have spoke to you about it by now if your near the limit will tell you all you need.

You're already a very wealthy man & have more than many.

I've often thought if money made you happy then rich people wouldn't commit suicide

Public toilets don't bother me.. Its when you go out the cubicle and someone is waiting to go in after you and you look at them with such a guilty face which says 'I'm really sorry about what I've left in there..'

A glory hole?

haha

one of the toilets i use in an asda on the rough side of Manchester , the cubicles have so many holes in the partitions that theyve bolted sheets of metal to each side, so i can only wonder wtf was going on !!

lolol well funny

[PoleKing]

My highest earning day (singular) is a commercial job.
On average though, I make my money on residential.

The lads saying £x CANT be done a day/year should probably change the text slightly to I CANT do £x a year.
I'd imagine the lads making the most money reading this thread haven't posted on it.

Wrong, they have.


This is good advice: rather than criticise the lads who earn more than you (whether you believe them or not) try and learn from them.
That's what the forum is for (well part of it)
Since I've learned from some of the bigger boys on here I've made decisions that I wouldn't even have dreamed of before.
All to the benefit of my business.

This is better advice: instead of listening to the guys that have that little self worth that they need to justify themselves
by boasting about money, why not listen to the guys who go out there every day and build successful businesses by
doing things like employing, dealing with competition and the many other things that come up when running any
business.
Its the guys who cant get £20 for ten minutes work but have built successful businesses that I want to listen to
and learn from.
