I don't know about lack of confidence but I do get the feeling that a lot of shiners are embarrassed by how they earn a
living, you just need to look at all the bragging about earnings you get on here which is something you wouldn't get as much of in
other professions.

I think discussing pricing is one thing but most would never divulge what they actually earn (gross turnover) as is none of anyone’s business especially on an open forum like this surely.

Got some of my dad's old vinyls out and stayed in bed all day.

Was brilliant.

I think she has a point. Whether it's unique to this industry though is debatable. There seems to be a lot of shiners that are JWs and for some reason quite a few recovering alkies. I think Tosh is a recovering alkie who is also a JW so maybe he's who Katy is referring to. He does like attention, perhaps he has confidence issues.


I do find it odd that someone who apparently wants to build a business and strive out in the world of self-employment can't knock on a door to sell themselves.

Tosh is not a jw.

I'm not sure, he does spend a lot of time reading and quoting from The Watchtower. ;D

I was not referring at all to Tosh, I dont know the chap.

I was merely observing that through the business, there is alot of lack of confidence when going on appointments, that was all, and a chap above made a very good point, you have to have a different hat on at all times.  That was all really.  Anything I have read of Tosh is always articulate

Only joking!
The guys who do good in the window cleaning business are the ones who are confident and can carry out all tasks associated with it!
If you can canvass, clean, book commercial appointments, impress at your appointments and retain work then your onto a winner!
Without confidence then you can still do well just you will always be behind the guys with the added confidence!
Its no big issue either way! Depends what path each individual wants to take.
