We'll done vin.
I work all day every day and av never turned over that much in a year, one day al hit that quarter of a million mark tho ........ One day, just not yet tho
If you posted saying u was looking for work and struggling for money more people would be sympathetic with there posts. It just seems that if post suton wanting to share your good experience and let others who are interested know how things are goin, it turns a lot of peoples eyes green .......
Keep goin vin
That's not the case at all.
I couldn't care less about how well others are doing and I certainly don't get envious.
Let's face it, once you get your business off the ground its very easy to go large, just about everyone here could do it if they wanted.
I'm absolutely full to the brim with work. How much money and time have I invested in advertising my business in the last 2 years....£0.
Yet I continually gain new work through recommendation and being seen.
Hire some canvassers, spend some money on advertising, accounting etc, doesn't take that much of an IQ or hard work to really grow a window cleaning business further. Most people just choose not to, for whatever reason.
I think the thing that annoys some, myself included, about these type of posts is that the people that write them tend to only talk about themselves and how well they are doing, and come across as very vain and arrogant.
The phrase, 'know one likes a showoff' creeps to mind.
Yet if you look back at these peoples posts, once upon time they were asking for help, offering others help where they could and seemingly normal, friendly guys.
As there business has grown, they seem to have become narcissistic, offering little help or advice to others anymore and only posting about 'themselves' and how well they are doing, whilst seemingly perched on their golden throne looking down at the rest of us.
I have a record day planned this Sunday, £600 job booked in which will take me 1 day on my own. (Seriously)
Maybe I should start a post about it, take some pictures, write my own window cleaning book named 'a fools guide to picking up easy overpriced work'.
But really, does anyone really care about MY business? Will anyone buy my book?
No on both counts me thinks.
