Maybe there's  plenty of work in Nottingham because the miners there never went on strike.

70k in 4 years. I wouldn't have thought possible starting from 0. Unless you bought a round. you must have picked a good area

It's only me who holds me back

Not sure there mate, I got to 3.5k in my first two years from 0. I found it started to snowball from 2.5k onwards, especially if you have a good online presence. I'd be surprised if he wasn't at 5.5k by year 3! You'll be surprised what consistent daily organised effort can achieve!

Have you held yourself back or have others told you your not doing as well a you should be ? we all live in our own little worlds and should make judgements on what we see going on in them, not what happening in somebody else's  little world.

Sorry, maybe I should have quoted it.
Much like  "my glass is half empty"  that you seem to portray.

Mate I challenge show offs and arrogant sods who think they're better than everybody else, what's half empty about that ?
I wasn't judging the op I haven't mentioned him just replying to your post of holding yourself back which funny enough sounds
very glass half empty.

Assuming it's arrogance and they're showing off is glass half empty in itself.

When I first came on to CIU I used to see quite a few posts of that nature whereby peeps would post what they'd managed to  achieve in their working lives, I admired that.

It also made me wonder how do you go about getting work like that. I never for one minute thought they were being arrogant. It encouraged me. You've got the cart before the horse Sean. If you want to think of me as arrogant or whatever I'm fine with that, I doubt everyone does, in which case keep challenging, it says more about you than me.

As for where you live, it is Northern Ireland isn't it?

You're a boring braggart that likes nothing more than to exploit any opportunity to keep showing photos of your Two big houses and your Transit van! You jump on any thread which allows you to make silly, blase comments and belittle others in the process. Like someone else commented a week or two ago- you come across as a bit of a ****!
It's boring and tedious, we've seen you all on here over the years, give it a rest child! You're a shiner who's got a few decent jobs, end of you clown! ::)roll

Mate I don't consider somebody coming on here explaining how they built their business or even how they achieved top dollar prices as arrogant, that's said there's a fine line in being helpful and just plain blowing your own horn/showing off.
Now when they start harping on about being able to do it anywhere and dismiss the experiences of others working in those
areas as nonsense then I call that arrogance.
Wont be saying where I live as its too easy to rub some people up the wrong way and the last thing you need are enemies in the workplace.

But you don't work in the North of England Sean.

No one said they could replicate what they'd achieved anywhere in the country. Personally I said this is what I did, try it yourself if you can't build a round. Because it worked for me. That's not arrogance in my eyes but it is in yours. To me that's passing on experience.

It would be hard to avoid making enemies wherever you go I'd think.  ;D

Seriously if that's all that was said then I don't think it would have went further as its good advice through and through,
but who said what and why will only have us going round in circles, I suppose it shows one thing, we are all passionate about
what we have achieved big or small and are quick to defend it.

I'm not; it's rubbish and you can have it if you want.
But I've never- and never will- crossed a picket line or robbed from the rich and gave it to the poor.

How many regular window cleaning customers do you have and what's your average price?

If I was going to sell my business I would set the price at x 1.5 of the yearly turnover and negotiate from there...

I might have my maths all wrong, but if you have £70,000 per year but lets say that would break down easily to 12 months of £5000.00 ( I know it's more but allow for not 4 weekly jobs) that's 12 lots of rounds that should easily sell for £10,000 to £12,000 per lot. That could  bring you in up to £140,000.00 for the work only.
I think the problem trying to sell as one lot is finding somebody to pay a substantial amount of money in one lot.
