We need about 1500 more houses on the round to reach the goal. I hope to have 400 of those by the end of September. Then we will stop marketing and save the money needed to start again in April. I hope to have the remaining customers by July next year. Our monthly turnover will top out at about £65K a month at that level.

Then I will have a rest for a few years and buy a new house!

It's only 20.83 per month, per customer. Child's play  :P

Just kidding, what awesome figures you're hitting Lee. I think you'll deserve the rest when it comes.

Hey lee, where did you come from??

As in ..... how did you start off? In the window cleaning biz l mean.

My background was sales and marketing. I worked for the dail mail media group. I was made redundant in a January from there one year. I had wanted to start my own business but didn't know what or how to. My girlfriend at the time and I went to see her parents and I overheard them talking in the kitchen about getting a window cleaner and how hard it was to find one. I had a lightbulb moment and the very next day went and bought trad gear, roof rack, ladder ect. I made my own leaflet as shown in my recent video. I tought myself the skills, knocked doors and delivered my leaflets.

I had never had a manual job or worked outside, I had a corporate background. I just made it up as I went along.

I loved the freedom right from the start. I also loved being a one man band especially when after 2 years of trad I got my first van and system. I just never stopped wanting to push forward and grow.

Hard work and continued investment of litterally hundreds of thousands of pounds.

I found a business model that works very well and I throw every spare bit of money at it and watch it grow.

I wasnt put off by the challenges along the way and I have a clear vision of what my goals are.

Lee, as much as I dislike these threads of yours, and your general desire to seek "attention" for your achievements, I do however admire your pure grit and determination to keep pushing the boundaries and turning your dreams into reality.
I know I could do what you have done if I put my heart to it, the ideas are there in my head, but my heart isn't in it.
Sometimes I dream big, but when I put life into context I often imagine what the last things I would think of when I'm lying on my deaf bed. It isn't material things, how nice my van was, how big my house was, how much money I had in the bank...
In a way iv already achieved my dreams and I'm happy just to keep living them until the day I day.
I could live under a hard rock and run around in a Fred Flintstone stone van for all I care, as long I have my family ( including dog ), we have our health and continue making happy memories until the very end. That's what I will remember.

Well done for making your own dreams come true, just please can we stop hearing about it. All the bum licking, especially from scrimble, is becoming cringeworthy.
There are plenty of other things to chat about on the forum. I'm sure there is a brush thread somewhere you could get involved in ;D

Whatever those thoughts are, don't verbalise them, cos the bed won't be listening.

Sorry Chris but I think its an open forum where people can talk about what they like. If you dont like me or my threads then simply dont read them or get involved. Problem solved.

I could ask you to stop saying "Icould do that if I wanted but I dont want to" you seem to say that on every thread. I think its really a silly thing to say and actually serves to prove that in fact you cant do it. Once again im wrong for wanting different things in life than someone else. There are way more to my goals than houses or cars. Like freedom of time. While your out cleaning I could be traveling the world or spending more time with the people I care about. Try to see past your narrow point of view on me please.

Rather than all this just dont involved mate. Stick to threads you like. Simple

To be honest I don't open threads about brushes and solar panels because they aren't interesting. Surely you could make the same choice?

I think what Lee is doing is great. I mentioned it on another thread but I see what he is doing and it's simplicity is genius.

Im hoping to follow suit although Im not actually sure yet how big I want to grow to achieve my goal.

And thats what it boils down to what is your goal.

My goal is to earn enough money to live the life I want. Which is freedom of time, travelling and holidays etc but with the added bonus of earning somewhat passive income in the background. Having a business that works when you don't so someone else is paying for my holidays and my house with their hard graft.

Personally I love reading these threads as I have the same mentality. I can see why others that enjoy being solo earning a decent amount in exchange for their time don't get it but it's each to their own.

Its amazing what drives people to comment, especially when they say they dont like your posts (yours being anybodys) and yet they actively read and take part in the thread and then when they do participate its either in your face insulting or its a back handed swing.
"I like your grit but my goals are family life"  as if your goals are less important or doesnt involve that as well.
Lying on dead bed waiting, im sure everyone wants the same......extra time for what trully is important. Though that is a good incentive to drive goals, personnally i dislike when people verbalise it. The reason being...... take for instance people who have lost everything in a hurricane or earth quake etc, they are very very grateful to be alive. But how long for before the need of material things come flooding back!! Especially as now they have nothing and have to continue living in society which dictates that you must have this or that to live a good life.......

If someone achieves their goals n ongoing goals thats to be commended not berated. Regardless the size n scope of their goals.
For instance i have very good friends who suffer badly with depression, their goal each day is not to commit suicide!!
