     So dazmond,   minus your 30 mins for Lunch,    leaves  5hours ( 300 minutes ) divided by 27 jobs =  11.111 minutes per
    Job ?    Can you explain these figures, it doesn't add up to me 11 minutes + per job.

There's whole weeks where I don't clean 27 jobs!😄

[Dry Clean]

Don’t no how you can do 27 jobs in that time scale:
 

Nathan Kay could do 30 detached properties with conservatories in 5 hours, all done with only 200 litres of water, best to just smile and nod.

easy when there all next door to each other....a couple were fronts only so it was only actually around 23 full houses back and front,some with connys/extensions,some without....

some were fronts only so they take less than 5 mins to clean Larry.....all these jobs are next door to each other and most are 4 weekly...house after house after house.......ive been cleaning them for years....ive got another 27 booked in for tomorrow and 22 on thursday then im done until monday....

next week ive got 56 jobs to do in 5 days (just over £1500 worth) but some are large domestic and offices with a scattering of smaller jobs.....swings and roundabouts.....

i certainly couldnt clean 30 detached properties in 5 hours even if they were next door to each other.....

i usually drain most of my 500L tank in 5 hours cleaning smaller jobs...

That's great the OP is struggling so you have to go on a boast about how great you are!
That's really going to help him feel better. Talk about kicking a man when he's down.

hopefully it will inspire him to pick himself up and dust himself down and crack on.......

I doubt it, but hey ho you have hijacked another post with your boasting and talking about yourself

[Gringo]

Have you ever looked up the meaning of narcissistic Daz??

[Richard iSparkle]

I doubt it, but hey ho you have hijacked another post with your boasting and talking about yourself

i dont know.

personally i find it inspiring people who have made a successful business, or a successful lifestyle.

it helps having people empathise with you if you're down. but after the empathy and kind words what most of us want is an idea of how we can move forward from where you are and get to a better place.

daz is just showing how he went from being sick of window cleaning, to being in a point where he has a decent business, all run by himself, and has a lifestyle all around it.

knowing that it is possible to do great days of work, and finish early and put your feet up, is pretty exciting for me

do you really want to only hear from people who say yes it is tough, yes it is boring, and yes it is a grind, or do you want to hear someone also say it doesn't have to be like that?

[Gringo]

I too finish early with feet up as you say, but unlike you I don't really find that exciting, or feel the need to massage Daz's ego any further, he got caught with the BS , the other week with the when I'm getting married/not getting married nonsense, so just take what he says with a pinch of salt really.

There you go....I dont BS mate!👍

[dazmond]

when i used to struggle with motivation at times was when i was on the ladders back in the 90s/noughties........

late nights and partying

too much booze,smoking and sometimes a few class As

poor diet(eating too much processed food and very little fruit/veg)

at times i felt terrible and couldnt face work........this went on for years

cheers richard......

im in a much better place these days but its all down to cleaning up my lifestyle as well as determination and hard work

[deeege]

Quite a few £180 days on your planner there Daz, not so quick to tell us all about them ones are you 

[jay moley]

If its really getting you down look into something else. Thats what Im doing.

The business side is exciting but the actual window cleaning is awful.

It's the most boring thing anyone could do with their time. When Im doing it I realise what a waste of my brain power it is. Any idiot could do it. I feel like an idiot doing it. You use your brain more working at McDonalds than you do window cleaning. People will; post: "Yeah but look how much we're earning!" but on your death bed you'll look back and think what the f was I doing all day swinging round a pole.

I can't wait to get out of it.

4 hour days....... ...also theres a few skipped jobs due to building work,etc  that still show as jobs done...in fact im down around £500 over the last 2 months due to skipped jobs..loads of customers are either having extensions,new driveways,painting,etc,etc...its crazy....ive never known so much outside work being done!

also open reach have been digging up the pavements around where i work for the last few weeks and putting in fibre optic cables which can be a pain for parking and getting hose to some jobs!

I Lost motivation with carpet cleaning, for 15yrs it was my life,  even my holidays were based around carpet cleaning conventions  (in LasVegas,  purely business and tax deductible 😆 )

Cheapo companies and a new breed of customers who knew the price of everything but the value of nothing slowly killed my love of the game.  so I packed it in

Sometimes you just need to say sod it and move onto new pastures
