quit window cleaning last year never going back,

What did you switch to if you don’t mind me asking?

The fact your here would suggest it still holds a little interest for you.

I quit window cleaning myself but my company still carries on,

Well that was an anti climax

I totally despise it , have done for some time , I can’t bring myself to work for anybody else either.
I have sold loads of my round recently to make the round more bearable but that hasn’t worked either , the only thing is the money to time ratio that keeps me in it !

I am in the process of getting another business going to make my escape, garden statuary can be a good earner, it’s not as lucrative as windows but it’s a way of getting out .
I advertised some of my concrete Gonks on the run up to Christmas to get a bit of pocket money and within 2 hours I had orders for 79 at £10 a pop , I only had one mould at the time so a lesson was learned  ;D , anyway, onwards and upwards eh !
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

I'm getting that way 15 years in, short 4 days help, think if I had to do 5 long days slog every week I'd have thrown towell in by now, the job itself isn't very stimulating, I know podcasts radio etc can help pass the day, but however you dress it up it's quite a boring repetitive way to earn a living.

Imagine getting to 70, looking back at your life and thinking ‘well, I cleaned some windows’……..

2% of people have careers everyone else has a job imagine getting to 70,that’s a feat in itself being 70 and to still be able to work life could be a lot worse for you.

Yes hopefully that'll be me.....had a few great relationships with women,partied hard in my youth,played a lot of drums,worked part time for 40 years,been around the world on plenty of luxury holidays,drove a few nice cars,kept myself fit in the gym🏋️‍♂️....

I'd settle for that mate any day..... :)
