Also your attitude on here is not the most pleasant and has already broken forum guidelines.

Forum guidelines? What are those and where can I find them?

I don’t think you can judge that really - I’m sure in theory you can make 100k by year 3 - after all look at  those on here - doing 4 hour days and working 3 maybe 4 day weeks for 70k a year - apply that to doing say a 39 hour week then anything is possible …

Some people are more motivated than others - if you get 3 franchises up and running the skys the limit

Whether in reality it can be done is another matter ….

Is anyone really earning £70k a year doing 4 hours - 3/4 days a week?

If so what the hell are they doing? I need to know!

I take 70k. I have 3 full time staff and work 8 hours on Mondays then an hour per day for the rest of the week to reply to emails.

We don't have a window cleaning round anymore tho. We do one offs like gutters, pw and render.

I take it it’s a 70k profit and not 70k turnover with having staff?

I personal take 70k, most of it is in dividends.

How did you transition from window cleaning to just doing the bigger jobs..? The regular window cleaning could bring in a good, steady stream of money, especially if it was franchised? Why did you change?

[Smudger]

1 off work like s/f/g etc.. easily bring in 2x or 3x p/h over regular windows - p/w even more

the disadvantage is its usually a fair while before it repeats...

we stopped growing the windows a while back just so we could keep up with "add ons" - now we've taken on more staff I have more flex to add more window work - purely as a base/safety net should everything dry up

if you can cope with not having repeating work you earn more while doing less

Yes I definitely agree.

We do a lot of extra work, and I really don't push it. If I did I'm confident we would be fine with the bigger jobs. My main concern is employing people, as I would need at least two employees working to a very good standard. From past experience I am not keen to employ to be honest..

Which gives me the challenge to work out what to with the business, which means another year will go by without making a decision!
