If you’re not bored of window cleaning after a couple of years, there’s something wrong with you.

I don't think there's many jobs that pay  50k a year for 20-25 hours a week with time off when you want and the stress free freedom that window cleaning brings....I also have around 5 or 6 weeks off per year too these days.... :)

Why does anyone work as an employee ? theres millions of them out there

maybe he will work for himself one day or maybe he wont,  no point worrying about it really

Totally agree - when I was on the tools I would do 8 to 4 everyday - longer when there was s/f/g work through the summer - and when employing I was first in - last home

even now I'm not on the tools I am in at 8 am to check in all is ok

Darran

Sod that!i would be truly miserable working them hours....

Part time is just the best of both worlds for me..

I work better and more effectively working shorter hours

No burn out or getting fed up as I'm home with feet up before it gets to that stage and I have time and energy for hobbies,leisure/family time,etc

There will be a reason, you’ll most likely find out that reason with the next week or two   ;D

Your lifestyle Dazmond allows you to work partime.I imagine your out goings are minimal no wife or kids, no mortgage and the van and car are leased.

Every ones different.Some people want and need to earn more.

You would also be surprised how many are on good money.I personally know people on 100k = a year and work in an office with holiday pay, sick pay and a pension.

Daz’s earnings have gone up by at least 5k this year without putting his prices up! Amazing.

Not many will be earning 100k a year working part time.theyll have to bust a gut for that....

And that's the whole point for me....I don't want to work full time hours.never have really

I'm just starting to put prices up this month.not lost any yet but tbh I don't really care.id be happy to earn the same money for less work but we all know that never happens so itll be more like an extra couple grand over the year... :)

Fair play it works for you.100k is full time but they still don't break a sweat.

is the 50k for part time turnover or profit after tax,n.i and expenses?

Thats's good going if its 1k a week take home  for 4 hours a day plus 6 weeks off.

50k a year is the new 25-30k it depends how you live but 50k a year won’t set the world alight these days,what about November and December I think when people say 50k a year they include the whole year in their heads so add another 10k on top of that 50 in reality.
If you employ full time you want to X that by 3 at some point at least if it’s going to be worth while once everything is factored in expenses just keep coming,PAYE 1/4 Tax and Nat Ins to pay van bills you’re own Tax etc waste of time employing unless you can do certain numbers.
Stick on your own Daz 🤣🤣

People include November and December because they work and earn in those months too. Only fairies like yourself who don’t work in rain/wind/snow shouldn’t include the winter months.

No that's turnover but I can easily live on that up here in the North West plus the missus runs her own business too and when I move in with her no mortgage or rent as she will have paid it off by then!

Happy days.... 8)
