Have the odd day doing your old job. Mine was lorry driving. I still do the odd day to keep my hand, and at the end of the day i say the same thing. Why did i take this job today, give me back my windows.

Motivation is hard...at the moment it is about earning enough to get a mortgage...at that it is anyones guess...but yes this job is and does get very boring, mind numbing.

Dave.

[mr D]

i cant say i ever get bord or its mind numbing. but i do get lonely having no one to chat to. probaly why i come on here as much as i do!!

[Captain Scarlet]

Call me simple or whatever you want but I really enjoy Window Cleaning....and because of that it probably helps me earn more than those who dont enjoy it, Luke

Good to see there are some rock music appreciators out there, dont forget the mighty Status Quo, no matter how fed up I get a dose of SQ is the "perfect remedy" couldn't resist that , it was 1 of their albums years ago

[simon knight]

For me Cheltenham & Gloucester are motivation enough :

[AJ]

Being skint is a great motivator, and if you don't do the work you will be.

[elite mike]

Black Sabbath, Deep Purple

great taste there dave:D 

dont forget   thunder  and budgie

[macmac]

Van halen, hendrix, stevie ray vaughn, journey, whitesnake, & of course old "slow hand" eric clapton.

My round is a little over six years old and I have old compact work which doesn't pay as well as my later better paid work; which often involves driving between jobs.

When my old work is due, I/we find it easy to take a day off, but when my new work is due; we're there no problem, starting as early as we can to pack it all in.

So for us, and other guys I've spoken to, money is a strong motivating force; just make sure you price well and you'll stay motivated.

[Clive McDonald]

That was pretty good Tosh, I agree.

You had a dark spell not long ago, talking about chucking it all in and selling insurance. I couldn't understand that.

Glad to see you've got your vitality back.

My stopwatch motivates me, I time every job and make a note of the time. I then strive to beat my best time every time I clean.

Start with yourself 

my reply to topic

[pingu]

Now do not get me wrong..but as my round grows I am getting more houses on the same street...that's all fantastic but on some roads where I have loads of the same type of house...I find I can get a bit bored especially if I am there for hours and hours....do you find the same....now I know this is good business to be inthe same place, less packing/unpacking but never the less...I do get bored at times.

How about you...


Cheers
Dave.

[frames to panes]

I get bored if i know the round. By taking on different frequency cleans no two weeks are the same. I like the money of compact work but hate the predictability of the day.
