2nd best week ever ( financially)....
« on: August 06, 2009, 06:18:17 pm »
One of the wettest weeks I've ever worked &  earned enough to buy a 47 super max. ( didn't though, shame!)
surely that wins the arguement for training your custies?

I'm sure that they would appreciate it knowing you worked in wet weather and still managed £900+ in a week,  but why another one of these earning bragging posts ::)

I don't think you realise what this forum is about.
Currently we have a hot debate on whether to work or not in the rain!
I never mentioned actual earnings but gave an impression so that so cleaners suffering financially due to rain can see that it can be done.
So please don't impune false motives.

With respect Kev, you always brag about your earnings which I find a little odd considering your faith?

my faith is all about helping those I can. It's a commandment.
I post to encourage others.
If you wish to see this as bragging then you should get to know me or my brothers better.

 :) No thanks. I did have an interestring conversation with one a few weeks ago and the guy was bleating on about greed in the society. So, I asked about greed and wether he priced a job high does that make him greedy or if he earned £1000 in one week was that greed?
Never did get to the bottom of it. Is boasting a bad thing too?

My average price fir a 3 bed is £7.50. 
I believe I offer a quality service to my custies at a very reasonable rate. In my mind this is a facet of principled love I show to others.
I have twice alluded to earnings
1) to show that vans are dinosaurs & a quad bike can be much quicker on domestic work. Hopefuuly some folks may take this route.
2) now. Showing that if you have some gumption about you, then he weather needn't inhibit the ability to earn & feed your family

if you dontbpost actual facts then how can anyone make a reasoned choice?

I'll back out now. Just an observation, not looking for an argument especially one of those arguments.

Just that earnings posts are guaranteed to get my back up. I've always felt earnings are a very private affair not to be plastered over a forum.

You never mentioned actual earnings...... but you did say

earned enough to buy a 47 super max
A 47 super max is as Gardiners website......
Price: £825.00 (£948.75 Including VAT charge at 15%)
So you may as well have said " I earned £900+ today"

And as for the

So please don't impune false motives
No idea what that means.... I'm but a poor window cleaner ;D

Accuracy above all else my boy. The post said 2nd best week ever. Not  2nd best day ever.
I also believe a daily rate of £200 to be modest with some window cleaners.
Are we not all working for money?
Would it not make sense to seek out the most effcient way of earning said money?
I personally wish to make each day as productive as possible & when all required tools have been purchased I shall reduce my working week to 3 days so that I concentrate on the most important matter of all. 
Pleasing my creator, Jehovah.
I have in the past, posted in order to pass on experience garnered through practice.

But I feel that not everybody wants positive & accurate feedback so I shall bow out now.
A wise person is never tired of informative words & a fool rdicules.

I have enjoyed some good humour & learnt much.

Thank you to those with such positive contributions.

Finally, kevin.

Good for kevin, hes proud of what hes achieved , whats wrong with that?

PS still dont think you should change from 4 weekly to 8 and still charge the same money though.

its a shame that the posts about mentioning money/earnings have in some peoples eyes become a crime, i dont particularly want to know if kev made 900 quid this week or last week or the week before, but he made it this week and he choose to post it, albiet under another thread......but you see, that is his right.....he cant be thrown out of the forum for posting his earnings....its not contravening any forum law....if it is then i apologize for being ignorant of that....if it aint then why throw a wobbly?......i could say you are jealous that he made 900 quid and you didnt.........i may even be sitting saying i only made 400 quid this week despite my best efforts and after reading what kev has done i feel a wee bit down about it......but the difference is he has better work, he has been industrious enough to get off his backside and go get that work, so good on kev...and before you say "you guys look after your own" nonsence, if kev said something on here that wasnt right then i would be the 1st to say so ;)

and kev would agree with me ;D.......wouldnt you mate?....(secret handshake) :-X
