Where are our noses pointed? – Dan Wagner Window Cleaning
I think it’s safe to say that most of us did not originally get into window cleaning for recognition, prestige, or social status. Some of us kind of ‘slid into’ it. Perhaps a friend asked us to work, and we realized after a while the income potential existed if we decided to start our own business. Some of us may have read that it has an easy and inexpensive entry and has an impressive financial upside. But for the right to brag and rub shoulders with doctors, lawyers, and bankers? Likely not.
Being an Underdog – Matt Fadden with ShinePro
Being the underdog, you will find your grit. You quickly learn you have to figure out what sets you apart from the rest in order for you to come out on top.

We all have to start somewhere and just because you may be the underdog now doesn’t mean you won’t end up the top dog in your area.
Christian M. Strunge – Renseholdet ApS & Glideator soap
In 2020, I launched my own window cleaner soap, Glideiator, which I took two years to develop because I wanted a soap that had a better slip and glide than the ones that were on the market. The soap is now sold in 9 countries in Scandinavia, Europe, the US, and the UK!
