Solo-Op Winter Cheat Codes – Mike Radzik
It’s a Winter Wonderland! Please note: some Winter Wonderlands may vary by location. So let’s talk about my Winter Wonderland in Massachusetts and how I not only survive, but how I thrive during the coldest times of the year. As a solo owner/operator the winter used to be the hardest time for me to even survive. For a few years, I would work a second or third-shift crap job just to pay the bills. Don’t be too proud to go punch a clock if you have to just to keep the lights on and food on the table!
Be Your Own Boss: The Benefits of Being a Window Cleaning Pro
Imagine this: you pick up a squeegee at 17, not knowing that this simple tool will transform your life and set you on an incredible journey. That’s exactly what happened to me, Gabe Salinas. With 32 years in the window cleaning industry, I’ve uncovered profound benefits that come with being your own boss. Here’s why becoming a professional window cleaner can be one of the most rewarding paths you’ll ever take.
Taking Stock of your Time – Poor Man Window Cleaning
Identify the tasks that don’t yield returns and ask yourself if they’re truly worth the sacrifice. We have the tools at our disposal to reclaim our time, to ensure that it’s spent on what truly matters. In doing so, we not only elevate our businesses but enrich our lives. Remember, in the grand scheme of things, we’re not just in the business of providing services—we’re in the business of offering time.
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. Without looking at your market and competition, you will find it much harder to do so. 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.
