Going full time starting in Spring 2012!
Permalink  
 


Well, for the past two years, I've been part timing it with only a dream of going full time. My first year was pathetic, but at this point, I feel armed with plenty of knowledge and skills to take Extreme Cleaning Solutions to the next level.

I don't think you can truly run a business to the best it can be by doing it part time, and even if you do manage to run it pretty good, your family ends up suffering because you're working you butt off doing 40 + hours at your "regular job" and an equal amount 7 days per week at your "part time job." Juggling a schedule like that is more work than I expected and it would be impossible to actually grow a business unless you drop the security blanket and give your 100% best effort to growing your business.

My business kept up with my full time salary without much more advertising other than facebook and my website. Thanks to the folks here, we tripled our income from last year and have had steady work nearly every week.

I made plenty of mistakes along the way, and I'm sure I'll make plenty more when doing this full time, but I love every minute of it and I'm light years ahead of where I was when I first decided that I wanted to start cleaning for a living.

Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and I'm hoping to tear it up with everyone else in 2012!

I hope we can push each other to be better, bc I'm looking to bust the doors off the roof cleaning Institute come spring. Don't take no for an answer, if your confident in your work, the people will eat it up.

Anyone want to practice selling/educating/ selling on the phone? Pm me stay on topic.

Hi Phil- We met in tampa earlier this year. Congrats on the full time decision. I did it as well this year in march - left the big steady paycheck for a job i could not stand. It is a much better way to run the business, and it will benefit you to be dedicating 100% to building the biz instead of wearing yourself out trying to do a fulltime job and build the biz part time. Look forward to seeing you again at the next event! Bob

Thanks, everyone. My wife is worried about it, but I'm miserable at my day job and she's probably sick of hearing me complain Monday - Friday, haha.

Ed, there is a corner in my garage with your name on it.

Thanks again all, it's time and I'm pretty excited about it. You gotta do what makes you happy in this life and since working is necessary, it should be something you enjoy and something that can provide a decent life for your family. While it is odd worrying about not having a steady paycheck every single week, I'm seeing my friends getting laid off one by one at their jobs and they are having trouble finding work. I'd rather be in charge of my own destiny, not the other way around.

Carry around your little boy and wifes picture, and when things start getting hard, imagine facing them to say you failed ?

Failure is NOT an option, and as long as you do what you need to do, you will succeed.

There is no Ceiling as to how much you can make cleaning roofs. There is also no Floor either.
