You’re reading this because you think you’d like to start a window cleaning business.
I know it isn’t the most glamorous business for an entrepreneur to get into…
But it certainly can be very lucrative.
Service businesses are seeing a resurgence with young business-minded people especially.
You need not look any further than the myriad Tiktok and Youtube accounts dedicated to timelapses of landscaping and yard clean-ups to know what I’m talking about.
Maybe they’ve grown weary of a world where everything is online, and work is done on a computer.
They crave real human interaction, and honest work that they can see on their hands when they get home at the end of the day.
It’s kinda punk-rock to do work in the real world while your buddies try to get rich off of Hawktuah Coin (it’s a real thing).
I can–as I’m sure you can, too–attest to the fact that it’s a very particular feeling of pride and satisfaction you get when you do labor for someone and they approvingly hand you a wad of cash upon its completion.
But, window cleaning does present unique challenges to the business owner.
For one, it’s hard not to underprice your services.
All businesses have their own version of this problem…
But when you’re a window cleaner, your clients have that Windex bottle and rag sitting under their kitchen sink like a household chore green goblin mask:
“what are you gonna pay someone else to do this for?”
It’s also hard to scale your business.
You can’t do everything by yourself, but you also can’t make serious money hiring high schoolers with a turnover of every 1 or 2 years when they leave for college.
You need to be able to afford a respectable wage that is going to satisfy the needs of your blue collar hiring pool.
This may feel daunting…
But you just need the right strategy and data on your business to allow yourself to feel comfortable making big moves like this.
Think back to your first big equipment purchase. That was the move that took you from $0 to where you are today.
Each one of these big moves helps you scale to the next level.
And they don’t get less scary–you just get more confident in your ability to grow and run your business.
