Hey Steve... I know from experience how hard it was getting my business going from the ground up, but I know you have been cleaning windows for a few day 😂and have the knowledge to succeed. I have been watching your videos for over 2 years now and I have learned and benefited from them immensely. Thank you for the awesome videos, and wish you the best of luck👍🏻
Thank you Steve for your support to our community ( windows cleaning) I would like to hear from you in regards to hiring new employees for your service, may the Lord continuing blessing you! Happy New Year everyone!!!
All the best to you man. Appreciate all your content. I’m a teacher full time looking to continue to grow our cleaning services company. This is great timing and motivation. You got this!
Laying that foundation for spring! There's a lot of solo guys (like me) and topics like scheduling, marketing, bookkeeping, and working with other owners are all tricky at times.
You are a born businessman and I have no doubt you are an awesome worker. I live in Canada and I so wish I had someone like you to call to do my windows and gutters. However, I still watch your videos because they have been very useful in buying the right equipment to "encourage" my trusty handyman to do a better job. Your advice is excellent and you deserve to do well. I have no doubt you will✌p.s. I believe your best reviews are these You Tube videos👌
Congrats on going out on your own, that has to be a great feeling😁It’s been cool to see things progress over the years with 20/20, WCR & now your own business. I’ll make sure and leave you a review!!😎👊🏼
Great introductory summary to the start-up phase. You didn't miss a thing. Here in Australia, most strip malls or fully enclosed shopping centres require A$10 million public liability insurance before they let you in the complex to canvas for jobs. But it's worth it.
Thank you so much for this (and all of your other videos)! Starting my own ww business could really help me create a better life, but I didn’t know where to start, so I wasn’t starting. Your videos are helping make that happen. I cannot thank you enough.
lol @ 11 minutes some wierdo parked right by me when Im trying to make a video had me cracking up Im the same way. Good advice Im getting started here real soon.
Congrats SteveO that was a ton of work you did. I believe you forgot to talk about accident insurance. GL doesn’t protect you from injury on the job. And workman comp doesn’t protect owner. So it’s important to have a supplement insurance to your health insurance. For example the policy I have, should I fall of a ladder and break a bone while working my policy will pay me to 10k, to pay my bills until I can work again
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner This is in addition to health insurance. It’s a supplemental. Health insurance isn’t going to pay for your car payments and electric bills when you can not work. I’m sure you heard of Aflac insurance. As a business we have so many expenses, we can not afford not to work. But if you can’t work for a month or two. Your business might go under
Oh yeah! We are all set for this to be the max! Very curious about the new videos that you will be posting. I have been working independently for 7 months now and this will certainly generate a lot of ideas for me. I wish you a lot of success and a lot of fun in what you will achieve. Many greetings from Belgium
Hey steveo i follow you now a long time i have learn a lot of you i have a queston how old you was when you start window cleaning and how old do you was when you open you own business greetz from the netherlands
I'm starting my own business now. I have a few clients which is family and friends but for now it's a start😂😂 but dammm everything is sooo expensive in south africa
So do you door knock? Letterbox drop flyers and business cards? I'm thinking door knocking and letter box dtop in a residential area might be best for me, but curious what you did to get started? I work as a risk analyst right now, so have a 9 to 5, but wanted to start doing weekend work and if things start to take off, transition to full time. The first part of my plan is to use my own house to build my skills and just practise, practise, practise every free time I have till I can clean my house windows and stacker doors efficiently and with good techniques and great outcomes.. build up that confidence because I want those first jobs I do to be really great etc
Hey SteveO, just curious if you have prior experience using the CRM you are currently using. If so I’d like to get more feedback on what you like and dislike about it.
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner I'm in the process right now; An hour outside Vancouver! Not a great time but hoping in Spring it will pick up :-) Emerald-Isle-Cleaning.ca
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Sorry...I just didn't look close enough. I read the title, but thought it was just about coaching to start a new business from the title. All the best to you in your new adventure SteveO!!!!
I have a question. I am 15 and want to do this as well, but don’t I need a buisness license or contract to clean other peoples windows? What is safe to do and what do you recommend to do?
Hello SteveO, I Recently partnered with an older window cleaner. He wants to retire and sell me his route, which is extensive. How do I effectively transfer his clients to JOBBER? I mean they've been transacting business for a long time face to face transactions, which I've noticed waste a lot of time. I don't want to risk putting them off, or shocking them with a new system. I've already acquired Jobber and thought to ask before introducing CRM to old customers.
Most importantly start with high prices!!!!!! Don’t lower prices to get jobs! Will kill you. Be a little embarrassed about your estimates, out of 10 estimates if you only get 3 that’s a good sign!
Happy New Year I wish you all the best for you and your new company. Best regards from Uros(also window cleaning) from Belgarde Visit my Web site on www.mtim.rs on Google And also on facebook and instagram mtim 2017

Hey man, I'm 15 also and recently started in the business. I'm not yet licensed, but did around 4,000 in jobs in the last few months. I'll be getting licensed and insured this spring hopefully. Did you ever end up starting window cleaning?

Do they think window cleaners steal their diamonds?

This guy pretty awesome I watched him when I started window cleaning he helped me a lot!
My slogan… “The Choice Is CLEAR” pun intended lol
Congrats on your new start, wish you all the best.
How long did you run a full-time window cleaning business? You are very good at giving information to others.
Also, I really like you pick Professional as part of your name just like my business name. My business has Professional in big letters
11:02 whenever I eat lunch in my car 🙄
Sweet information SteveO!
I will start window cleaning as a new service. I got the truck the ladders and some equipment but men those purified water systems are expensive😅
Super excited about this series and wish you the best!

Do you think you can start out really basic without an llc registered to get a few jobs first to pay for equipment, marketing etc?

Great video, but just wanted to know what website you used to create your logo and design ?
For the logo I hired a designer on Thumbtack, Honestly I think it could be better. But that is a good place to check out for it, but do your reasearch

So what happend with your 20/20 Window Cleaning ?
Nothing bad, just wanted a company 100% my own
What model is the van that you purchased?
Ford transit connect xlt 2020
Hi SteveO, thank you for all information, i have a question, Do we need some license or certification for start this business ?
Nope, just register with your state
I thought you already owned and operated a window cleaning business?
Is the accrual name of your business just 'pure professional' or is it pure professional window cleaning'?
Pure professional window cleaning
There is a scaffolding company in my area their slogan is “for quality erections”😂
I want to start my own window cleaning business I have $2000 iis that good
Yes, more than enough to get going!
Being a mainly cash business , what do you do for taxes
A majority of it is not cash anymore, most pay with a credit card or check but everything’s reported, pay taxes like any other business
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner ....so when your first starting up how do you accept credit cards
@@Mr99RICH99 quickbooks or any CRM like Jobber can take credit cards
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner .....when your first starting up are there ways around this because they aren't free

👍🏻
Company goals....More storefront work hire a guy and never clean like the JNE guy.....Once heard to work On your business NOT in your business .
Im tempted to do the same thing. The rat race is destroying my life i need change
Do it! It'll be the best move you'll make
Happy New Year
I wish you all the best for you and your new company.
