    I just set up my waterfed pole system today. I used to flip burgers for $12 an hour but now because I found your videos I make $100 an hour doing something I enjoy.

    Hey man. I was on my uncle's couch. I had gotten an DUI. No car no license. I watched "how to make 500 a day window cleaning". I got laid off from My job, i took my last paycheck and just ran with it. Now I do hospitals. Huge houses. Mansions. You changed my life, bought your book absolutely gold just like your videos. Much love and a Huge Thank You!
    You have no idea how you've helped me, and you never even asked anything of me, again thank you! Keep up the great content.

    Keith, thank you for telling your story once again. It hit me hard. I just recently lost my fulltime job, and been struggling to find another one. I've been trying to get my side business up and going for pressure washing which just so happens to include window washing. I've also purchased your book just now. I just got another job, but because of the holiday season I'm only getting 1 or 2 days of work a week, and it's not cutting it. My tuck payment is 2 months behind, my wife is working 3 jobs just to keep our heads above water. I'm tired of these dead end jobs and living paycheck to paycheck. Of all the videos I've watched, THIS ONE was the one that gave me the motivation. I was putting out flyers door to door, but ignoring the fact that I need to knock on doors and talk to people. I'm in San Antonio, TX and it's a pretty big city, so there's no excuse. I'm ready for the NO's and I'll have a rebuttal for them. I just packed my truck up and going to hit ground running first thing in the morning. I've set a goal of 100. I'm going to talk to 100 people or business managers/owners and convince them I'm a new business and would like to provide my service to them. Keith, thank you once again, can't wait to get your book. I'm going to spend the rest of the night watching your other videos.

    I launched a window cleaning business in Guatemala on the 15th of January 2020 and got 3 jobs before the beer-bug hit and got everything shut down. I've been slaving away as a grunt for the last 3 years and I needed to hear this!
    I'm getting back on the wagon again. I'm in a nicer area of Guatemala city and I know I can make it work.
    Thanks for posting this video!

    Absolutely unequivocally valuable talk. If i was in the truck i wouldn't have said a word the entire half hour.
    Great stories, they help relate with my own scenarios in very powerful ways. You were the reason i got my first pair of wireless headphones all those years ago when i got started. Audio book after audio book, grinding out my home advisor window cleaning leads. I'll never forget the day at 19 i made 950 bucks in one day cleaning windows for a few hours while i had my buddy that i hired for the day outside with the waterfed pole. It was because of your guidance alone that i had the justification for the confidence i displayed to the customer.
    I haven't done a window cleaning job in some years now, yet it was some of the happiest discovery years i've had so far. The grind and grit is really a horror, yet nostalgic.
    There's just nothing like walking out of the house after the job, cash in hand.

    I feel like this is what I'm going to have to do here in western Montana. No one wants to pay in my town for window cleaning and I'm getting rejected and rejected and rejected and right now I have like 3 jobs and that is it.
    A window cleaner in another richer town in Idaho is telling me charge high, don't sell yourself short, know your worth.
    But starting out from scratch here, I think I have to do what you're saying. I'm not looking forward to it. But I'm also not going back to being a full time employee, even though I was making great money trucking.

      You can learn alongside a small business owner. You could offer to work for free for a couple, call around, to learn. Another good idea would to directly call small businesses around your area and ask if they need work. But you can learn window cleaning all by yourself. Start cleaning your own windows at home.

    Do you think you would have been able to physically and mentally charge higher prices without charging lower initially? What I'm trying to figure out is if you think I should charge higher prices at first, or do you think somebody starting out needs that learning curve?
