@gideonfisk Great posts, friendly reminder for all to grab liability insurance before cleaning a customers windows for the first time. Protect yourself!

@wolfspirit Read profit first, and put percentages towards op ex, marketing, tax savings and owners pay. Then your finances will always be in order without worrying about it

@sisterdonna Good on you! Keep pushing that price though, roof cleaning can average between 150 and 200 an hour normally but this depends on your area and local competition. Don't be afraid to keep slowly raising your pricing until you find enough pushback to know the limit. After all you are...

@marfamu How about a kayak rental business? Much simpler business model and a kayak can be paid off after 5 days of rentals roughly

OSHA is a little overkill for ladder stuff IMO but watch some YouTube videos on ladder safety of you're curious. Couldn't hurt

@justadog Yes that's correct. If your hands slip it's much easier to catch yourself than rungs at least that's what I learnt

@justadog Get ladder arms for stabilizing the top of your ladder and leg extensions to stabilize the bottom on sloped ground. Aside from that try not to rush and take your time. Keep 3 points of contact on ladder at all times and keep your hands BEHIND the side rails as you go up and down, not...

@jerri I normally don't advocate for taking on debt but why not take out a lease on a used truck you'd want and then work hard to pay the lease off as fast as possible? I think you'd much prefer running something like that in a truck than a car or car and trailer. It might get a little rough...

@justadog Cougar paws are good when it's dry for sure. I'd recommend staying off the roof and use a ladder with a gutter tool on a pole. It will halve the amount of times you need to move the ladder increasing your speed while staying safe. It costs $50 with the pole and well worth it. Also get...

@coldsummer Everyone can get sensitive on this one, but something I read once summed it up nicely: if you don't have any employees, you own your job. If you have employees, you own a business. There's nothing wrong with owning a job! The benefits are endless, we all know this. But taking on...

@justadog Please be careful. Coming from someone who has cleaned gutters as part of my business. You should try and work from a ladder instead of a roof. Get shoes with really good grips on them and don't go on shingles when they are wet or icey. Good luck out there

@muriels63 All Eyes isn't bad but I'd drop the Z on the EyeZ, it just comes off as a bit cheesy (no offense meant). It will also mean you have to spell it out everytime you're giving someone your web address or an email address. At the end of the day having the perfect name is not as important...
