Startup phase!
Hello everyone, my name is Ryan, I'm 21 years old and have decided to start my own window cleaning business. I'm in college, unmarried, live at home with my family, and I figured now would be a prime time to realize the American dream of starting my own business. I literally sent the check yesterday to the State to obtain my LLC, and that's where I'm at in the startup process. I've done research on equipment, prices, techniques, etc., but to say im inexperienced would be an overstatement...so any advice and knowledge you have to share is much appreciated! Thanks!
Ryan

Hey Ryan! Remember what you need to deliver, great results and service. You'll figure out all the tweaks as you go (with some WCR coaching, of course!)
Best wishes,

Welcome Ryan! Make sure from the beginning you think like a business owner, and not just like a window cleaner.

It certainly is. Kind of like at a buffet -- you can get a lot of great stuff... and some not so great stuff. Just gotta pay attention and decide for yourself who to listen to. Originally Posted by spectrumwindowcleaningllc
