Thank you for your reply JackSmackPWC,
I have not signed any contracts with my current employer. To be honest I don’t have defined responsibilities with my current job so I end up doing a little bit of everything.
I suppose my fall back could be delivering food for door dash which I have done off and on in the past. It’s not very good money but it is something to fill in the gaps for sure.
I will not be tapping into my current companies client list because I do think that would be a major conflict of interest. He paid a lot of money for that list and I would feel dishonest starting a company that offers the same services and basically stealing his clients. That is nice that you had that option though.
I laid out my marketing plan above. I don’t have a problem working odd hours especially if that means early mornings. Door dash would be an option to carry me through slower times because it is usually conversely related to window cleaning. People don’t want to go out and get food when it’s raining or cold.
I do not have my own equipment yet because everything has been provided by my company. I built a list on ABC window cleaning and the total is about $300. I would love to get your input on what you used to start. My main thinking is that I don’t want to buy cheap stuff that I am going to have to replace in the first month or so. I’m used to using brass channels and handles so luckily those are pretty dang cheap.
Thanks!
