I'll admit it
by Mo Mon May 18, 2015 5:10 pm
OK Ill admit I physically cant do more that three jobs a day. What the most jobs you have ever done in a day with out a helper? Superman Rob doesn't count. Did three today and I'm comfortably numb without any medicinal

It's easier when it isn't every day....I'm a cleaning capacitor, just store up the energy until needed.
You guys out there cleaning 4-5 houses per day are machines....or just nuts.

I've done 6 jobs a couple of years ago by myself, it was a couple of days before Thanksgiving, it took about 11 - 12 hours, I would definitely do it again if needed but I'm hoping it wouldn't happen again, lol.
Come to work with me when you're in Cali Mo, I'll show you how it's done, ha..ha..ha....

I'm hear what your saying Mo. I use to be able to do 4-6/day, several days per week, even in the summer. I held up pretty good. About 3 years ago, I hit a wall. Would get exhausted after 3. Still do 4, some days.
Now Im at about 3, unless a good customer absolutely needs it done, then I'll do what I need to do to take care of them.
Not sure what's left in the tank. But I'll grind it out.

He said the most jobs you've ever done
You've done 10 jobs when you first started in the cleaning industry 30 years ago ?

you can run a business til your 90, you can only sling the wand so long
doesnt matter if your already 70 its not too late to turn it from a job into a business
wanding all day is a really tough day, even if your really in shape just cant do it forever and its pain youll pay for more so when your retired... kinda like a football player

I think the most I've ever done is 4. We have some guys swinging the wand into their 70 so it does really depend on the individual and the desire and enjoyment of the physical aspect of the cleaning.
Be an owner/op is definitely not just a job.

I shoot for 3 jobs a day 5-6 days a week. When it gets real busy I will end up with 5-6.

It's a whole different story with a helper. I could work into my 100s with a helper
