I Love My Window Cleaning Business // Still Cleaning 1 Of My First Clients
Still Window Cleaning & Landscaping For One Of My First Original Clients I love my business. After all these years I can only be more thankful for having the opportunity to be my own boss.
I walked into this restaurant many years ago, (in the winter) I was broke and going door to door selling my window cleaning services. I sold the owner on giving me a chance (low prices, foot in the door). By springtime. I upsold him on landscaping services too.
Years have past and I've raised the prices at least 5 times. (and he's still getting a deal). But with this client, I don't care about the money as much as I'm shocked at the level of loyalty we have for each other.
Starting and growing your own service business has so many advantages that you can't even articulate.

Bro i appreciate the jewels you drop🔥🔥🔥.
You inspired me to quit my dead-end job. Working for bs wage, knowing im worth way more. And having ppl laughing in your face about their accomplishments. And asking you to help build there's knowing your dreams.
So many gems 💎 here ,solid dude for sure
😊
this guy looked crazy in a home depot so we know how to start a window cleaning buisness. what an absolute legend we appreteate your sacrefice.
I took your advice years ago and yes I started a window cleaning company here in Arizona it changed my life. Thank you thank you my friend.
How’s the business ? Any rookie mistakes and things you learned ?
@@wavyvinny6202 Hey how are you?! Yes business is great. I would say the biggest mistake is price. The more I worked the better I was at estimating qnd how long a job would take. So yes there have been jobs that I have done and though "wow I should have charged alot more for this" but hey you live and learn.
@@thomasmendez142 so did you buy your own van and everything to start ?
@@lossestolessons yeah I started with the basic equipment and worked my way up. Make some money and reinvest on the business.
@@thomasmendez142 dope 💯
Anyone else get Heath Ledger Joker vibes listening to him? Expressive and captivating…I love it
Bro the way you talk about business is just phenomenal. Literally one of the most effective sermons I’ve heard in a long time. You have the gift brother.
I started with $20. Got a squeegee and brush plus a bottle for soap and water. I used old towels I had and an old step ladder. I made $70 my first day. Used that money to buy a nicer step ladder and bucket.
Got a WFP and DI system only 2 years ago. Changed my life
what is a WFP and DI?
@@MrBioFex
WFP = Water Fed Pole
DI = Deionising
The alternative filtration method to DI is RO which is Reverse Osmosis
Hope that helped :)
This is what I needed to know. I need a list of the items I need to start for the least amount. I’m broke. 😂
This is one of the most, if not the most motivational video I’ve ever seen.
Been cleaning Windows for five years with my boss who has been doing it for 30. There are many levels to window cleaning and many ways to cut the fat because with window cleaning, speed is the name of the game. Just remember slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
I listen to you and with 40 dollars started doing windows and have got 25 accounts so far
Can you tell me what you did and bought when you started??
@@RobTheSuave did you watch the video? It's right at the first part. Cost might be different for each person, you can use materials you might already have at home. Starting price is around the same. Those accounts will help pay for upgrades and or maintain your current gear.
That ending was genmuinely moving. I just had my first day at work today starting my new window cleaning business, and it didn't go as well as I would've wanted. I feel really motivated however to keep pushing through, and busting my ass. I want to live like you said, take my future wife out to a nice dinner and buy whatever we want. Take my future family on a spectacular vacation to greece just because. Thank you man I honestly can't explain how touching this was and I sincerely appreciate the words. I'm gonna get there man, I know it. ❤❤
Had my first job today and I felt the exact same way. Took me so long and the screens were super hard to clean and they still don’t look right. But this video was super encouraging. That 90% rule that he gave was awesome.
Very very inspirational and informative, the amount of inspiration you have given me to start is insane, you are right it takes time, blood, sweat, tears, bullsh*t, but in the end the harder worker perseveres. Thank you and bless you my friend 🙏🏼
Brother I needed to hear this! I work for a weed control and fert company and been seriously thinking about window cleaning and this vid just pushed me over the edge. THANK YOU!!! What crazy is that I’m good friends with about 100 of the 600 customers we have. I think it’s a gold mine given to me by God. Love your vids and I’m so thankful for running across you. 🙏🙏🙏😒😒😒🔥🔥🔥
The ending was great I really felt that !! That one tool can feed you and your wife or pay off debt like thinking of it that way is awesome!! Now I’ll take a little more pride in my job
Thanks Keith, I am retired now after having a Hondacar repair business for about 40 years. I have been through lots of business seminars over the years, Just want to say you knock in out the park. I like the part about your negative friends. I will never look at a squeegee the same. You are a great motivational speaker.
Thanks for taking time to make this I know that it's going really help people. As you know it really helps to be a little on the hungry side and a little desperate, and if hate being broke and don't want to live on the street. Thanks again Keith- Denis.
This authenticity is so refreshing. I'm so proud of you.💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾
#Inspired
This man is a hero!!! Thank you for laying out the plan. Now time to go out and execute!!!! Hustle hard my brothers and sisters!!!!
Keith you are such a wonderful Soul. I can watch your vids 24/7. You are such an inspiration and a healing voice for all of us Business owners.
Very motivational, even if I don't end up doing this your advice was universal for life and achieving any goal.
This will serve as my tape, but it's more than a tape. Be proud of yourself for this one. You're well articulated and your drive 'n' passion are a sight to behold. You've made it through the mud and now I have another puzzle piece that'll aid me in my journey to do the same. Much love man.
That was the best window cleaning business video I have ever seen. Heck… I never dreamed a window cleaning vid could be that good. I had no idea about 90% of that. Been married 39 years. My wife deserves a lot more than I have given her.
I’d sure like to speak with you bro. I know you’re busy… and I’m a stranger, but, I’ve been doing window cleaning for 30 years… and I am poor. I get more tips than anyone I know. I do the ‘100%’ +, type of work. But, you made me realize … or at least believe… I could do sooo much more.
Incredible vid. Thanks so much. Your talk has literally blown my mind.
Great vid, thanks for droppin those gold nuggets of knowledge.
about to start my own window washing business in the upcoming few weeks this video hit hard and inspired me.
You have some damn great perspective my friend. Thanks for the words of encouragement, it means a lot to some people honestly.
Incredible video my friend. Information filled and inspirational. We need more like you.
Just getting into window cleaning this was very inspirational! Thank you for taking time out of your day to make content like this bro
3 years later and I love this video. Especially the last part. It's the motivation I need to keep going. Thank you man. You lit a fire under my ass!
Cant believe it, but I'm in tears here man. Thank you for that much needed motivation brother. That was awesome.
You're very welcome.
Thank you for such motivation. Video is greatly appreciated.
Thank you brother, this is very helpful to people like me, that is trying to learn the business. I appreciate this very much.
At 19:04 bro you are so right. I can’t stress that enough. Thank you for your videos 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Thanks for the great info! I’ve been thinking about doing this.
Im just starting up and got help by my mom with clients i appreciate her help a lot and this just gave me more help as well thank you so much !
I like your style Keith! you are a likable dude! thanks for sharing!!
You make it sound easier than it first seemed to me. Thanks for the great video!
I love your energy and thank you for your advice
Great insight, awesome perspective. You got me fired up!
What you say can be applied to all business and aspects of life. You are a good speaker man this is a good video 🔥
He is so right, that squeege has changed my life too.
Can you further elaborate on this? I’m about to get started.
My mind has been racing about starting my own business. Thanks for the video it gave me that push, I’m going out to the store once they open and it’s on. Like you said, the squeegee is a window cleaners samurai sword and I’m ready for the grind.
How did it go my friend? I feel like I’m in your shoes right now, feeling stuck and feeling like I gotta do something.
did it work out?
As a business owner your right on it bro n one of the best business ideas anyone can do
I started a painting business 7 years ago and even though it’s a different trade I went through the exact same thing this man is saying. Great video and advice
Any youtubers you can recommend on how to start a painting business 101?
Say what you want about this man and how he’s gone about doing what he’s done. But from anyone just starting out.. you take this man’s advice and take what works for you at the moment this is all spot on.
Thanks bro
agreed
I love the moral dilemma argument here. I own a cleaning business (month 3) and I needed to hear this.
Thanks for the video! Amazing Stuff. 👍🏽
Ganaste un suscriptor mas mi brother 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 tengo 49 años y aun sin poder emprender y con tu video me estás inspirando a salir y buscar en esta industria mi liberación para formar mi futuro mejor 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 gracias. No se si me llegaras a leer y entender, pero es una forma de desahogarme la frustración y a las ves muchísimas ganas de comenzar en estos momentos 👍🏼👍🏼
This is one of the greatest videos I have ever watched. Thank you man, so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm 17 and I plan on going to college for business. I also want to start cleaning windows for some side money. Hoping this is the lucky move I needed. This is the first video I've seen on starting a window cleaning business that's actually going in depth thanks
Hows it going
Give us an update
I love your videos bro….. I don’t really give like to any videos but u described very well thank you so much keep going
Hi Keith. I'm from Brazil and I just loved your video man. I'll definitely take on board all your tips into my business. Like you said it will take sometime for someone just like me who's starting the business now solo to get good results! But I have faith that I'll get there one day. Thanks for the tips man. Hopefully I'll be ok in the next 2 years but than I'll might have to immigrate to England or US to get better payments😅. Anyway I follow you now so I'm here to learn. All the best and God bless you and your family buddy. 😎🤙🏻
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
This is what I needed you are so straight forward and I love it most other people that make videos on here just yap, you get straight to the point 🙌🏼 thank you for the advice I will be doing this soon 😁
Awesome 👌
This video got deep, thanks Keith.
🔥 I’m fired up too. Thank you 🙏🏽
This video is 3 years old. But this is by far, the absolute best! The most inspirational thing ive watched on any platform. I love the freedom of the camera, I love the fact that you're explaining everything and yourself and telling us its possible! That simple $15 squeegee may be just that to others, but to you! Its the metaphorical key to your fucking dreams!!!
Yes bro. Exactly.
Dudes a hustler no excuses 💪🏾🔥
You are a good speaker bro! Very motivational, thanks!
Thanks man you're welcome
Amazing and inspirational video that has changed my life already. You’re right - this business is freedom…ANY service based business but I think window cleaning is the one I want to give it my all in. Thank you for this wonderful intro to the window washing world, let’s get this bread 💸💸💸
Have you gotten into the business, and if so how is it going?
@@sparky7681 I am hoping to have things fully fleshed out going into the new year! I have been focused on digital marketing the past 11 months and got a new job + promotion since this comment. Hoping to get a job that pays from $75K-$85K within the next year on top of everything else increasing in my life
Thank you and God Bless!
I have never felt someone talk to me on such a deep level through a TH-cam video. This squeegee will change my life! Im going to go to Home Depot today to buy my first squeegee. Thank you, will keep you updated.
You got this!
You’re amazing Keith. I think if you decided to do stand-up I’d pay for it. No doubt! 🤣
😭😭😭😭😭 I went to that section in Home Depot today, bought 2 buckets, 2 brushes, and 2 squeegees for my friend and I. Thank you for this video.
How much did that all cost?
I like it AMIGO you're the master 👍👍👍
Mr kalfas you are God I'm inspired by you literally I went to home depot that day and I started a 350.00 job
Thats awesome. I'm a servant of God.
"this stupid ass mask" earned my respect instantly :)
Love the advice in this video. Other than a microfibre, I prefer cloth diapers. They are super absorbant, washable and reusable.
This guys legit thanks for the knowledge
Now this is an easy job to start and a quick way to make lots of money!
Thanks for sharing this info with us. I've thought about trying to get into it just a bit when the mowing season is slow... we'll see what happens
Hey, I'm in the same situation as you. How's it been so far during your winter season last year and this current one?
Thank you bro for the video, I have been scared but I am willing to learn new things and try..... I wanna start window cleaning company all the way from SOUTH AFRICA
you are awsome this is very inspiring thank you
Trust God and blessings will come🙏 like they say "Trust the Process" & have faith
I have noticed that when there is hard work to be done god has a nasty habit of not turning up . Human beings like me do the work and people like to give god the credit.
Thanks man! Very informative. I have my first window cleaning job tomorrow, any advice?
Unless you're just doing Commercial
...then that 'Trust Factor' about 'being inside' dissipates.
Great vid! 👀
GOD BLESS
🌿💕🌿
Oh and just for the record you need to do a TED talk that was the most motivational shit toward the end I’ve ever heard lol that was some deep philosophy bro for real best video I’ve seen all year
i recently started cleaning windows again ..i live in southern cali ..mojave desert ...
i am 52 .. i was trained by Paul friedrichs, he was a semi famous window guy when i was 26 in baton rouge la. he was famous for standing on the 6 inch ledge above the door at the mens club down town..funny thing is that his picture was in the paper and osha saw it and they got a huge fine..lol.. i hit the mall and a big job at a resterant here in rosamond ..a few monthly and a few weekly ..i am buying your book ...nuff said
I listen to the Casey Comden cassette tape multiple about 22 years ago. I remember it well.
Haha
I needed this vid man more than you even know. Thank you for it 🙏
Glad I could help
I want to see to overhead camera footage of the crazy man in the cleaning isle.....😂🤣
Loved the video fellow Michigander....
That is the most motivated video that i see
Your ability to communicate both the practical aspect and the human emotion behind starting a window cleaning business is incredible. I’m hugely grateful for this video
Sound advice as always
I was going to start a window cleaning business but when I went to get the tools there was this guy blocking them for 22 minutes.
Let’s gooo.!!!! You sir are inspiring.😂
Ur the man bro. Thumbs up
Wow, you dropped one of the sickest TH-cam videos. Real person with real advice. You don't see videos like this often. thank you.
Thank you very much. Means a lot.
Thanks bro, you are a master 🙏
Good man. Thank you for the wisdom 🙏
Any time
Seeing this in 2024! Thank you bro for all the insight and inspiration! I’m ready to go do this!
You got this!
bruh REAL and funny AF 😂💪🏿😎🤞🏿
They make the straight one for the high rise guys🔥
This is awesome man, I found this video after having an idea like this the other day. Did u get an llc and insurance right away?
*THURLE$T BRO ON THIS JAWN..SWAG IS OFF DA CHAIN..IM ON IT BRO!!*
Thank you so much. I am going to start the same in here. I need this because my salary is not cutting it.
Omg. Hi I'm Keith... Literally 😂🤣😂 I used to be a window cleaner. And did exactly what you did back in 2012. Spot on. But, I started with an actual company to begin with. They call guys without an "actual" business, "Bucket Bob". Lol
Btw, as an employee I cleaned approximately 10k+/- in invoices a week. Obviously I only banked 28% of that.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!
I’m flat broke as I got out of trucking 7 months ago. I got my insurance agent license and was looking for something that could make me money NOW as I hone my skills and that I could do as a freelancer.
I totally am onboard with this!!!
I’m going to Home Depot or Lowes TODAY with only $30-$50 in my pocket.
Haha yes!
@@WindowCleaningBluePrint My godmother actually loaned me over $200 to buy what equipment I needed at Home Depot to get what I needed for this.
I bought an 18” squeegee 18” microfiber scrubber, 14” scrubber, 12” swivel squeegee like in your video, a 25’ telescoping pole, 30 microfiber towels, microfiber applicator pads, safety glasses, a gallon of easy glide glass cleaner, a collapsible bucket etc
I’m advertising on craigslist, offer up, Nextdoor and soon Facebook and Instagram.
Let’s gooooo!!!!!
I do Canvassing. That's exactly how some homeowners act. Glad I Sales experience.
This is the most real advice I've ever heard from anyone brotha!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thx ! Bra blesses,
Forget the IWCA you could put Anthony Robbins on notice as a motivationl speaker... This is the best business motivational speech ever!!! Thanks no matter what industry... your words ring true and touched me as they touched so many others.. Thanks for sharing your journey and your path to success
Thank you and your welcome. I was the keynote speaker at the IWCA last year.
I love the IWCA.
Loved it
