Hey all:

Hope your weekend is going well. I just had to post this email that I received this morning from a window cleaner. I think it’s a great motivator and I think it goes to show that even though these are hard economic times, if we target the right market for our window cleaning business, our business will not experience slowdowns like many other businesses are facing. It’s all in the target market. Here’s the email:

Hi Steve,
 
Thanks for everything. Have a great weekend.  And just a side note. The only change I see in my business is that I am busier.  I personally feel that the people who get there windows cleaned on a regular basis are not going to stop using the services they regularly have done for there residence.  Other than the cost of gas and some increases in some other items they are not affected the the mortgage mess because they are not part of it.  The stock market may be down, but it does not affect them because they are not short term traders. The only thing they may do is have there broker buy more shares or shift a portion of there money to more profitable investments.  Basically, the high end window cleaning customer is squared away.  They live in nice homes, they have nice cars, they have vacation homes, there children go to the best schools, and they rely on a vast array of service professionals to keep there standard of living at a high level.  Long story short, business is booming if you have the right clientele.

Have a great weekend,
John
 
P.S.  Recession, what recession. Recessions are for wimps!

My Notes: Gotta love the "recessions are for wimps" statement.  I wrote an article not too long ago about the economy and the window cleaning business. Here’s the article if you haven’t read it yet. So don’t buy into all the negative talk out there. If you do, you’ll end up with a case of "Stinkin thinkin". And then it WILL sink your window cleaning business.

Cheerio,

Steve
