Happy New Year! "Window Cleaning Guy" here with a 2017 update and 2018 goals. entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

Alright, if you dont know my story you can see my previous posts in this subreddit. Short version is that I was losing my job last Jan and I started a window cleaning company on a whim.

We finished 2017 with over $140,000 in revenue.

Our goal for 2018 is $400,000 in gross revenue.

My greatest weakness has been bookkeeping so I just hired a bookkeeper and feel SOOOOOOO much less stressed as a result.

This year I will be making a video post at the beginning of each month outlining our monthly goal required to hit our $400,000 target as well as a brief review going over the previous months success/failure. Here is this months video: https://youtu.be/VmqdJPJKrEA

Here is a short video that briefly explains how we came up with each months goals as we did not simply divide 400,000 by 12: https://youtu.be/ELGidgNtlT8 I used some numbers from a company that was kind enough to share some of their records with me that has been doing the same sort of business in my area for 20 years for my monthly % projections.

Using the "Profit First" method we will be setting a 5% company profit for Q1 and will evaluate/adjust as the year goes. If you are not familiar with the book "Profit First" go read it!

As a preemptive strike to all of the "How can I do this" and "What's the secret" questions that I am about to get in my inbox I have recorded a couple of short videos to answer your questions here: https://youtu.be/7BS7UIJFPQE https://youtu.be/eDfF6f_jALA

2017 was amazing for me. I started the year simply trying to survive and I now have a goal and plan to dominate my local market. Thanks to this subreddit for the help and encouragement!

Feel free to ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer.

P.S. We are more of a pressure washing company now as roughly 66% of our revenue comes from pressure washing.
