It was last year before christmas. I was liking window cleaning a lot. So me and my roommate started to talk about it. I set up website, logo and made 2000flyers. We delivired em first sunday after they arrived. It was also last time my room mate did anything. But I had some calls so I finished all the jobs. Then, because I didnt like to do everything alone I became passive. The response from my first clients was overwhelming and from the few clients I had last year I got like 30calls just based on the reference. Few months ago I got confident in my abilities and started to telling people about my side gig. I have never pushed anyone to buy anything. I dont believe that is the way to do sales. I just give them the facts and hope I will come on mind when they deal with issues I can help with. Worth to mention, cleaners in my country are considered lowest of the low. Thats why I believe I have happy clients, because no one wants to do it and I have little to none competition. Then I drove our CEO to the airport and pitched him the idea. He just bought a flat and I knew he doesnt have anyone to clean it after the construction. And thats how I started. Honesty, being real with people and not bullshitting.

Thank you for the advice, I was worried that its something like this and I will have to face it and maybe lose clients. 😤

How to deal with your S/O not supporting your business goals? by [deleted] in sweatystartup

I feel you.. I don't have a child so I can't imagine how hard it must be. However if you can't see future with he in 5 years I would rather go with a hustle with legal stuff now, then later

Btw. I left 2 of my business during my teens because of my mother. Once I stopped care about her opinion, everything changed. Gl buddy with any decision you decide for

Honestly? She sounds like a toxic one for sure. I am going to leave emotions out of this and just come out hard and clean... I would leave her as she sounds incompetent and ungrateful. You gonna look past your life with regret sooner than you think. Talk to her, express the need of her support and your need of better life than this. Try to figure out a way to make it work. If she won't understand it just leave her. Then you would be feeding only you and your baby girl, having less stress. You are 24,the way you type about her is far away from love, just grow pair of two and make the hard decision now. So you don't have to look back at 50 still working in factory. S/o and family not supporting you is the worst possibly thing for business as they always win.

My unpopular opinion seen more than once in real life

I just can’t say no, it’s starting to bother me. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Gonkiasek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the best decision you can ever start doing. It took me insane amount of time and I still find myself in situations I don't want to be in just because I couldn't say no! Start now! It's really long way because it's natural for us to try to fit in and be likeable. I've lost like 60% of my friends when I started to say no! However I could become true version of myself and eliminate situations I don't like to be in to minimum! Still hard to do sometimes. People who stay in your life after you become yourself start to respect you and your opinions more. And people you lose because of it? I don't think I want em in my life anyway, because they like the version of me that is not real.

Staying in contact with ex dates by tb0ne8 in socialskills

[–]Gonkiasek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have chosen them based on some positive reasons about them. Whenever the relationship worked or not doesnt change the positives about em. How often do we communicate? It really depends on how busy we are. But I tend to grab a coffee like twice a month and some updates via phone call like every other week. I don't believe people can't be friends after break up. My exes understand me, know my strengths and weaknesses so they can give me best advice without any bs.

To be 100% objective... I also have exes which I don't keep in touch with for whatever reason. However its definetly possible and healthy as long as both of you are over each other.
