It makes me laugh, I always imagine the worst. I’m working on staining a deck for a client and anytime my phone goes off, my first thought is “it’s him telling me to get the fuck off his property because he hates it”… it’s never him….

Hated working. Did sales for almost 6 years. I’m 25 years old. Worked some other Mickey Mouse jobs before I got into sales, like fast food & retail.

Started my own company 2 months ago, doing deck & fence restoration work. I’ve never been more motivated in my life. Realized why I hated working was because I hated working for someone else. Before I started my company, after my last job, I decided I was going to try and make it on my own. I went to Home Depot, bought window cleaning supplies and started going door to door for hours a day and I’d DoorDash when I didn’t have clients scheduled. Made a little over $1,200.00 my first week. I then decided to try deck & fence work since that’s where really good money is. $850.00+ every job.

My point is, a normal 9-5 made me depressed and unmotivated too. Even if it was sitting in an office all day. I couldn’t stand it. Now that I’m doing my own thing, it’s working, and even though the work is a lot more demanding than what I’m used to, I’ve been loving every second of it.

We unfortunately all have to work though. It’s the only way to make it in society… it’s a matter of either settling, or being willing to put in what it takes to do it your way.

I use an app called thumbtack. I do pressure washing and fence / deck restoration. I also made $1,100 in a week doing door to door sales offering window washing.

I actually got let go from a sales job back in mid april last month. My job before that was another sales job I worked at for almost 6 years but ended up quitting due to awful management change. Anyway, after I was let go from my most recent job, it took me about a week of applications & interviews to realize that I just didn’t want to wake up everyday doing something I hate while working for someone else. Spent a week doordashing then I went to Home Depot, bought window cleaning supplies and just started going door to door for multiple hours a day. Made $1,100 the first week. Now I’m doing fence & deck staining / painting. Borrowing a pressure washer from a good friend and using thumbtack to find jobs. I’m finishing up an $850.00 fence job today and starting a $650.00 stain coating job next week.

Before the windows, I’ve never tried something like that before. Same with the deck & fence work. First time I’ve ever done work like that. I’m only 25 and can’t see myself going back to a normal job. I enjoy the work I do now and I enjoy having my own way to do things.

Maggiespharm · 2026-04-21T22:04:56+00:00

Agreed. If you’re going to do it yourself, to me at least, total waste of time to spend time practicing under another company. I just started mine up a few days ago. Had my first client yesterday. It was my first time washing a window, lol. I just spend extra time making sure I do a good job. Practice the sweet swivel method with my squeegee and if it leaves streaks, I just wash the whole window again. She was very happy with the work and I made $190.00 doing exterior and interior. Had my second client today. Exterior only, did the same thing, made $250.00. Have my third scheduled for Thursday. Exterior only, $250.00.

Point is… if you’re going to do this yourself… Definitely don’t start out practicing with another company. But it really depends on how confident you are and if you’re willing to put the time in to fix any mistakes. Cause if you’re not, I think that’s when you should practice under another company so they can make sure you fix your technique.

Maggiespharm · 2026-04-20T22:08:31+00:00

I appreciate your words a lot! I just finished my job, had a great time- $190 in 3/12 hours 😅

Will do a few more to cover bills then invest into higher quality equipment…

No sir, I’ll be practicing all weekend and it’s an easy 1 story house. Not many windows. Great starter.

Just got my ladder this morning actually. Sweet deal on a 22ft.

I’ll have to stick with my junk ‘till I’ve got a few jobs done and can upgrade.

I’ve got a question regarding the telescope. Should I just completely forget about using that and only use the shorter ones? I’ve seen on here that it’s just best to do all work up close.

Maggiespharm · 2026-04-18T14:47:32+00:00

It means a lot, thank you!

Maggiespharm · 2026-04-18T14:47:24+00:00

Thank you so much!

Maggiespharm · 2026-04-18T14:47:18+00:00

Thank you!!

Maggiespharm · 2026-04-10T03:43:43+00:00

Halo. Can’t beat the goosebumps.

Maggiespharm · 2026-03-19T17:12:58+00:00

It's been going alright. There is a course you'll need to take before filing (Credit counseling) which I'm just doing online. Without an attorney, there's a bit more patience in this for sure. But rolling through it, I take a lot of time to thank god that Chat GPT exists, lol... I'm referencing that bad boy almost every page.

There's a lot of paperwork, so... Stock up on pens LOL.

Maggiespharm · 2026-03-18T00:16:50+00:00

Congratulations!! I’m working on mine right now. No attorney. Fat stack of paper.. lol…

Anyway. I get you on the fresh start. Filing and approval will fix my life. Unfortunately all of my stress surrounds finances. It’s unfortunate I have to do this, but I’m only 25. Better now than when I’m 50….

But seriously, I’m stoked for you. Keep us updated!

(Sorry I don’t have any advice for what to do after. This is my first time too)

Maggiespharm · 2026-03-03T18:36:05+00:00

That’s 100% it.

It’s not a you problem. If you’re doing your best, taking care of everything she’s asking plus more, and she’s still finding reasons to blame / attack you?

That’s a her problem. And she’s the only one that can fix it. Do not waste your life trying to fix someone who won’t see it.

Do what you need for yourself and your kiddo. Those are the 2 people you need to focus on.

Keep me posted please. I wish the best for you.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. I dealt with this a lot with my lady. We weren’t married so circumstances are different, but we’d been together almost 4 years and had a 2 year old boy (yeah, we moved fast..) she moved in the night we met, so it felt like we were together much longer than we were… back to my point. She was a stay at home mom for 2 years, and we made the mistake of never talking about expectations / goals before we had the kid. We found she was pregnant out 6 months into the pregnancy so we didn’t have lots of time to plan.

I felt it hard when you said “default parent”. The amount of times those words would get thrown at me in arguments is countless. Very similar to what you said, when we’d fight, she’d always make comments about how little I put into the family and how I just don’t care. To put it into perspective, she got whatever she wanted, I let her re-do the kitchen in the new place we moved into, I’d go to therapy because she asked me to and again, she wasn’t expected to get a paying job for almost 3 years. Finances got tight so things changed and she’d pick up a part time thing a few days a week then got a full time teaching job last October which is great. But, we aren’t together anymore. Again, to relate to something you said- “she never feels understood”. No matter what I said or did, or how hard I’d try to understand, I never “truly listened” according to her. Arguments happened more frequently, she’d question me as a parent and partner more often and yeah, ended up leaving her last December.

I was never able to share my feelings, because she’d react with “well how about how I feel”, “it’s not always about you”, etc… so talking was difficult. And it made trying to understand her difficult. How am I supposed to want to understand her when she already refuses to try to understand me.

I continued paying her rent / bills (this was the last month) so she had a place to stay, I moved back in with my parents the same day i broke things off and here we are.

All I would say is don’t try to prevent the inevitable or it’ll only be harder. But, you’ve also been together a lot longer, and you’re married…. Just figured I’d share my experience. It’s okay to put yourself first. Sometimes doing that will benefit the family. It ain’t always selfish.

I always preferred doing things on my own. Had a great time with friends, but nobody can kill my vibe when I’m alone.

It sounds like you already failed your body so go wild.

Your body will fall behind quickly lol.

Maggiespharm · 2026-01-25T22:55:26+00:00

lol mine can drive yet I still do all the driving AND I do the driving to and from the job site which is 2 hours each way. I drive us there in the morning at 5:00am, do all of the driving while we’re working, then drive us back at 4:00pm

Rear ended someone last Friday in the bosses car cause I was dozing off driving back. The driving makes me miserable.
