In the past 30 years I’ve encouraged several cleaners start their own successful pressure washing businesses. A smart young person will gain experience from an established pressure washing contractor by working in the field. As soon as he or she is comfortable with the trade, there is little reason to continue as an employee.
When starting a power washing business, you cannot be afraid of hard work. Most people who go into business for themselves have dreams of sitting behind a desk or just supervising their own work crews. There is nothing wrong with this approach but I’ve learned that a smarter approach, especially during poor economic times is to work solo. With hard work, a small operation can prove to be most profitable. To make it in business, one needs a good daily schedule and must be a dependable worker. The simple fact of the matter is that when working for yourself, there is no one to take up any slack. But being your own boss has many rewards
