Newby needs some advice here, hoping that someone will be willing to give me some insight on this.
Starting out, what would be a good figure for a sales goal for a first year pressure washer?
I realize that this business is really only limited to our enrergy, drive, creativity, salesmanship etc.. But if all things are equal, and a guy has the needed resources, what would be a realistic goal for the first year, then the second?
Let me also state that I plan on doing only residential in the first year and maybe the second year as well. By the third year, I would like to start some commercial work - but baby steps first.
I will be doing roofs, siding, concrete drives/walks as well as decks. Further, I will be working alone to keep expenses down and live in an area with many neighborhoods in the 150K - 300K value range.
I ask this question because I am looking for some way to measure my progress and to set financial goals for myself. Further, I need to plan this around my current full time job in another industry. A job that I am eager to make the break from to do this full time.
Any help with some realistic figure would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tim
