My SOLUS 500R story

I am just wondering if he will be saying this is not a good business for his highly evolved skills and insight.  When he fails, will he blame himself as he should or blame people and circumstances for his downfall?

SS is not his competition.  That honor goes to Rug Doctor. 

He seems like a former civil servant of some kind.  Amazing how he believes he holds all the answers.  Are we seeing the second coming of Joe Polish?

Duck: Didn't you read SOIL LINTs post? He is a high priced call girl by his own analogy. Nothing wrong with it provided he's got the clients.

Based on an average week of 40 hours I gross $2,000.00. Breaks down like this: (12K SF per week / 2,400 SF per day / 12.5 cents SF / 400 SF hr (2 jobs per day / 3.5 hours per job).   Of that, 1280.00 is after tax profit and the remaining 720.00 covers everything including taxes, insurance, cleaning supplies, office supplies, machine maintenance and a business growth fund.

You guys are missing something (I think). I operate under a sole proprietorship. With no payroll. That means insurance is cheaper. And my porty is less expensive to operate even using full strength cleaners.

This 40 hour week nets 5K in my pocket. That might be chump change to some but not me. And because I charge a lower rate means I have been able to secure two very nice contracts. Why my business plan has your shorts tied up in knots is really ridiculous. I don't even live close to Beverly Hills. What I charge is right for the local economy. I'm done explaining my business model. Why don't you break yours down for me?    

I'm sorry how many years have been in business MBCC?

I don't want to butt in, but you seem to be flaunting a "business model" that has yet seen the test of time.  Come back in two years and tell about your success story.  Until then shut up and listen to some of us folks that have been around a while. You don't have to listen or want to believe everything you hear here, but a lot of it works.  Sure there is plenty of sarcasm and some BS to go along with it, but if you don't like it and don't want any advice from some professionals that have been in the industry more than 4 months, then go away.  Otherwise stick around and learn something. 

Dont reinvent the wheel.  Help improve it, but only after you fully understand it.
May the force be with you.

lol, good luck with that.    

MB - sharing mine or any other businesses plan with you is stupid for three main reasons and hundreds of smaller ones.

1.  The good Lord saw fit to give each of us TWO ears and ONE mouth so we could LISTEN twice as much as we talk.  You make it a contest between your ears and mouth with the mouth running off hoping to keep up with your ears i.e. any advice we gave you would be falling on deaf ears as we have all seen.

2.  The good book says "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear" meaning since you are at the heart of your 'business' problems nothing will make it a viable business.

3.  The good book also says don't cast pearls before swine.  And frankly with the way you are trying to hog all of the attention around here as if you were a seasoned professional makes your character flaws obvious.

Bottom line is no one wants to help you survive because even in business the strong survive and the genetic defects are weeded out.  Is any of this sinking in yet or like a mule do you require someone hit you harder up the side of your head with a 2x4?

When does your new book come out?  'How I Succeeded To Fail In Business Without Really Learning Anything' should make for short reading. 

Grow a brain, shut that diarrhea mouth of yours up and listen for a change.   As the good book says 'it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt'.

And look at this genius - in your 40 hour work week ( as if you actually clean 40 hours every week) I make $6000.  Is that obscene?  No, we call it business.  The purpose of a business is to give back to the community served by creating jobs and not by being all about numero uno.  How are you stimulating the economy of the marketplace you serve?  You do understand that macro economics is learning to see past the tip of your nose you have stuck up some place we don't care to mention, right?

I wouldn't bother responding to him at this point he is obviously either insane or mentally handicapped (potentially both). I don't think anything sinks in with this character.  Its probably best we just leave him be to his own devices.  He has become openly just plain rude and does not want any help.  Just ignore him.

I say good day to you sir.

You're right Fuzz.  His attitude is due to his lack of common sense and a heavy reliance on an model he keeps playing 'what-if' with in Excel.  He is in a fantasy world with all his favorite storybook characters in lah-lah land.  He is already telling us all we are full of BS, next step will be to tell us he found a better crowd to hang out with.  We should let him go talk to his new friends Mickey, Minnie and that brainchild Goofy.  Does the MBCC stand for Might Become a Carpet Cleaner or possibly Mama's Boy Carpet Cleaning or Me Be Carpet Cleaner? 

His true nature came out, we succeeded.
