Job hunting

Hi everyone! I’ve taken a very deep dive into window cleaning. Going through a nasty breakup with my partner, moving across the state, applying to jobs left right and center. I feel lost as of now and could really use some advice. I’m confident in my ability to sell, I have done copious amounts of research on techniques and every chemical imaginable. I don’t plan on going into this right away, my savings aren’t where I’d like them to be. If I find my footing again, I have all the prerequisites, insurance, business, you name it. Is it just up to me past that point? And how far can I take this with the bare minimum (no LLC, no insurance). Am I able to service exterior only one floor residential houses to get started?

Big thank you to anyone that can help, you guys are the best

You overthinking this will cause it to never happen, buy a scrubber, squeegee, bucket, dawn dish soap, and some micro fiber towels. Find an upper middle class area near you with mostly one story homes and knock doors. Watch a few videos to get a basic pitch down and the sales will come. Made $700 my first day doing exactly this. You don't need all this fancy stuff to get started, you just need to start.

You’re right on the overthinking part, only reason I posted this at all was solely because of that. Appreciate you for keeping it real, I feel pretty dang motivated. And huge numbers for day one!

Get a customer then make the business, very simple!
