ISSUE TEASER FOR EDITION #270:

Ladders might seem simple, but that’s exactly what makes them dangerous. In “Ladder Safety,” Matt Johnson breaks down why even seasoned pros get too comfortable on the rungs and how that complacency leads to costly, sometimes life-changing accidents. From essential inspection habits to smart alternatives like water-fed poles, Johnson’s no-nonsense advice is a must-read for any window cleaner serious about protecting their crew, their business, and themselves.

Tired of cheesy motivational quotes? You’re not alone. In “Inspirational Quotes for People Who Don’t Like Inspirational Quotes,” Gabriel Gutierrez takes a refreshingly honest look at success, discipline, and what it really takes to run a business. Skipping the sugarcoated clichés, he shares a handful of quotes that actually resonate with real-world entrepreneurs, the kind who value grit, growth, and getting it done over hype and hashtags.

Winter doesn’t have to mean slowdown; it can mean strategy. In “How We Plan Our Calendar Around the Slow Season,” Gabe Salinas of Window Ninjas shares how his team keeps their trucks rolling and their schedules full when most window cleaners are struggling for work. From pre-booking tactics to mindset shifts that turn downtime into opportunity, Gabe breaks down the leadership habits and smart sales conversations that transform the “off-season” into your most productive months yet.
