Then realising the cleaner didn't do that good a job even though he took a whole 10 minutes to do the entire house, and the amount you paid means he's probably on a lot more per hour than you. I'm in the wrong business.
Maybe not the best sub to put this in but I'm not totally sure where else to ask.
The song in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfmAeijj5cM
Specifically, the chords he used. I'm unable to find anyone who has listed the chords for it in the key he played it in, it never sounds right when played along to the song. Most of them seem to be in the key of C which I don't believe is correct and I'm starting to think he was using a different tuning.
Edit: I finally found someone with the right* chords here.
*There's also a sort of studio version, which has easier chords: here.
So I try to do a cleaning meditation everyday and I've missed a few this week, but what I do is I basically visualize and try to feel my body being a body of light, and each of my chakras a burning white star as bright as can be.
Usually I feel pressure or shaking yeah, but today I felt stabbing pains in my top 2 chakras followed by a burning sensation in my throat, like I was swallowing acid. Does anyone know why this is so? I've recently gotten in a few big arguments with people so I'm thinking it's that energy directed to me, so I'll be doing so reverse curse spells but just wanted a second opinion
Edit: I should add it didn't go away right away. Even now I still feel it a bit 15 mins later

Its crazy how time flies.
Hello everyone, I'm a millennial (please don't hold it against me) and I hate my day job. So I started a cleaning business this week.
I'm focusing on window washing right now since I have window experience, but I'd like to be able to offer other types of cleaning services as well. I just landed my first real job, washing the windows for a tiny office once a month! I'm so stoked but I'm freakin out! There is SO MUCH I don't know.
This little tiny window job has a handful of windows that will take me no longer than 30 minutes to clean and I'm charging $40 for the whole job each cleaning. I feel like it's too much? But after talking with the owner and looking over their windows with them, they agreed to the price and seemed fine with it. I'm just not confident enough in how to price all this stuff.
Any words of wisdom for a newbie??? I don't even know what the question is anymore haha, thanks in advance!
I don't know exactly what I am wanting out of this post. I think it's mostly (or completely) therapeutic. I was in the process of starting a carpet cleaning and restoration business on the side with intentions of quitting by the end of this year but this timing is terrible. I'm starting with window cleaning because it could easily be a part of the carpet cleaning business but has little start up cost now.
Edit Thank you everyone for the encouragement, advice and even the offers to help me. I am going to be taking many of you up on it. It may be this evening before I am able to get back to each of you but I will keep this post updated.
A little more background info on me. I do not have any formal education beyond high school. I have been working in the electronic security industry (security systems, fire systems, access control, cctv) for the last ten years. I started out as a technician and worked my way up to running operations and sales for one of the most profitable districts for one of the largest companies in the country in just about 5 years. I have relocated four times in the last 2 and 1/2 years (three mergers) with the last one being just a few months ago on my own dime because my family loved Florida and wanted to get back to the place that we love. In order to keep my job with the company with this recent relocation I had to step down from management and take a sales position (as it was my decision and not at the request of the company). As a part of the most recent merger I just found out through some of my management friends that I will be let go either this week or next week. Like I said in my original post, I am very scared but I know that I will make it in the long run. To quote one of my best friends when he was in a similar situation, "I'm a bad MFer and I will be just fine."
Thanks again everyone. I look forward to getting more info from each of you this evening.
SECOND EDIT
I am taking a short break for a bite to eat at my house. I have made two sales today. One is a Mexican place that just had their windows cleaned last week and is unhappy with his current guy. I am doing it on Saturday morning for $65 this time and will do it for $140/month going forward. Should take about 2 1/2 hours each time once I am up to speed. Once I am done eating I am cleaning a small fitness center for $36. I just finished cleaning a Hallmark a few doors form the fitness center for free because I could not convince him to l

Mr muscle window cleaner is better than anything I've ever used for cleaning the phone it comes up brand new one feels smooth as silk.
Stuff:
I am promoting myself as the 'high end home' specialist. Even though I have just under a month of experience I am selling my company as the best window cleaning company in the world. Getting the windows clean is easy, it just takes a little longer than I would like sometimes.
Generating sales. I am generating enough to pay the bills currently but not enough to hire someone to do the work for me yet. This will be the biggest challenge for me to overcome (I think). It's what I am working towards. I will just have to burn the midnight oil until I get there.
Dealing with the emotional rollercoaster. One day I feel like I am going to conquer the world and the next day I am discouraged and think about getting a job and doing the 'safe thing'. I'm not going to give up but this is a real emotional struggle for me.
Quoting jobs correctly: Some of the work that I have completed has been quoted very well and others terribly. It's a combination of two things: 1. I am simply quoting some of it wrong. 2. Even when I charge the right amount I am slow at this so the hourly rate is not where it needs to be. This will correct itself with a little more time and education on my part. I'm looking at it as paid on the job training.
A redditor did an interview with me for his new blog. You can see it here. A couple of the details are wrong but the overall article paints the correct picture: http://mutinyafoot.com/index.php/2017/02/06/bobby-walker-going-from-manager-to-founder/#more-68
I mentioned to a redditor in my last post that I have started a video blog tracking my journey. If you want to follow along you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTS3WLs0t2stlWFaqTzP2mQ
My husband and I have been married for a little over a year and we both work full time. My work is 45 minutes away from home, 4-5 days a week while he only works 15 minutes away, 4 days a week so he usually gets home/is home long before I am. This hasn't been too much of an issue until the past two months.
I've switched from driving every day to working from home 2 days a week. Since the change my husband has gotten pretty hostile about 'how messy' the house is when he gets home from work. He usually gets home around 3 or 4 PM. When I say messy, I mean the floor hasn't been vacuumed, there might be some dishes in the sink, and the laundry isn't done. It's not like we live in a pig sty. He seems to think that since I'm technically 'home all day' I should have had time to clean the house too. I've tried explaining to him that I'm working that whole time (8 AM to 5 or 6 PM) unless I get food. It's not like I'm laying around all day and I don't want to lose payable hours or be dishonest with my employers. I've also told him multiple times that I'm happy to help clean once I'm off the clock.
When I am off the clock though he's already done most of the cleaning, which is fine. That was his choice, I offered to help and he didn't want to wait an hour or two for me to finish work. This week though he's taken it as far as to start throwing away dirty dishes and other items if I don't help right then. I almost want to go back to working at the office every day just to get him off my back.
He grew up in a house where his mom was a stay at home mom and literally does EVERYTHING around the house. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, finances, child raising, everything. While his dad would go to work, come home, and play video games. I can't help but wonder if this has something to do with it. Am I the asshole for not having everything clean and ready for him before he comes home from work or dropping everything right then to help out?
>Monty Williams on if coaches are going back to suits: “I hope not. I hope we don’t. Holy smokes. We’ve had a few coaches that have voted for it and I’m just like, ‘What are you guys talking about?’ None of us can dress and your dry cleaning bill is like gone.”
>Monty said that suits these days are so tight it feels like he’s wearing saran wrap. Called it a win. Can just wash and go and not worry about players sweating on his suit.
