To be honest, for the past year-or-so the challenge of setting up a window cleaning round has began to diminish since I got a half-decent work load up-and-running.
Anyway, I'm feeling bored with it; I'd like to do something else a couple of days per week, that'll give me a regular income come rain-or-shine, whether I have to 'chase the cheque', or not. Something that I can do a couple of days per week; and clean windows for the remainder. I'm not sure if I can see myself being a full-time window cleaner when I'm in my fifties (I'm 38 years old now; though you'd never think I was that old if you saw me).
I'm actually considering becoming a self-employed mortgage advisor (I know I know); I can afford the training (it's a distance learning package and the total costs including three exams is about 1K); but in the meantime working as part-time Mortgage Introducer, which basically means I push leaflets through people's doors and follow any leads up to pass onto the company employing me. I would like to think that if I was a self-employed mortgage advisor, it'll give me a sneaky preview into how some market themselves.
I'm also considering flogging gas and electricity for SWALEC a couple of days a week. I've been asked to do this a few years ago by a window cleaning customer who works for this energy supplier. He said a 'good looking chap like me could earn a fortune',
(honest to Allah).
I could also do security work; it's low paid; usually, but easy work - a regular income - and an SIA is fairly cheap to get.
I'm just about to do a CV for the Mortgage Introducer (aka leaflet distributor).
So do any of you have part time jobs? What are they? Am I just having a low moment and should give myself a good shaking?
