My brother and dad both work in Iraq now in the oil industry under armed guards and they work 6months a year tax free coming home with 100k a year.
My friends always ask "why dont you do that and live a great life with lots of money"
My simple answer is " because you dont need a lot of money to enjoy your life! I will be quite happy when im older to have a nice house, nice car and watch my kids grow up"

at the end of the day the more you earn the more you spend anyway... So work as much as you need to to enjoy your life:)

He drives a P reg Vauxhall Omega and his wife drives a 53 reg Ford Fiesta.

Your friends will possibly be bodyguards?
My dad is the manager of an oil field in Basra, and my brother is the lead Engineer. They need the security guards to escort them into the compound from the airport.

Where I would like to be within the next 2 years:

3 vans on the road.

1 operator per van.

2 vans out 5 days a week.

1 van out 3 days a week - with me in it.

It would give me 2 days a week for scheduling, quotes etc.. and 3 days out working new cleans, extras etc..

I think it would be a nice manageable profitable business if it works out that way.
