I agree Miko, its MY business, I work for MYSELF, not other people, and I choose the way I run my business,. Once you let customers dictate to you, then you have lost control and are no longer a business person, but an employee, and the customer is the boss.
I'm like the majority of posters on this thread, I turn up regular, do a decent job for a fair price, and if anyone doesn't like the way I operator wants to change things around, there;s the door. Last time round in one area, this guy, who works for a tv company, big 4 bed detached house , double garage, 2 cars, huge conservatory, says, can we use you a bit less? say 3/4 times a year? just trying to cut expenses, incidentally ,his Mrs works for same company, and is regular in front of the cameras. I said no, but can do each second visit if you want? Anything less than that, then I can't keep you on, I need to know how much work I have to do each day/week He agreed, so we'll see how long it lasts.
