Title: whats on your Christmas list and/or new year list ?
Post by: Window Washers on December 06, 2012, 11:49:03 am
as it is festive season,(or freezing at least)

I was wondering whats on your christmas list for your business (personal too if you want if they mix together)

and so the guys that dont celebrate christmas can add to this (which i know are many of you), whats on your list for the rest of the year and new year ?
be it goals, over indulgence, ego boosting, or a new pole, hot system whatever.

Have you even made a list yet ?

I will start it off.

20,000 flyers of mixed designs
hot system for new cleans and extras
Crew cab truck
an ipad34
microphone for recording (Mode or similar)
androd tablet to test apps
new invoices
3 new websites
new social media
new automated sales funnels
New uniform
new work system

If all of these get here at christmas I will be a happy happy man, but at least I have a list and all will be ticked off just maybe not the truck im undecided on which way to go.

Whats on your list ?

Ok, here is some:

Ipad 4  ;)
New van inc hot system - imminent!
Holiday for 2 weeks with wife and baby, first as a family, somewhere nice and warm.
A unit, outgrowing my garage, the gear quickly accumulates.
Another business for me, and expand the wife's so she can concentrate solely on that.
More time away from the office with my family.
A part time accountant/admin person.
Some more Sonos bits, getting addicted.
Buy another property.

Can't think of many more at the moment.

Good luck with that! Haha! Equipment we use is not entirely suitable for what it is used for, so, if you manage to go a full year, without buying anything, unless you have an extensive range of spares, then you're either not working hard enough, or you wrap it in bubble wrap before, during and after each job.

Can`t be done Dazmond,i did try but the self indulgence defect of character keeps needing a release down in Cornwall.You`ll do well to get to spring without an extreme pole in your van.Do it now,a xmas present to yourself!
