Our work is always increasing, but how comes we don't wanna stop taking customer's on and earning more?
When is enough, enough??
-
If you stopped taking on new customers, eventually you’d have no customers as the cancellations will always slowly happen.
Oh and greed and the human greed of always wanting more.
-
I noticed you said ‘we’ Unless you want to keep growing and you aren’t fussed about going VAT registered, when it comes to saturation point it’s time to sell off some work, there is also more scope to refine your work, when you pick up good work ditch the dross.
-
Always refining round so cannot say enough is enough.
Mind you, enough is enough, if you get problem clients . They get binned 😁.
-
Enough is never enough.
Unless you are a monk sat meditating in some forest with no money to his name but is blissfully happy.
The rest of the modern world will never be happy and sacrifice their enjoyment of life for the endless pursuit of money. Letting health suffer along the way.
Then when you get to your death bed you will wish you had lived like the monk.
Theres quite a simple solution to wanting more money and thats to remove or reduce your desires.
If you have no wants and needs then you have no problems and no need for money above the basics to survive.
I once spent 9 months on the dole, went fishing a lot and the gym. Money aside it was great.

I rarely take on new work now, just the odd one now and then. I probably average 4 days a week at 6 hours a day and that's where I intend to stay. My goal was to reach a good work/life balance and be happy. I achieved it.👍
I'm not one to chase after the wind.
-
I’ve got enough money and work thanks.

not as a sole trader no

I’ve got enough money and work thanks.
But are you going to turn down a job well paid and next to a existing job??
Most wouldn't, easy money.
-
Work to live not live to work.
Balance life vs work. As long as you have enough money coming in to pay bills, have a backup emergency fund, pension plan and to enjoy life then what more do you need?
I would be surprised if anyone on their death bed said 'I wish I had worked more' :D

yep i do ,if its next to a existing job it aint going to be any higher
i just say no

the last few years have been the happiest ive ever been with my round/earnings and work/life balance.....now its just a case of tweaking a few prices from time to time and taking a few jobs on every so often(usually at a slightly higher price)as we all lose customers over the course of a year (usually because of moving/dying)......its a great place to be...long may it continue...... :)

I’m the same but looking to go down to 3 days in the next 2 years
-
Keep going until you go vat registered, which you will if you run a couple of vans. Then decide if you want more hours, more staff, more bills , more agro, potentially more money eventually .....or get rid of a few. You may even find yourself running away from any potential new customers . Depends on the person I suppose
-
It’s always been a dossers job hence the stigma and when are you gonna get a proper job jibes,if we didn’t need the “money” 99% of people wouldn’t clean windows.

A property developer from London paid me £150.00 to smash two windows with my 47 Xtreme pole on a building they owned in Bristol that was being used as a squat (true story) not as easy to break a window as you'd think when you want to 😖😋

Did you not break your xtreme too?
I would of politely declined......not worth the risk of damaging a few sections

Nothing got damaged Daz the windows were already broken by the squatters that had just been evicted, ground and first floor had metal shutters fitted but the council deemed the broken glass hanging out the two windows on the second floor unsafe and insisted the developer who was London based acted quickly, they paid me upfront before I arrived and it took ten minutes to knock the remaining glass out the window sweep up and put into the bin. Got the job through my website and the opening question went something along the lines of "do you work in Bristol? "do you have a long pole?? 8)
