By people I take it you mean employees? Thats the whole problem with trying to get people to work for you. They don't have your motivation. Why should they?

Some window cleaners manage to put togeather a good crew but even then it only holds good until the bosses back is turned. Then they take the p1ss like all the rest.

There have been other threads along these lines. You are far from alone, believe me.

Hi Busted.

No it not a bad thing its pride.

Remember its your buisness & name at stake & not theirs.

Is it worth all the grief employing some one. If you get a good crew then yes but it could also be your downfull.

Maybe the best thing you could do is talk on the phone to someone like Trevor to get some pointers.

If you employ people to make more money for yourself then its a problem you have to live with.

If quality is the be all and end all then work as a oneman band or withsome one you tust.
