Still here guys

Nice to know your thinking of me ;D

Work has took a bit of a back seat lately as my other half has just given birth to twins, so iv been trying to be around at home more have stopped every single form of advertising months and months ago but am still getting a good couple of jobs a week through repeat and referall.

Think i actually might preffer it this way as allthough my turnover has halved i aint paying for no leaflets or distribution, no adwords no distribution costs no yp nothing, very little in the way of diesle or chemicalls and the wear and tear on the machine and van has obviously halved as well.

Il be honest and say that at the minute things are so mad at home that i havent got a clue what any of my figures are (takings or expenditure ???) but i wouldnt be suprised if im actually better off like this.

Will probably ramp my workload up again in the near future, but for now im enjoying being semi retired for another month or two ;D

Red

well done on the twins

Regarding the marketing you have hit the nail right on the head.

finding way to market at little or very low cost is where its at. investing in ideas that can keep repeating over and over for little extra cost.

As you said working to pay the marketing bills takes it far share of your earnings. I am sure that if you found two or three new low cost ways then you would be in a better position than before when you where working at it.

respect and well done again

I know you're a realist Dan, but planning a completed family at the first attempt. That's impressive !

Congratulations Red.

I reckon you deserve a bit of a break anyway. You pushed very hard over your first year or so to get your T/M in record time. You will probably go back full time with far more energy.
