Title: Happy?
Post by: Davo on January 27, 2008, 12:26:53 pm

Are you happy with  the customers you have?

Do you feel you earn enough ( hourly rate wise) from your work?

Would you like an add on to your business? and if yes what would that add on be?

Spent this year getting things in shape - can't complain now.

There's always room for improvement though. ;)

I generally have good customers so i am happy with them and earn a decent amount from them is it enough? NO its never enough so i have to increase prices and get better work but dont have time for anything else apart from window cleaning
