he did say "I" wouldnt work "for" someone for less than that amount. And im guessing that is because he is experiencing the advantage of being self-employed and wouldnt work for someone else for less than that amount. im guessing everyone here thinks the same.

But for a minute i also thaught that he was meaning he pays someone that price  :D

my old boss payed that money between £700 - £1300 a week and that still wasnt enough sometimes considering the amount we used to do it was slave labour.

Steve cm dems good wages man. I know one of your main competitors and he pays 300 take home. So I expect your staff are good and if they have any sence they'll stay. Not sure about your yp strategy, but i haven't had long enough to think of a sensible answer.

Just been reading bransons new book (tenner in tesco's), very good on branding, might give you a few ideas.

Most of my domestic work is around that figure, obviously commercial work is more.
