Best of luck! I'm starting out too and next week is the crunch for me as i'm starting the canvassing.

Make sure you read all the topics and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Best of luck!

Paul.

Unless you intend on not paying tax's, insurance ::)

If you do go window cleaning, its best not to let on too much on here. :-X

Post by: paulatkins on March 05, 2009, 05:30:04 pm: im not sure thats why im on here for information. maybe it would be best to look for part time employment with a window cleaner first. i cant give up my three days at royal mail,its a secure placement.

Post by: paulatkins on March 05, 2009, 05:41:48 pm: as said in first post maybe to be shown the ropes ect, this wasnt what i was building up to but i may as well go ahead and ask....do you have any part time work? although the guy from stotfold is probably a little closer to travel just to learn.

but a little put off by what the guy said about taxes ect,not sure about that.
