Cant be any worse working 40 hrs a week in a cold warehouse for minimum wage lol . Doesnt get any easier as you get a little older :-\

The more you tell us the more we can help.

I had a round few years ago with good prices all built up by myself which I sold . I realise now how much I miss the freedom and good income . So just wondering what to expect from my canvasing efforts this time . I know I can find the customers , but am unsure of pitching the same prices as before , because obviously things have changed !

I find things are a little over traded so finding custys more of a job and getting a round close to each other becoming more dificult. Lot of under cutting and more windies out there. You just need to read threads back the last year and see the difference in attitude of us all. The established shiners seam to do well but the newbies do battle and that’s if they don’t bull poope.

Think it comes down to being confident about yourself , and not being scared of rejection .

Thats a big part.Most even successfull ones struggle with that.
I think be bolder than last time not more timid. I bet you did lots wrong, this is your chance to do it better. Read some of ian lancasters back posts.

Well sometimes you dont realise what you have till its gone ! I sold my round due to unbelievable stress I was going through at the time , but now looking back my life was much easier then LOL .

If you want late life or second chance inspiration google steve jobs and read his story- he wasn't a window cleaner of course, or the old colonel lazy git, didn't work a tap till he was 66, then he started the kentucky chicken chain.
