If I asked you if you'd go back to ladder work Daz you'd sound like a reformed smoker

when I did my business start up course the advisor said that if you plan working 40 hour week then to work the price out for 24 hours, as a percentage you will only average 60% doing what makes you money and reading the results and my own findings that is a pretty accurate predication

[dazmond]

go back to ladders full time?not a chance!!

im getting my schedule done in 3 and a half days a week with wfp compared to 5 days on the ladders.i reckon ill speed up a bit more to say 3 days a week.im going after a few bigger jobs and enjoying the rest of the time off.im keeping my round bang up to date with ease at the moment(and thats over 300 customers!).

im well happy with the way its going at the moment!

its a part time business now!!plenty of room for better bigger jobs!!

he reckoned it applied to all trades be it window cleaner, joiner, mechanic, plumber and its a handy tool when working out your pricing, as new starts think £10x 40 sounds good but in fact £10x 24 doesn't sound half as attractive, so when I read claims of how much an hour I can understand why people get confused as you dont earn that amount for 40 hours
