Yes I did make a lot of cash and due to moving from a third world to a first world country you don’t get much pounds for your money. But we lived very well and went to many places till economic down turn and robberies and theft we lost a small fortune. Dut we rise from the ashes. That is properly why I will no moan because I have seen worse. But Thanks Even.

Gazza, i was trying to be straight with you, and yes i am humble.Many of things wizard mentioned i am very poor at, or merely average at.Lots would win promotion in a larger firm in front of me including the hippey.

I do have the best kit though. Many people have several vans, i only have one, but it is the best and holds the best two man domestic set up on here if your criteria is speed and earning. I could enumerate why but i'm sure you've heard this  from me before.

There are quite a few big head/braggarts on here but i think you'll find most of my bragging has to do with technical issues such as being first to crack a hot set up, first to sort electric rewinds, first to.......Again you've heard it all before.

The reason i come on the forum-apart from boasting- is to air my ideas and hear some from like minded people. I have got lots of ideas from here, and found out that some of my own ideas have been rubbish. You and other posters are as close as i get to having co directors who can rein me in.The fact that you cringe when i make certain (seen as bragging) comments is quite kind and well meant so thanks for that.

I'm okay, no probs or underlying agenda.

My fantasy is that the van would drive out on it's own and come back with the money, but that isn't going to happen. I invest in systems.I will spend hours to save minutes, and pounds to save pennies.Some disagree with this, including several very successfull businesses on here.I never try to argue that i am right, or that my way is better. I make loads of mistakes, i have an expensive pressure washer i never use for one, i could go on and tell you ten more mistakes. However alongside that some of  my successes have been blinding.

I'd say mistake. I've toyed with the idea myself and thinking about it, its more hassle than its worth. Another van, more kit, more insurance, holiday pay..... the list goes on.

Mac-mac,

How are you able to price up jobs and meet customers and still earn if you havent got employees keeping the ship afloat whilst you are away?

Id be working atleast a day a week unpaid if it was for employees and then I wouldnt even be able to do the jobs that I was pricing on time if it wasnt for them.
