Positive few weeks
« on: March 04, 2011, 09:08:48 pm »
Well last year or maybe more ive been down in dumps with work...not bothered, not wanting to push it. Selling my vans, (what an idiot)  :'( employees messing things up...

Well this year given myself kick up backside been working hard, and its showing again  :) work coming in daily again like it used to, everyone happy. Been keeping on top of customers, in right time scale, some a little early but no one said anything.

Had a letter of a new custie that was there when we did it "i was delighted with the thoroughness of your work, please add me to regular cleans, thank you very much". Another customer rang me to come and do them again after about a year, when the first time i went she had a heart attack with the price...but obviously happy with the job, half way through husband came round and asked me to do it every couple of months...chuffed   ;)

Just saying that, when your positive and wanting to work hard, things follow...when you cant be arsed and dont care...it shows.

Keep positive everyone.

Good post mate!
Im in a similar position to you from starting out from scratch in April 2010. Now nearly 12 month later after a lot of hard work and determination i have a turnover of just over £3500 a month with one full time employee and another one coming in the near future.

I dont have time for canvassing anymore but am picking up 3-4 customers daily and im employing a canvasser from next week to drive the business further. Theres no doubt that i will have another van out by April 2012. It has been hard work but like you said it shows.

One of my favourite quotes is from Gary Player the american golfer. He said "The harder i work the luckier i get" Thats a great quote from a great guy. It has nothing to do with luck and is all down to hard work, determination and focus.

Good luck for the future
