Building a sustainable business to provide adequate income is hugely difficult at the best of times, let alone in/after a recession.

Most of the newbies that started this year will give up before the end of next. It isn't just getting the customers, it is also the day to day running a business and being self employed with no guarantee of an income next week.

I agree sunshine!the day to day running of a window cleaning business can be soul destroying at times during wet/bad weather.cashflow slows in august and january.then when your ill or on holiday  NO INCOME!

but i love my little micro business most of the time but its took years to build a good solid round.

boredom can creep in from time to time but you cant beat being your own boss!!!

id hate to go back working for someone else now!! ;) ;D ;D ;D
