Size is in the eyes of the woman who's looking at it.

Someone once told me "A good big one is always going to be better than a good small one!"

i would say ive only ever been small time m8.
the most custys ive ever had was about 13 years ago, when i had 934.
the turnover was great on paper, but a tad different in reality.
but that was my fault, as i took it all every personaly.
this time round im hoping im gonna learn from all my past mistakes.
had i of broken the work down, it would of made 3 rounds. each round doing
about £600pw.

thanks dave but i have had a re-think on my travelling and am concentrating on redcar give or take a couple of mile. Thanks anyway.
I think this wil be an interesting post.
People on here who i thought had massive businesses seem to have little part time rounds.
It will be interesting following this one.
IMO
Small upto 150 custies (average £10 per custie)
Med upto 400 with same average as above
Large 400 and over

But am i thinking BIG?

large would been a better choice of wording.
iam very intrested to peoples take on this as there could be two schools of thought.

« **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2011, 08:41:42 pm »

my idea of BIG is when i can get a good living out of the business with having to work myself

I have lots of customers, I would still consider mine to be a small business.

« **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:01:46 pm »

Above 6k does that mean monthly, weekly or what, total sales done once I can't decide how to vote

« **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:05:18 pm »

lets call it all work on the books

« **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:05:55 pm »

Surely its not how many custys you have its how much they are worth each per year, or is that what you mean? "how much do you earn a month?"

« **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:07:49 pm »

The only true business is the one were you have people work for you, all the rest are self employed and not businesses.Big or small of not consequence it the growth that make the business.big or small.
