Is it just me but i hate days where i have more than two jobs - setting up the ninja more than twice ,packing away,etc.
Or am i just lazy?
Dont be too harsh with the comments as i am tying to baby along a dodgy back!

23 jobs in next week here, you better pull ya finger out

[Richard Basey-Fisher]

nope you know your own business  if you only need to do a couple of jobs a day and your happy in your life why bother . no point in living to work.

i used to hate doing too many jobs a day when i had the porty packing up setting up although i had a good routine was a mundane task.  since i have had the tm i stack the jobs up as many as i can in the day so sometimes i can take a sneaky day off mid week

[Simon Gerrard]

Four jobs a day on average with a TM.
So if an old bugger like me can do so can you, you lazy git

andrew if you find 2 jobs a day is enough for you to live on then go for it but i find things are up and down so i take what is going even if it means doing jobs in the evening.

It's only lazy if you think your not meeting your own views on whats important to you. Don't be swayed by what other people do unless that's where you want to go.

Also just because your not wanding doesn't mean youre not working hard on your business and moving forward.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Depends on how much the 2 jobs are?

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

your not being lazy your just happy with what you want personally i'd take as much as i could but thats me.

Cheers Phil.

When I get a bad cold, real man flu like, I used to get really p1ssed off that I was losing work, but when you are ill and you can't work (or it's painful) it gives you the breathing space to stand back or to nudge you into reavaluating what you are doing and where you are going.

So your bad back might be a blessing in disguise and you will come back with renewed vigure knowing where you want to go and why.

Also check out the wand technique video to see how to/ how to not wand.

Depends on what the 2 jobs are ? If they where both just a lounge carpet say then yes to me thats lazy as it doesnt constitute a days work!

 I was a butcher when i left school and then worked on the oil rigs. both of these jobs where far more demanding and longer hrs for less money, i find carpet cleaning a doddle in comparison!


Yes we can all have tough days where things go wrong or where chasing the clock as a job or 2 prove far harder than we expected as we didnt go out and view it but to me if i only did 2 jobs a day they would at least have to be say a through lounge, hall stairs and landing and a 3 piece suite or something similar at both properties to constitute a days work.


In the good old days before laminates i would often do 7 jobs a day at xmas with a prochem steam easy with 1 vac motor and a 70 psi pump that was more like the equivalent of my 9 hr days in the butchers or 12 hr days on the rigs.


Just my opinion but i calnt think of another job where you can earn the same type of money per hr as carpet cleaning without spending a lot more time training or studying at college or university.


 Sorry if i went of on a tangent rant over :

go out for a day with Steve Knight, he's enough to make anyone feel lazy!!!!! except me of course!! i soon put him in his place!!!!   

Yeah right Billy Boy! All you did that day was talk to me and slow me down! We had 4 more jobs that day that I had to rebook  cos of your rattlin!!

[andrew stone]

thanks for the comments lads.suppose really i am torn between working really hard and perhaps one day retiring early
or just pacing myself,having plenty of free time for my hobbies etc but working on till my seventies but just part time.
is it better to have the time today as who knows whats round the corner?

 like most of you i still dont like turning working away.
cheers
