Did i make it , well yes in a way , i was way too cheap in the early days , still am in some respects , but having not long come out of the second van dream , i have learnt , its not about the amount of work you have , its the quality of it , i recently built my own database (too tight to pay for George) and it became clear that i had way too much on the books for me alone and not enough well paying work to keep 2 workers lucrative enough to warrant the cost of a second person.
My goal now is to make my work well paid for the hours i do .
I just gave my brother 2.5k of work on the never ,never to free my books a bit .
I am now left with more work with a better return , as opposed to shed loads of work with an ok return .
For instance , i used to go out and do 7 hours of graft for £150 , today i did 4 hours for £125 .
I suppose the point of my story is , if your going to clean windows , price high and get it right from the start , as opposed to being cheap and ruining long established w/c's income , and your own !
