Anyway. The 'my jobbie is bigger than your jobbie' talk has no relevance. You need to do it in the most cost efficient way and skipping a job that you are intending to come back to get another day because you don't fancy doing it today isn't cost efficient, it's daft. Regardless of size.

Financially true. Not necessarily the case mentally though.

Being cost effective is only one part of running a successful business, customer service (two bad words on here) and reputation
also play a part.
If it costs you a few quid to go back (once in a blue moon) to protect your reputation and offer the customer a bit of genuine
customer service so what.
There are guys on here who seem to be in constant battle with their customers to see who going to come out on top.

Of course. But to fundamentally and intentionally organise your round in a haphazard, inefficient manor is silly.

This is the main problem on here some people offer advise and it's seen to be bragging,I'm saying don't think that you need to go out and clean a ridiculous amount of houses a day to earn white collar money because you don't. Each of us have a different outlook on life and work and what we want out of it,the truth is you need to use your loaf when taking on jobs,if you take jobs on for jobs sake you'll more or
Less always have a certain amount of crap work. I treat jobs like people dump the bad ones look after the good ones,if you've got work you hate doing get rid of it or replace it or at least put it up to an amount that gets you motivated,with work I'm all about the money.

Pricing your work (or even picking and choosing it) and organising your round into a logical and cost effective order are separate issues.

No that's not the point at all as soon as someone eludes that they may be doing well the knockers call.

Indeed they do but that is not the point of the thread.
