Rosina, wouldn't it be nice : if you could post on the positive side of things,just for a change,people come to the forum for help and advice,but then if you know every thing,why would you want to be here, Ive been a c/c for over 25 yrs,and am still learning,nor am i afraid to admit it,

Dave

Somehow I missed your post. My posts are positive, they are only negative when someone else posts rubbish about my company on here. I don't profess to know everything, however, I have been successful in business for many years and I must be doing something right!?? If you've been a carpet cleaner for 25 years and are not in a position to employ staff and are still working IN your business, then yes, your not a success. On the other hand, if you have expanded in that time turningover in excess of £250k per annum, have staff and are working ON your business, then yes you have been successful. I wonder which is it in YOUR case?

ps. bullsh*t is a strong word for a little one man band Adam.

Rosina,

Tell me,  what is your 1 special piece of advise you would give to someone who longs to get to the very top like you are?

With the long list of work you appear to be doing and all your top end clients.and not forgetting the £90 sq mtr carpet that you clean, and you only turn over 250k,something smells here,the name ron king comes to mind, or day dreamer

No I'm not stupid, especially as I have created a massive company in property development and management.

Hi Rosina

Just as an observation (I havent really got a clue whats been going on with all this tit for tat on the forum, and dont particularly want to get involved), but on noticing your above statement something is bugging me a bit.

I thought that it would be a good idea to at least let everyone know what company you run and have a bit more detail on your profile so people know where your coming from - if you know what I mean. Also briefly outline what on earth your doing on a carpet cleaning forum when your property development business is that successful. I thought you would have more important things to do, surely?

Are you expanding into this market on a massive scale to go hand in hand with the property side of things? It would be nice to know...

No offence, I just cant get my head round it

Hi all,
      Quoted a lounge suite today ( 2 seater and chair ) and i'm just a bit unsure of how this is to be cleaned.
Fabric consists of 13% cotton, 44% viscose, 1 % silk,, 34 % cotton chenneille, 8 % linen.     Some advice on this would be great !   Thanks for any comments !!   

Geoff

This is worrying. If you don't know how to clean this product then you shouldn't be in business, IMO. You should have completed training courses and worked with a reputable cleaning company before leashing yourself into the wild west. Have you enough money to replace the suite should it all go wrong? Or are you willing to claim on your insurance and load the premiums next year? I fear that there are far too many people who just buy a cheap machine and off they go as a 'professional' carpet cleaner.

Rosina, you obviously have issues with helping people, I think its probably because you don't know the answer or your in a funny mood cos you're due on.
We're all on here to... 1) help each other.....2 ) have a laugh, we're not on here to slag each other or each others business off.
IF YOU`VE NOTHING USEFUL TO SAY THEN GO AND HIBERNATE 

[Robert Watson]

Getting right on my nerves.
Don`t even know the dudes name.
Seen it before fast poster, then never to be seen again.
I`m not buying any of it.

"what on earth your doing on a carpet cleaning forum when your property development business is that successful."

Exactly Dave.

[Robert Watson]

Oh Aye.
Looking through back posts, how sad is that? 

Anyway
Good Luck to us all.

rosina.. very ,very sad, my brother has a succesful business earning alot of money and still has time to help newcomers into his industry (water) and he doesnt boast about money earned. i only come on here now and again but when i see people like you posting it makes me laugh...most self employed people are just glad not to have to "work for the man" and have no aspirations to own a hugely succesfull company such as yours...whats it called again?? why dont you spend your time socialising with the big movers instead of logging onto this site and slagging off sole traders and small business owners?? you are either a liar or a very, very, very sad and lonely succesful business person.

[carpetguy]

Definitely not Ron.........he's not too well these days, but still active on another board.

As far as turning over £250k p.a...........that's nothing special...........we exceed that in our other business and I turned over a similar figure, over 20 years ago, which would equate to about £800k today..........so what.

I never found it necessary to bragg about it, or claim to be a super duper businessman because I happened to be doing the right thing at the right time.

Incidentally, if I was paying out salaries and expenses to " managers " from such a small turnover ( £250k ) there would'nt be much left for me !

robbie

[ROSINA INVESTMENTS LIMITED]

and you only turn over 250k,
Dave

Read the post again properly, I never said MY company turns over £250k!!

[Atlantic Cleaning]

Rosina For a person who boasts all the time about your success and intelligence you really have come across a little naive and stupid.

[Kev Loomes]

Where's Rosina's post from this morning where she explained that this forum is 'wee' and how much she and her colleagues laugh at all the small people on this site?

Have the moderators been busy? Or has she deleted it herself?

Come on Rosina, at least give some details about yourself so that people dont judge you instantly (and I dont blame them). Dont remain anonymous - people will warm to you more if they 'know you'

Just my opinion.

[Kev Loomes]

Ah,here it is:

Rosina Investments Ltd [QUOTE:]

I certainly do spend time with the BIG movers but I only came across this wee forum a few days ago and was just amazed at how the other half or LITTLE so called businessmen operate and talk. You all seem so set in your ways, not prepared to receive advice, argue amongst yourselves, and talk as if you operated a National Network   I'm sorry but I have to laugh! One of my colleagues has now logged on and some of you guys are the laugh of our social gatherings, especially the ones who take the carrot!!

[END QUOTE]

[carpetguy]

I may be wrong..............but this smells of a Jersey based operator, or colleague, or pal of same.

They attempted to cause chaos on here recently and a couple of regulars on here were draughted in as moderators.

I know one of these guys has since quit their board, I was banned in less than 24 hours, for something minor.

robbie

ps

I have owned and worked in large businesses in the past and the only people who would talk and behave the way these prats are talking, are the losers, at the bottom of the heap, who will never be anything else.

I suggest you do not respond to any postings

I would be happy to supply full name address, trading name, etc to site owners, not for public viewing, but for screening, monitoring
