Well done ProDry.
You have seen the light. better than being a busy fool eh.
Agree with yours and others posts including your previous ones on other threads about mine and others low prices. However there will always be cheap cleaners and probably more in the imediate future as we hear about more people taking up part time jobs. There will also always be a market for cheap cleaners. Maybe this market will grow aswell as more customers start feeling the pinch.
I have made good money doing cheap volume work and there are others that do aswell. I have had weeks where the number of jobs and travelling I have done in a week would'nt be belived by many on here. I have seen many CC come and go over the last few years some cheapys and some not. I think the high volume, cheap work is just another service model and I wouldnt discourage anyone from following the same path.
The only reason I am changing is my circumstances have changed. I no longer have an expensive wife, house or two gas guzzling cars to pay for. I started my working life early at 15 and have always grafted I am not changing to become one of the many CC who do 5 jobs a week or are at home every time you drive past their house. I just have other business interests that I enjoy more. I hope to cut my CC hours initially then eventually go back to employing someone all at much higher rates when I get busier.
My point is you say "busy fool". Busy, yes. Fool, definatly not. There is a franchise near me who charges £200 a suite and turns £95k a year, this year end he made a small loss. I think we all get sucked into what we and others earn a day issue. I do property maintenace aswell so see exactly what other trades get a day both casual, full time and agency. Their are big differances between similarly skilled workers day rate. I think we all know what we need, would like or get. For us to start lecturing each other on earnings just fuels a debate that can never be resolved.
