When come to conclusion working on your tod earns ya more money, ive done 2 days with someone this week, 2 days without, and i earned more on my own and the extra i earned with someone else paid their wages, its just nice to have the company.
-
I find 2 men teams are always more profitable, I suppose it all depends on what sort of staff you have. It's tough goin on ur own day in day out, I couldn't do it...
-
prefer working on my own although i do have help sometimes

Frankie they cant keep up ;)

yeah stan u think that m8 itll make u feel
better lol ;D

theres no comparisom day in and day out
imo
if you arent making money with staff you are paying them too much :)
even when working trad i do ups and lad does downs we easily do double what i would on my own , i could hit those figures once a week but not every day like i can with someone..
but maybe im not motivated enough alone... i like having someone to work with as i stay out longer and work harder etc but i couldnt get through my work alone now its too boring

I work on my own at the moment for one main reason. I do not have enough work for 2 people (not enough for myself yet). If I continue to grow like I am maybe this time next year I can look at getting someone else. God knows who I am going to get though.
-
i much prefer working on my own!! ;) ;D ;D ;D
years ago i got sick of lads letting me down,doing a crap job,leaving gates open,standing on all the custys plants etc.
i must of had about 80 different lads over the years!
working alone is bliss for me...!!!
you can start and finish when you want and its a lot less hassle.ok maybe not as much money but im working on building a much more profitable round!! ;) :) :)
-
Tod is lonely, two's company, three's a crowd.
-
Everyone is different.... I like working on my own.... i enjoy my own company, laugh at my own jokes, have abreak when i want one, go home for lunch or even finish early for the day.
Monday im going to my kids sports day, then going round the shops in town to see if they need a window cleaner. If i had someone working with me i dont think they would be too happy having the day off.
-
anyone who works on there own and earns consistently good money is very motivated , my own experience is that once i took someone on my earnings have been far far better , simply because with a wage to find i work much more , its really a choice betwwen treating it as a lifestyle business or one where you want to maximise your earnings , single operators can of course earn very well but personally i suffered from loving the duvet to much regards alan
-
Ill admit having that someone with you keeps you motivated to stay out and yeh i suppose when i think about it i did earn more becaude of it. I just think when i get things sorted, i will send someone out on their own etc.
Freedom of being on your own is priceless though.
-
started on my own...thats good
then took someone on...thats better
now got two vans.....thats even better!
-
im on my own but cant last a day without the radio on my phone
-
Yeh tunes on phone are a biggie for me to
-
i certainly dont need anyone else to motivate me!!why would i??the more i put into my business the more i get out of it!!simple!!
i worked 9am-8pm the other monday on my own!and a find now im wfp im not as tired as when i was climbing ladders all day so i can work longer if i want to get more done!!
it works well for me and long may it continue!! ;) ;D ;D

you obviously are blessed with good self discipline then mate
i find on my own i will start late, doss around finish early majoroty of the time, i just get bored but with a wage and someone helping i get much more motivated and work longer and harder...
Plus i earn way more!
-
I find the boredom of working on my own does get to me every couple of months and I just do not feel like going out...having a scheduled round does help me get me out of the door each day as it is booked work.
Having a hobby/project on the go does help me get by...currently just paid for the g/f to have motorbike lessons then save for her gear & bike.
Am not at the stage of employing yet...am happy the way it is.

I worked with someone for 2 days last week and found having someone in this heat ment I worked less hours for my daily takings as wouldnt of got what I wanted to on my own on that day...(and also got to go get my new iphone4 ;D)
-
I earn a lot more working alone.
My staff have their jobs & are left to it,.. I rarely go near them. Some jobs suit a team of 2, some don't, simple as that.
-
I work with my step brother every now and then ..and we spend all day laughing!
-
Cant beat a good laugh, i used to work with my uncle and thats all we ever did...hence why we dont work together any more, well not so regular lol! ;D
-
After leaving the army, I found working by myself almost impossible; I guess I wasn't happy with what was going on in my head at the time.
But now I prefer it. I've got this great wireless MP3 player (no wires to get in the way) and I'll stick it on and ignore my customers.
-
Yeh headphones, pipes and poles do get in way, i wanted my bluetooth to do this with music from phone but it does not.
I slapped 350 songs on phone last night, was in my element today lol
-
used to be on me tod now me wife works with me it works some custies like a female on site ask stan the man he knows when he had his lady working with him
-
I considered myy wife coming out, but going out on the windows is my chance to get away from her lol!
-

nice one mate
-
there's always a customer at some point in the day who wants to talk you to death, quite a relief to get back on your own after that 8)
-
if there's 2 of you. One of us talks to keep the customer happy - one of us works. Today Alan talked - for half an hour - while I did the windows
