I class myself has an honest sort of bloke like my mates. We have allways talked to each other about how much we earn a week or per day, an hour etc. I and we have never viewed it as boasting, if we did we would not do it, Its as Ian said in his post, Its great for motivating yourself.
We have all tried to be close together on how much we ask for jobs, its just that we have varied on how much we put up our prices and how often, You have to keep in mind that four of us have been cleaning for over 25 yrs. One lad whos been cleaning for 28 yrs and still trad, thats the dad I mentioned in an Earlier post on this thread,As not put up his prices for over 10 yrs and before then he did it infrequently, so allthough he had a cracking round 25 yrs ago it no longer holds true today. I have put my prices up every three years but compared to the chap whos been going 30 yrs he as put his prices up on a regular basis and still gets £25 an hour for trad work.
Which is fantastic considering hes now 60, but as anyone whos around the 50 yr old mark will tell you w/c trad is really really hard, it completly shatters you and does have an impact on the quality of your life.
For me going wfp as completly transformed how I work and how much money I now earn. It is a massive diffrence, the main one being besides more money is that I am no where near has tired, which is a horrible feeling.
I have posted on the forum before how much I have started to earn wfp to show for me any way it as made a massive diffrence switching from trad. I am now a bit more reluctant to say how much I earn as some memmbers consider it to be boasting or are taking it the wrong way which as never been my intention to do.
its nice to see others setting targets, I think other then the size of your round their is little else you can do other then setting a daily, weekly, quaterly, yearly target but it is only a Monetary target.
keep on trying to aim for the £1,000.00 weekly target Ian, you will get their. Its sweet when you do. I allways had that target in mind but I never Achieved it when I was Trad even when two of us worked together. I have broken it many times since going wfp, I suppose thats one of the reasons why I stick up for wfp because it works and lets you earn more money.
I would love every memmber on this forum to be able to earn 1grand a week, I think we deserve it, and to be honest if you price up correctly and have enough work everyone should be able to earn it.
