When you are filled to the top with your workload, do you consider  subcontracting some and doing some, or is it prefferable to do what you can yourself and drop less porofitables?

Of course as you know, I have gone the sub route.  Even tho it has it's problems, I do like sleeping until 8 or going out on the lake on afternoons.

But it is a close call.  Today I had to go to the police and arrange for an officer to go with me to Cindy's house so I can get my tools back. 

I kick myself in the butt because I went against my policy with Cindy.

Normally a subcontractor works for 2 weeks and then gets paid for what they did the first week.

With Cindy I fell for her sad stories, and let her slide; WHAT A CHUMP!!!  I am angry at myself.  If a worker has money coming to them, they will absolutely give you back everything.

Subing versus one man operation; a bit of a dillema.  Both are good ond bad.

last week i picked up £34-00 in new work, yesterday it was £16 this is from being out on  the job and not canvassing, this is all very well at the moment as i'm in the position to take on more, however there will come a time when i will have to stop taking on new customers as i'm not superman and can only do so much in a monthly turnover, i know nobody likes turning work away but i'm not prepared to take on a partner/employee because of all the health and safety regs so where do i go from here to make more money?

We've had a blinding day (by our standards), but lost one customer due to 'death'.  He was old and disabled and it had nothing to do with me. 

I did have two who died last year actually owing me money!  I'm not worried, I'll get 'em when I meet up with them.  I never let anyone get away with not paying me.

It was a small pensioners bungalow, four windows and a door.  So I've picked up £14.00 and lost £5.00; therefore a running balance of £9.00.

[Roy Harding]

Only worked half day, tatal so far £30

[Stuart Webster]

Paulp,

More than happy to let you have the work. E-mail me and let me know when you are next in Bakewell, Derbyshire.

[Roy Harding]

I have a friend (only one I think)  :(that walks head down scouring the pavement, on finding a 1p, laughs and says £4.99 to go. How true.
