Last 4 years ive been on a mass spend. New vans (new to me) All sign written. Advertising, have had banners around town. Leaflets. Ads in paper. Brand new kit latest poles etc...
Always under impression more you by, less tax you pay. Personally i dont think thats the best attitude, i bought things that i didnt really need to keep expenses high, as my accountant said, spend a £1 or give tax man 30p, i know it grates ya to give tax man that money, but why spend more on stuff you dont really need?
Ive seen on here people saying you HAVE to spend to get anywhere in this game. After doing so...I dont think so, in the last year ive stopped it all and have been a lot better off for it.
My latest setup is second hand. I can DIY most stuff. I have my reels, pump controlled by a tap not a varistream! harris poles, i have a supalite for high stuff that ive had and will keep for years. I dont spend on anything i dont need and find it works better for me.
Its only my opinion, but i think the way to make it is by working hard, being reliable and friendly and looking after your pennies. What do you think and why?
