Well done Andrew for putting a positive spirited post up here, as the year comes to a chilly end.
I must admit it's going to be hard to get motivated again after the break, as Winter really begins!
Obviously if you're in business you can't rest on your laurels, and in window cleaning you have to continuously be adding new clients, commercial or domestic. Even if you're not planning to expand. It's that type of business. I've been at it since November 1987. A bad time to start. And I made the leap into wfp November 2005. A bad time to start! !8 years later I still think the same way as I did when I began...If I can make it work through the worst time of year, it can only get better.
I don't plan too far ahead...Next month looks sorted. I'll worry about the rest when it comes. I'm not necessarily right, but that does it for me.
You seem more of a business man with a plan to me. Nothing wrong with that either. Wish I had your drive.
Nothing personal meant here, just thought I'd share it because I like it.
This is not the chat line but I'm sure you know the story:
An old man came rowing back to the beach one sunny evening with his grandson. They tied the little rowing boat up to the jetty, and unloaded the catch from an afternoon fishing. A few local families gathered round as he set up his barbeque, and grilled a few fresh fish and shared a little with whoever asked. The rest of the catch he sold for a few coins, and of he strolled with his granson back to their small home together.
Sitting on the beach was a wealthy holiday maker who observed the old man a couple of times during the week going through this same routine.
The next time the old man came rowing back to shore, the wealthy holiday maker approached him, admiring his catch, and introduced himself. He told him he was a wealthy business man of some experience and that he wanted to give the old man some valuable advice that could increase his business, afford more boats, increase the catch and have many men working for him!
The old man asked how that would benefit him?
The wealthy wise business man told him how if he was willing to invest then he would eventually have more time to himself to do all the things that he really wanted to do!
Yep, you guessed...
The old man replied, "but I already have all the time I want. And I'm doing exactly what I want to do!"
His grandson smiled at him as they gathered around the barbeque for sardines and sea bass. It had been another good afternoon.
Nighty night
