I have been through all these stages myself. When it comes to equipment and things like that my motto has always been too much is always better than not enough.I suppose it all depends on what you want from your business in the long term. I always wanted several vans out with staff and for me to be off the tools and running the office. I always wanted to earn more money. I respect that other people have other goals.Or another way to look at it ...the last thing you want is driving around everyday in a van too big for your needs costing you more in running costs with a twin operator that may not be used very often. Your right. What the hell do I know? You probably should have also highlighted my very last sentence of that post. This is exactly why this forum has gone down hill and the reason I hardly ever post now. The fact is I have reached a level not many have on here in my business and in fact I gave this young man some very good advice there based on alot of experience. As I said I respect that people have different goals. If he wants to remain a one man band window cleaner thats fine. Personaly I preffer my warm office on days like this while other people earn my money for me.Good luck to you Craig.
