Anyone taken time to plan for next year?

Adding any new services, expansion, more time off etc?

For me it's going to be a year of more marketing and less on-site time (I hope)

What's every one else got planned?

[Neil Jones]

Try and get some more time off, but doubt it.
Watch the world cup in some all inclusive hotel by the beach.
Market more, pressure washing and hard floors.
Train someone who works for me to handle the domestic and commercial cleaning side of the business.

......plus a million other things!!!

[Neil Jones]

By the way Jamie, I got some DR Schutz Secura Matt Hard Sealer off you about two week ago, great product by the way, but I paid nearly double what the price was on your website, it was a phone order. I didn't question it at the time as I was rushing.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Boards can be too addictive but it's a way of connecting with people in the same trade beats watching soaps.
