Good work Vin, I'm curious though - what's the connection with Franky? He must be at least ninety miles away from you.

We met on a forum then ended up meeting in a car park in Keynsham.  Very much like dogging, in fact.

We'll done vin.

I work all day every day and av never turned over that much in a year, one day al hit that quarter of a million mark tho ........ One day, just not yet tho  ;D

If you posted saying u was looking for work and struggling for money more people would be sympathetic with there posts. It just seems that if post suton wanting to share your good experience and let others who are interested know how things are goin, it turns a lot of peoples eyes green .......

Keep goin vin

That's not the case at all.
I couldn't care less about how well others are doing and I certainly don't get envious.
Let's face it, once you get your business off the ground its very easy to go large, just about everyone here could do it if they wanted.
I'm absolutely full to the brim with work. How much money and time have I invested in advertising my business in the last 2 years....£0.
Yet I continually gain new work through recommendation and being seen.
Hire some canvassers, spend some money on advertising, accounting etc, doesn't take that much of an IQ or hard work to really grow a window cleaning business further. Most people just choose not to, for whatever reason.

I think the thing that annoys some, myself included, about these type of posts is that the people that write them tend to only talk about themselves and how well they are doing, and come across as very vain and arrogant.
The phrase, 'know one likes a showoff' creeps to mind.

Yet if you look back at these peoples posts, once upon time they were asking for help, offering others help where they could and seemingly normal, friendly guys.
As there business has grown, they seem to have become narcissistic, offering little help or advice to others anymore and only posting about 'themselves' and how well they are doing, whilst seemingly perched on their golden throne looking down at the rest of us.

I have a record day planned this Sunday, £600 job booked in which will take me 1 day on my own. (Seriously)
Maybe I should start a post about it, take some pictures, write my own window cleaning book named 'a fools guide to picking up easy overpriced work'.
But really, does anyone really care about MY business? Will anyone buy my book?
No on both counts me thinks.

Hi Tom-01

Not sure the VAT man would see it that way.

The franchise is a business model of the round Vin operates, I imagine at the very least his round which uses the same branding/systems etc would probably need to pay the royalty too, it would certainly be an interesting case, unfortunately if lost there would have a substantial bill for previous years undeclared.

I've spoken with various Tax specialists on this subject and like always their opinions vary dramatically from "yes thats fine" to "no it's not".

Be interested to hear what others think.

John

Hi John

I did think that initially. I then had a meeting with my accountant, who has franchised his business and he said that a franchise business is different to your own business, so I was just going off of what he said. Like you say there's always a difference of opinion  :-\

If you met me, some on here have, you would say I'm the nicest, friendliest bloke going.
I just don't have time for those that think their better then others, I certainly don't respect or admire it.

I use to like vins posts, genuinely. That was until the helpful, informative posts dried up and made way for the me me me posts.
Perhaps smudger could teach vin on how to run a successful business whilst remaining dignified, courteous, friendly and helpful.
Smudger has it nailed, which is why know one ever critises him if he posts pictures of his work or how well he is doing.

Well said, there is only so much distasteful, me me me BS one can swallow and I for one have swallowed enough of the jumped up little snobs superiority bovine manure. It has absolutely Nothing to do with envy, someone like that is the last person on earth I would wish to be like, trust me, it's not a quality I ever wish to have!

Each to their own. 

It was a major milestone for me and I wanted to share it with you all; even my own, my very own personal stalker, Cumbucket.

Have a nice day!

Just home, booked another couple of jobs and Aworka tells me that the combined annual value of all our franchisees' rounds has just passed a quarter of a million quid.  Which is nice.  As of May 4th 2010, our total round value was zero.

The (virtual) beer's on me.

Vin

May the 4th be with you?  ;D
It's a game of three halves!
