Anyone one heroin should be instantly banned in my opinion.

Yeah, I take my hat off to him as well. Just topping quarter of a million in turnover is certainly quite an achievement.

I don't have the brains or ability, or desire, to do that and in some ways, I wish I did.

Having said that I'm quite happy and content being a one man band. My working life is simple, stress free and I earn ok money and for me, that is all I want.

For others, like Vin, they want something more and hats of to them. It's horses for course.

Not sure if I've ever said this but there are times when I turn to the wife and point out that if I were just cleaning windows life would be a doddle.  Days when I just clean, come home and organise tomorrow's work are a delight. 

I don't begrudge anyone who chooses to stick with cleaning as a one-man band.  It's the best job I've ever had.

Vin

yep this is how i operate.good turnover,good profit and very low stress.love it.

 having 4 or 5 franchises and the hassle that must go along with it at times to earn roughly the same amount of money i earn now it defo not for me.id rather be out on the tools in the fresh air myself even on a cold day like today!

The interesting thing about this thread is that as has previously been pointed out the harbingers of doom seem to be people who are either 1 man bands or who have at some point in the past tried employing/franchising/renting work out and it hasnt worked for them for 1 reason or another.

No-one who is actually doing ok with employing or franchising are speaking up , why?

Just look at the treatment and attacks that poor old Vin has had in the past 14 pages.

Well this is to all u doubters and shoot em down merchants, I am somebody who employs and franchises out and guess what?


ITS OK!!!!

yes it has its little hiccups here and there but i am running the business as well as i can for the most part from where u need to be to run your business properly, behind a desk (that is when i am not knocking on doors/telecanvassing/checking on new starters and cleaning windows when short staffed)

I dont have a house in Spain or go on more than 1 foreign holiday a year but i earn a comfortable living, it works for me and it will continue to ....... sorry to disappoint the doubters but work hard and be open minded and you too could change the way you work and your business will be stronger and u too will have a rewarding working  experience and an asset and an income stream for your senior years!!

Anyone got anything also to say other than this idea is wonderful and well done or are we still living in la la land thinking the world is full of mugs than wont rip the arse out it when your backs turned,I can think of quiet a few instances when windys have been ripped off when they work side by side with em as I've said before this is becoming nothing more than a blowing smoke up people's bums thread now. If no one is prepared to say how this is all achieved what's the point in it anymore,I've got my card ready to pay 1500 notes for the privilege lol.

I don't begrudge anyone expanding so long as it doesn't affect another's business.
Unfortunately, it appears that mine is about to be affected.
Not happy.
Maybe I'll try to find a tap, ditch the unit, and go resin only.
I really feel like I've had enough and it's affecting my sleep.

I am extreamly dissapointed by this Paul.

So lets clear it all up shal we.

This is aimed at me. Paul and I both use the same yard, I have my office there, vans, static sytem ect. Paul has a room with his static system. Due to my expansion plans this year, the landlord of the yard (NOT ME) has asked Paul to move his stuff to another room, all of 25 feet away! The new room is going to be fitted out by the landlord (at his own expense) to meet the requirements of a static system, insulated, water supply, drain ect and is actually in a better position within the yard for parking.

So all were talking about about here Paul is you moving your things 25 feet thats all. So you feel the need to pop at me on here over that!!!!!!! For god sake man pull yourself together and grow up. Feel like you have had enough? Effecting your sleep? What a load of rubbish and if that is true then you must have some real issues.

May I remind you that it was me that introduced you to the yard in the first place or have you forgotten that?

Hell I even told the landlord that I didnt think you even needed to move!

So there we have it everyone, lost sleep and stress all down to moving a tiny room 25 feet to a better room!

[Rich Wilts]

I'm surprised you two can look each other in the eye.

Why don't you go to relate? You big woofters.
