« on: September 14, 2019, 04:00:12 pm »
Hi all so need some advice. I work full time now for company but wanna try bring some extra money in so gonna try canvassing from next month once back from holiday. Just wondering do you think a no deal brexit could affected that and picking up work ? Im gonna have to go with  barrels and packpack for now as can’t use company van as got a tracker on it lol. So will be using my car to start up. Will try flyers aswell and canvasser and hoping to pick up some work,  is a few windows cleaners in my area but will start as close to home as possible and then work my way out. But i was just wondering do any of you think no deal brecit could affect canvassing ?

It's the wrong attitude/question to ask IMO....just do it...........dont think.....just do....

When I started back in 1993 people said 'theres a recession on'people wont want a window cleaner in this climate.....blah,blah,blah.....

just do it.....even in the depths of winter...never give up.....
price higher/work harder!

Whatever happens at brexit, makes no real impact unless trading with EU or you work for a company that does.
Im sure there will be some fall out that will roll across to everybody but life will continue and jobs/services will still be needed and functioning. 

The scaremainering tactics are based on the worse outcome possible and probably wont ever happen.   
I had the joy of going on a speed awareness course a couple of months ago. One aspect was watching a small vid and pointing out the potential dangers. No one came close, because everything you saw should have been a potential danger..........it was ridiculous.   Im sure this is the same with the worse case scenarios in which the no deal brexiteers are poineering. 
So just ignore and crack on.

The only negative comment I've heard about it doing this job was one of the old dears telling us that her grandson was putting off getting married because of Brexit 🙄
I guess he must have been really hard pushed for excuses 😂

I relocated to Ireland in 2011 during a major recession and started canvassing a week after arriving. Few people (even friends) thought I would succeed. I just told myself that I won't entertain Mr Failure and ploughed on. It took 4 years to build the semblence of a round but now I am flooded with work.

I agree with what Dazmond said; just do it and keep going.

I remember one of the D.I.Y. bods making that claim a few years back about why manufacturing some piece of kit was likely to become a thing of the past.

What a load of old bollox.

I started my WFP window cleaning business whilst up to my neck in mud in the trenches in the first world war. It were 1915, I had trench-foot, knob-rot and the water had a TDS reading back in the day of 650 odd.

You think you got it hard today, you dont know nothing.

I find Brexit effects my canvassing.
I’ve seen so much about Brexit on the news that I’m too depressed to go out and do it.
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?
