British Gas Vs Working For Yourself

[DMI]

yes all hand tools ect power tools i brought a couple of months before going self employed. had the money at the time and was a good van come along of the old mans best mate so i just brought it.... dont see the point in spending 500 on a van if its old and going to need new parts all the time. i believe the long run its worth while

Thats alot of money to spend out whilst trying to build a customer client base , hope it all pays off in the long run .by the way the guy who started MITIE engineering off was trading from aescort estate at first

no time to read all the posts, my advice, stay with BG. its just gone eight, i finished at 7.00pm, then paperwork and ive got to unload my van and get stuff ready for a 7.00am start in morning.i working for no-where near that money, if you fancy a job swap get in touch !!!

Just saying you dont need to spend a fortune on a van to make money ,know many a plumber/builder or whatever doing well without blasting round in 10 grands worth of van.And to be quite honest i could think of better things to spend my money on.

it is your £ you spent them your self.....other people don't spent there £ they simply invest them !

Image is what a new van can give but a new van and crap service goes nowhere, well it does but its down the pan
If anybody is thinking of starting out make sure your good at what you do and have tools to do the job and last but not least customers who need jobs doing

if you treat customers with respect no matter who they are, they will NORMALLY treat you with the same,

If you are a shy and shifty by nature person you have no chance, they wont trust you and will not want to pay you anything.

Trust is without doubt the seller when you are a small company. Without that you wont get anything,

If you can look at yourself for a bit and work out what you would want from a plumber/boiler engineer or whatever flavour you are first... Then BECOME that person.....
