Same as that. (I hope).

Oh and I never say I'm better than the rest.

You just know you'll have a massive fall from grace the minute you start doing that.

Tan! It's more like rust with all this rain.
Got rid of RR now, got a Ferrari with a pipe rack and towbar for my burger trailer.
No good in the West Country though, top many hills and narrow lanes.

I just ooze alpha hormones but i'm getting past the courtesy services.

Apart from that, i'm also pretty good at what i do.

Cowboy hat and spurs make me stand out ...

For small businesses it's attention to detail and personal service and flexibility. Large companies just cannot do this by their very nature.

Where there are several small businesses (ie local plumbers) more often than not it's down to how well known you are but there are other factors such as how local you are to your customers, how established you are and so on.

You just have to find that niche that works. An example is many more established plumbers (but by no means all of them) won't do small jobs, e.g. fixing a leaking tap so making the effort to fix these small jobs in a timely manner should get you a good name.

You should get that looked at, could be serious.
