No advertising at all.
Only about 15% of our work is subby work. The rest is self generated or recomendations.

Well chaps its now 6 months since We set up on our own.
We have had 3 days in that time with no work. Things are going realy well and we have just taken on our 1st full time engineer, 3 of us now. But i agree with the rest of you i am now working about 100 hours a week inc paper work book keeping etc.
We should be SSAIB aproved within the next few weeks.
I feel i could never go back to cards in now.

Do you remember the realy old mats that had a tarton cover on them.
I serviced loads of dry cell systems over my time the one's with the end of line flag battery with a diode fitted to them, all well over 30 years old. It had a green lamp on the front that lit up when you pressed the test button if all was clear.
The whole house would be run in brown twin a + loop and a - loop in the same cable mats caused a shot and doors went on on of the loops.
F,in nightmare to find a fault.

I fitted the system in the chapel of rest in my local town and had to fit a detector in the embarming room.
Thay said if i waited an hour thay would clear out the bodys waiting to be done.
I went in anyway. Not a very nice sight stainless tables with bodys laid out ready to embarm just saw heads and feet but that was enough.

Mate i know all about them.
A lot of cash for not very much.
And very pushy sales reps.
We are Northwest based and would be happy to quote you.

I was talking to one of our x buddies last week and he didn't know you had left LOL
Take it easy, plan your week in a balanced way but always expect the unexpected. Great tip is plan to sell your new business some time in the future to a big company for a sum of money that you can retire on.
Don't forget to get the Hondas serviced
Who was it ?

So that's the end of your easy life.
The schedule for the future will be:
8am to 5pm: Working
6pm to 8pm: Office work & quotes
Saturday: Catching up on all the things you didn't finish during the week
Sunday: Doing all the things you didn't finish on Saturday
Bloody hell. It's Monday again
and if you find a way of avoiding that schedule, I would love to hear about it.
Good luck mate.
Well 6 weeks in and the above is very true. we have been so busy installing i am taking 2 days off at home to sort out all the paper work.
I am realy starting to get into it now as at 1st i did not sink in that i had finished with //.National Installer.// and i was my own boss.
We still have loads of work on and hope the future stays the same.
We are still installing 7 days.

Sorry it happens - a lot. Now if that were last week you would have still been paid for not being able to finish the job.

RS50 and 100 not the best thing to program and no NVM in them.
