PeterJames Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I can't wait to prove you wrong, I've had 5 years in the trade and I've done all aspects of it. Dont comment if your going to be negative please I admire your guts, but remember 4 out of 5 new businesses fail in the first year. Gaz is giving you good advise, my first business failed miserably, and I had over ten years experience before I went it alone again, I had managed other peoples businesses for several years too, 14 years on and I am still learning new stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPEDEVON Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 One thing you'll learn as you mature is to listen to the negative comments and hopefully take something from them. If you only want to hear positive comments pop over to diynot.com I'm open to negative comments and take them onboard. I took them onboard and I said I'd prove him wrong, that's not me saying I don't like negative comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 4 out of 5 business fail but that's due to lack of knowledge and resources. They obviously jump the gun without the correct resources etc. However I'm prepared, I have all the paperwork, company name, sales literature and other literature and so on. All I need now to do now is van, insurance and advertisement but I'm taking my time planning and doing it carefully making sure I don't miss anything so I'm not setup to fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
