GaZ aye it's harder too find a licence then a half decent boat but it's not trying too step on other lobster pot men's toes as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We don't make vast amounts from it, the materials / labour involved soon mount up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaZMaN888 68 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 A friend's wife looked into getting a tumble tots franchise and it's over £20k start up costs! Then there was an annual fee and the soft play equipment was charged extra on hp. I'm assuming there cheaper ways of going down that route though. GaZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,118 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 If a person has a natural talent for something whether its a skill,a character or a work ethic then they,ll get where they want to be on their own.......if not then why take that risk just stick with a regular wage packet......if you cant be honest with yourself you,ll never work a pound note into proper money and after all who wants a competition over who has the most dirt under their fingernails.....not me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saluki bouy 694 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I started up myself just over a year ago I passed my driving and my boss at the time was due me a few pounds and a window rounds 70 customers in a total mess we just went when we had a day of fencing so I got window round instead of cash which I had planned the whole time think he knew that since I'd already bought a van lol. Best move I've ever made I worked with him mon-Thursday an cleaned windows fri-sat then Sunday as well as it picked up in September last year I said that I was quitting fencing at the new year no matter if I was busy or not ..... Never fenced since November the 5th we'll ahead of target .... 13 months since I've started now and I've 180 regular customers most monthly all worked picked up through word of mouth I turn up regularly, am polite respectful and it helps the competition haven't got that great a name. Saved up money I've made bought a pressure washer And a industrial steam cleaner just as added extras for customers and also sell cleaning supplies. Absolutely love working from myself I'm pretty driven to make money didn't have much when growing up my parents an grandpa installed a work ethic in my that I'll be greatfull for the rest of my life. Nothing pleases me more than going home shattered on a Saturday night passing all the lads in the pub getting into the house and counting at readies which are all mine instead of bursting my arse for someone else 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Just reinstalled my disliking for people who dont want money this topic lol. Got an ex mate who at 22 went onto the sick and was fine with it. Paid for his weed n he spent every day on the xbox lol. If anything he should be on the sick for that because it aint normal to want that for a life. Dads mate spent his whole life in n out of the nick. He had had money not a millionaire or anything but his been comfortable. Lost it all n now his given up on life it seems. Lost all ambition both legal and illegal lol, happy to be on the sick n have the rent paid and a few beers n chips on the weekend. My mum n me never argue over money we argue about money itself lol. She works her arse off real long hours and dont get much really. Told her id lend her the money to rent a shop near our new area. Saves her traveling and shes a proper people person. Everyone from all walks of life loves that she dont pretend to be anything she aint and dont sugar coat it. Has people traveling to where she works past more local shops just cause shes there for a chat. Xmas she comes home with more gifts than anyone. Anyway she didnt wanna know, told her shell probably earn more money and she replies "i cant miss what i never had". I f***ing hate that line lol you see other people living well so how can you not want it. Anyway rant over gonna go watch dragons den in bed lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
