Do you take a deposit?

[Time's Ran Out]

I set out to achieve what you want now twenty five years ago and was flying my tilers out to caribean and all over the world and paying them big money as well as myself after just six years from start up

But did you take a deposit?:lol:

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Well its a new thing ! ,last 4 months for me to take deposits but i had a succession well, two jobs who placed orders of over £10,000 pounds then tried to cancel, the first lot we sent there dosh -straight back after they threatened legal action and i shipt myself lol, as i already heve a problem in that department ,then i stood my ground with the next lot who were bloody solicitors , and they gave in and we did the job and got payed straight away and became good friends lol.......

alright john . you know my little story about south africa and only taking a 12.50 % deposit.
one of the biggest mistakes i ever made but im still trading !!!

ok charlie i am not going to add anything more.
you are clearly a man in demand and on a mission and on your uppers.
good on you and best of luck .
you say you want to be taking on other tilers and with your self assurance you will live or die in a commercial world.
I set out to achieve what you want now twenty five years ago and was flying my tilers out to caribean and all over the world and paying them big money as well as myself after just six years from start up , but i think i achieved this because i was always wanting to learn and i never thought i knew everything

thanks for for the advice. Life is good but I go on habits where I come on here then quickly realise why I stayed away. It can be good in small doses but it does not bring me penny. I live in the real world, learning from my mistakes and yes one day I will hopefully employ other tilers. I sincerely hope I have not caused anyone on here any unrest but I have one rule in life, I would never say anything on here or any other social site that I would not say in real life. Having said that, the forum at times does have good banter and I wish everyone all the best
