Good luck mate with whatever you decide! Know what you mean about the fuel, this robbing government!!!! Used to cost me and my wife £300 per month to travel to our work places, now it`s upped to £500!:furious3:

Unfortunately if you start getting all doom and gloom as soon as someone mentions a recession, you will never make it in business...YOU HAVE TO BE POSITIVE

Agree with Enduro,I know it might sound easy to say keep at it but I only got into tiling when my other business failed and the only thought in my mind was I'm obviously meant to be very successful at something else instead.

Acting positive has its rewards believe me,good luck lads in whatever you decide

Agree with enduro your've got to keep pushing on, If it was like the recession in the late eighties I would be bothered. I've never bought a house allways rented so hav'nt got that pressure of a mortgage.

It is said that opportunists can smell money. The times have been good for the past few years. Alot of people have been attracted into the tiling business as a result of that, and though many are serious in their endeavor, many are merely in it for a quick buck.

If the times are changing for the worse, remember that it is temporary, and that harder times weed out cowboys and poor performers.

View harder times as a challenge. Hardships forces us to better ourselves.
Become better and more effective at what you do. Broaden and improve your skills, and provide a better service than your competition.
When the cycle turns back up, you'll come out of it sharper than before, ready to expand, IF you are single-minded enough to weather it.

My five cents...

I have a mortgage and i have 3 other houses i rent out, yes im flying by the seat of my pants, and having that hanging over your head makes you hungry for work, i know its my choice but it gets me out to work a 7am everyday...Keeps me a sharp businessman knowing i have to earn xyz every week. You need to have something to aim for in life, I'm 42 and by the time I'm 55 i want to retire and have time to enjoy the rest of my life.

I agree with you "again", You do need that push to keep going and expend effort to achieve an aim otherwise you can turn idle
