hi guys and girls i have decided to pursue another career, basicaly a few months ago i decided to start my own business and completed a tiling course that i thought was excellent. the thing is i kind of edged my bets because i i did not know anythin about tiling i also started window cleaning and that has taken off quicker than i could have imagined and you can not say to a potential customer that i can do the tiling next time it rains for a few days and i have discovered that trying to market the two together is not going to work. however i am not selling my tools as i have found that through word of mouth a few tiling jobs but i only take on small jobs at week ends etc. any way i will continue to contribute to the forum as i think it is brilliant every one is willing to help. and if any members want me to pass on work that i can not take on in central scotland just send me me your details and i will keep your details and pass it on
ps any one wants their window cleaned give me a shout

i dont know if if theres any others but i am doing allright the window cleaning is really taking off and i just dont have enough time time to promote tiling and i can make just as much money. and all the marketing knowledge that we learnt is valid in any business as i am finding out

 

[Eddie]

well good luck bud, hope it all goes great, im still working and doing some tiling on my days off, im surprised how much im enjoying it.

 

[stumac]

thanks everyone i still think this forum is great i have been on a few others and this is by far the best and i will stillkeep posting as we all are still learning whether window cleaning or not the business advice is invaluable

funny thing happened today was cleaning windows when i reliased the customer was an old friend we got chatting the next thing i knew i will be tiling his floor and doing a regrout for his neighbour both small jobs that i can fit in any time he even suggested i just do it next time it pours down with rain
