Part Time Jobs?

[A.K WINDOWS]

How many people on here do a part time job and work for them selfs?

ive applied for 12 jobs now doing allsorts business is very bad at the min and im thinking of folding up or keeping hold of the good jobs i have and getting a job,im sick of the strees and laid in bed everynight wide awake thinking of how to make money and wondering were my next £ is coming from.

i do well 6 months out of the year then i have 6 months of nothing had a bad year last year due to the weather.

finding it hard to get any jobs and im coming in at low prices this is for both my garden business and the small amount of windows i have.

cant cope with the stress it brings i got mouths to feed and there is jack shat about.till march for me.

[Gmeister]

Yeah mate, am in the same boat as you pal.

Its hard building a round up, wfp is great but many poeple where I live have no idea what it is and think its **** without even using it.

Garden work is good in summer, I do cut lawns and hedges, but this work drops dead in winter.

I have applied for part time jobs, but to be honest mate, I couldnt go back, the work I do, now, can get good money even for say an hours work(say £20) would have to work 4 hours for someone else to get the same pay..

Ah mate I feel your pain. When I started my business I was working full time for another company. I was made redundant but luckily enough I had my business to fall back into.

The redundancy money didn't last long and I was like you, losing sleep at night wondering how I'm going to pay the next bill!

I applied for loads of jobs so I couldn't continue building my "round" in a manner of speaking. Eventually I just gave up the job hunt and gave my business another push. Two years later and I'm FINALLY able to support myself with the company. I was lucky because I had my redundancy money and a lot of savings to support me on my journey.

I think your situation sounds very similar but only you can make the decision that's right for you. I think getting a part time job sounds like a sensible idea as it will support you financially while you're building up your round.

Whatever decision you make, me it because its what you want to do.

I feel your pain mate but from a different perspective .

Ive felt like jacking it in endless times but I know it will take time for me to build this business .

[A.K WINDOWS]

Where do you live bud?

im in Leeds pal.

 

[OoO]

im in Leeds pal.

I dont want this to turn into a North Vs South thread. But i have to say from what i gather from friends in WC and who live north of me. There just isnt the money about.

I have picked up maybe 7 jobs so far this year and thats from people seeing my van. Now i KNOW about 80% of the cleaners in one town, and there is like 8 of us. So work is about.

It does sound like £ up north is the problem.

Hell if i had the choice between clean windows or food. Sod the windows.

Again, i dont want this into a south is rich, north is poor.

If i was you bud, keep at the windows but deffo look for another job (part time)
