Post by: Zed on August 28, 2015, 10:54:48 AM
A few members know about this but i wanted too share with my mto family,many know that ive had health issues over the last few years and been in and out of hospital,plus money problems due too job situation and wife being made redundant.Well me,my wife and a very good friend have all had enough so we decided too start our own business, it should all be registered by the end of next week,we are doing a cleaning,maintenance and house clearance buisness,we are doing everything from cleaning houses to decorating to gardening,the house clearance is my thing as want too get into the antique business, we are doing this to try and change our lives and our childrens,plus i can wear a mt daily  ;) we are all very motivated to change our situations,ill keep you all updated as we go along  :salute:

Look into the government and EU initiatives/programmes to help the starting of small business too, for some money to help you start.

 :tu: i was self employed for over 20 years, i know the feeling of working for your self,the only person you can blame for mistakes is yourself,the company i work for is getting worse on a weekly basis,we was going to start a care agency but we have all decided to move on from this type of work,its sad as we all are very good at it,but the industry's going nuts so time for a change  :tu: plus i get too rummage through other folks stuff  :rofl:

While I am in a pretty comfortable position - My wife works as a teacher and has civil servant status and I have a good employment as a Janitor/Maintenance man at a real estate cooperative (is that a word?) - I know how it is to fight for every crust from times when my jobs where less secure and not as nice. I can only imagine how stressful it must be when you not only have to take care for your own, but a whole family. My deep respect for your attitude.

Let me know when you start expanding. We just cleaned the house the other day and it already looks as if we hadn't done it in ages.

The UK is bit far away though, you would have to expand quite a bit to get to this corner of the world. But with quality and honest work, as I know you're delivering, it would not be a problem at all.
