    Thanks for this. To be honest at the moment it does feel more like I'm building a job for myself rather than a business. I have to do a lot of work, both physical and on the backend of the business to make on average about £3,500 a month (£42,000 a year) which is a decent salary for my age but...

    The agreement is being looked over by a lawyer, I haven't spoken to a lawyer myself about this as I'm keen to get this done as fast as possible. The other thing is that I'm still on fairly good terms with the guy and I partially blame myself for agreeing to let him take the money out and also...

    Apologies for the radio silence once again! My last update was 20 Aug when I tried door-knocking (one door, one rejection ). A lot has changed since then... Video update: I want to get more confident at talking to the camera and filming myself so here's a bit of a longer update if you can put...

    Hey @ChocolateFactory , I've low-key been putting off posting an update for the past few weeks as I hadn't knocked on any doors and felt bad because I kept asking for advice and then being too scared to act on it. Anwyay, today I got my first rejection! I was so unbelievably excited to have...

    Yeah I get what you mean, Instagram would definitely work better if we were to focus on short form content however we do all the same posts n Facebook but the difference is that they get shared to all the local groups on Facebook and then that's how we get some jobs but yeah Instagram has never...

    Thanks for sharing this — really helpful insight. I do think paid ads are something we’ll have to seriously consider going forward. That said, my business partner George isn’t a huge fan of them to be honest, so up until now we’ve focused entirely on organic marketing — word of mouth, social...

    Thanks for the reply — yeah, you're absolutely right. Leads are 100% the biggest bottleneck right now, and I think if we sorted that, everything else would follow. One of the areas I’ve been slacking on is just making the most of the jobs we’re already doing. I get neighbours coming up asking...

    July Update I've really missed posting on here — apologies for the radio silence. Recently I’ve been reflecting on how much MJ’s books inspired me to start this business and take it seriously. But I’ll be the first to admit… I’ve not put in anywhere near the level of consistent effort...

    December Update: It's been a while since I last posted (once again) but here's a little update: The partnership is all sorted now and we're a couple of months into working together. We're starting to fall into our own roles with George focusing mainly on the Sales side of things and Myself on...

    Thanks, it’s been a long journey, and it was 5K in one week too which seems crazy to me still. Still in the process of sorting out the merger. Spoke to my accountant on Monday and he’s put a detailed report together covering everything I need to cover in my meeting with my business partner...

    Update time. Tldr: I'm entering a partnership. Over the past few months I've been working with a guy called George who has a very similar company to my own. We've been in business for a similar amount of time and over the past year have been working together on a large amount of jobs that we...

    This was a tough read. Honestly you just need to get outside and help someone. Start with those closest to you and just help someone solve a problem. Don't over-complicate it by thinking about what's in it for you. You just need to shift your mindset from "What's in it for me?" to "How can I...

    Thats 100% what I think. I'd rather differentiate myself from the competition by presenting myself as a friendly, personable business, rather than looking like another soulless, anonymous corporation

    I'll definitely try to sort this. I really haven't made much use of the coverage I got. Only things that I've noticed is that I'll mention to someone about the sign cleaning stuff and they'll have seen it previously and remember me so it's a weird feeling.

    Yes i need to find the links for the sign cleaning stuff if i can. The main coverage I had was an interview on BBC Northwest which is a pretty huge channel, but I'm not sure if there's a link i could use for that. There were a couple of smaller newspapers so i could reach out to them and ask but...
