Business vs Childcare!

[harvey b davison]

If i was to go back to being self employed with my own joinery company, i would actually base it around the school runs. I wouldnt mind it and just factor it in.

On the flip side of things I briefly worked for a guy who'd pick his kids up from school so left site at 2:30-3. Which I found a bit unfair specially since I was paying someone to look after my kid when he finished school

There's your answer...

if you are the boss though it shouldn't matter.

Your new business is your main focus by the sound of it , the customer just wants to know how much and when .

You are now self employed, break the chains of set hours.

My kids have all been carried around jobs in back packs, towed in little bike trailers and walked to price jobs with me.

Not council contracts, but domestic stuff.

Don't take on jobs that involve a lot of man power and machinery, get a micro chipper and a big van.

I went from running a Mog and chipper, roofmount and big trailer with a couple of staff, to me and a micro chipper working 2 days a week. Organise yourself, focus on profit and prioritise your family and enjoy the freedom.

I've just been to a trade show in Germany and to see some suppliers in holland with a 11month old not a problem in fact I think it did us some good

If I have to delay a job for either my family's reasons, or my mates, I let the customer know that family is first. If they don't like it then they can go elsewhere. So far the response has always been positive and supportive.

My daughter loves it when I take her along for quoting.
