AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST well im sure this isnt going to be a quick reply but im going to jump in and ask all of you to bear with me and help me out. i read this forum all the time ,i dont jump on because i dont want to look like a fool amongst all you pros,but damnit im 65 started this business for my 2 boys,sold my airboat to get my startup money ,tead this forum and any other material .whats up w/ me i spent 40 yrs of my life as a cook! Really didnt have a hell of alot of know how here i only know that i have or should say had 2 boys one had just lost everything,moved his fan
mily here the other one who has been w/ me as i raise his daughter/from a drug abusing mother who ran off w/the guy across the street,shes now 8,been raising her since she was 18 months...now i get the business started and somehow we are off to a good start.plenty of work.(by the way this bus was to become my grandaughters at the proper age).So again alls going good we got into an F V resort last Oct havent left there since.They have adopted us we do painting,pressure washing,auto detailing,boats pretty much anything we can do. Well heres my luck the management hires one of my sons to train to take his place in a cple yrs,next my other sons work calls him back with at least 2 yrs steady work.(prev job was sporadic at best.Now here i sit with work which ive been doing anyway but as a helper.OH yeah heres the kicker the prices they were used to paying is not enough to to hire, i use my pay to buy product.I am not making money but these people love our work,said that they are notgoing back to the previous company.So heres my question to you all how do i get these jobs done quicker(wash wax) motorhomes,painting rvs turned to permanent homes w/ screen porches etc.wash wax and etail their vehicles and do it all and maintain my pride,integrity etc.AND make some money? one last thing the former person set the price (150.00) for wash and wax of a motorhome,but im just now realising thats all he did,notall the other prop maint. we have got into....What have I done wrong?Our rep is very good and i dont want to lose it but i also need to make some money,at least something more than to buy material. Well i really guess i got on one hell of a roll ,but any answers you have would help me so so much.I wont quit!!!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR PUTTING UP W? MY ENDLESS MINDLESS BLABBERING!!!! Linda
