Started on my own Back in September and since then month by month things got busier and busier. Even January I was flat out!
February got slower.
And March has been terrible.
Thinking of looking for a job with a firm til this whole recession/credit crunch blows over. Which could take the rest of the year from what im told.
Problem is firms are laying off not taking on.
Ive got alot of my work in the past through builders and local businesses. Is it because they are struggling and so its a knock on effect?
I know some tradesmen localy who say they are a bit quieter but obviously they've been around alot longer and so have managed to build up a much larger customer base in that time.
Starting up a business it tough anytime you decide to do it. To do it at the start of The Crunch was going to be tougher but I rode it out and was doing well until Feb.
It really knocks your confidence when this happens. Start blaming myself and thinking its something ive done wrong, which it isnt. I still get calls for work just not as often.
Ah well.
Hows work for everyone else?
