chimney sweep/shoe shine boy
I would try and add more service specially poor weather in winter, eg: window cleaning, rubbish clearing, van and delivery local service? gutters cleaning? general repairing (don't know what you can do) I think people would rather go to one man band for doing most things which is easier for them just for 1 phone call?I have a business idea to offer
carpet cleaning
painting & decorating
gardening
good or bad idea?
Yes, didn't you know, he's got a dozen qualifications in gardening but only cuts the grass when it's dark
no, cutting the grass in the evening is better, as it gives the grass time to heal and rest in the evening, as opposed to the day where the freshly cut grass dries up leaving you with a brownsih lawn.
that's what I thought poeple would much rather do this themselves, oh well back to the drawing board, anyway it's not as though it would ever become a 9-5, and at least my mind is still active.
thank's folks.
A friend of mine does all of these plus a few more. Left business cards (odd job man) in local clubs about 3 to 4 years ago and became so reliable that a couple of local landlords employ him on a very regular basis tidying and repairing flats and houses (including gardens), before re-let. If you're good at what you do, you'll get the work. If not, you'll get the push!
Not quite sure how much use that would be, they tend to have a bit more information on themA friend of mine does all of these plus a few more.

Good for him, btw, did he just use a business card with odd job man written on it?
Oh you're being too modest! I'm sure you have just such a Masters tucked away somewhere in your little box of tricksafter getting a rejection from tesco for shelf stacking, I am not even bothering with macdonald's, thell probably want a masters in flipping burger's
I had a leaflet through the door a few weeks back from a bloke called Thomas Wronski, advertising these services. I bet he's cheaper than you.
