RE: GIVE THE BEST ADVISE AND WIN! 10 STEEM UP FOR GRAB!!!! Dear Steemit Week #1
When I was working for someone else, I had a week vacation time come up. I took that week and went door-to-door, literally, in search of business. I made more money that week than I would have working for the boss. 16 years later I have all the work I can handle. I told a friend I would never work for anyone else again, even if I had to sleep under a bush in the park. Get yourself ready, get out of debt if you can, line up some clients, run, Run, RRRUUUNNNNN....
Thanks @jonsimmons! quite encouraging. I'm glad to say that at the least no debt to take care of. I guess that leaves me with lining clients up and starting the marathon!
what kind of business? Did you just knock on the door and ask if they needed any work around the house, or did you have something in particular, like girl scout cookies?
I repair office equipment, copiers, printers, and sell toner. If I walk through a business district, every door is a potential customer. 1 in 5 has a problem right now and just haven't taken the time to call someone, so when I show up they are happy.
This business, like many others, is being disrupted and will not be around in 10 years. Paper is going down hard and fast. Good thing, too. Paper production is very damaging to air and water. I don't mind working myself out of a job. It is time to do something different anyway, just for the stimulation.
My job is to support a multinational company's paperless solution. They still need to keep the paper for tax and compliance purposes. They use scanners all over the world then pack the papers up in a box in a warehouse somewhere because they are required by law to keep it. There is still some work for you out there 😉
