You're all fucking amazing! :-) Thanks for all your support! Your vote goes to support a veteran-owned single mother business!!! XOXOXO
Good on you for giving this a go.
Just as a thought when you are looking at expenses etc
Double your expense amount and halve your income amount and you will be closer to reality.
Stuff always comes up, and people sometimes don't / won't / can't pay.
Another string to the bow of this service you might want to think about, particularly for the elderly is just popping in for a coffee, and check that they are ok.
We've had several instances of people dying in a flat and not being found by the council for weeks. Many old people are afraid of that sort of thing. So a service, along with running errands, that checks up on them, gives them a bit of human contact, on a regular basis, might be something else you could offer.
Just thinking out loud........
#goodtimes. Thanks for your feedback @trevor.george! :-) Stuff does always come up and of course I will risk losing money, I can hope for the best though lol. Either way I have established a business for my side gigs. :D And yes those older folks are gonna love me. A complimentary, optional bullhorn never hurt anyone.
What a great niche to fill, @robyneggs. I think this will take off. I would be excited to see your art offered up in the mix in some way...hmmmm...that is definitely one of your strong suits. If you lived near, I would definitely trade/barter some services with you!
Aw thanks!! Yes, I am including my graphic art services too, I'm sure someone will have a need for them. And yes, I would love to barter with you @everlove! We make a great creating team :D Thank you so much for the compliment. :-)
Well deserved!!! <3
Thank you! More on EJ Services soon! :-)
