Yep... just when you thought you had seen it all... something rears its ugly head and suprises you....I will add this to the list of what not to do... then again I told my 9 year old once that I would rather lay my head under a fully loaded tri axle dump then even so much as speak to her mother ...ever .......again
WHAT? :msp_scared::msp_scared::msp_scared:

A little business on a Saturday night, far out.

Know your hard cost, always. Fuel insureance wages tax etc.

Don't under estimate the value of time, including yours.

Keep bidding and/or negotiating work, increase your sucess rate.

Put it in writing and do it.

Don't give away work.

Don't renegotiate after the fact

Don't turn down work.

I know this sucks, but you have to pay yourself last.

Establish your business with people you trust, if a deal smeels it does

This may be the hardest, if you are willing to list your gf or wife as the president of the company, your now a minority owned enterprise, you may find that doors wereclosed are now open.

Go ahead and take exception

Now can we get back to kilts and tea, its Saturday night for god sake.
