Transition to the new job has been weird. I don't "do as much work" as I used to in an average day. Seems like I'm almost getting away with something with the delegation. That's what the white collar thread is all about. Less work, more pay.

Looks like another two week trip to Thailand and China next month. I hate two week trips. At least it will be warm.

Haven't booked anything yet but probably shangri la in pudong. It's Chinese New Year and I can't get anyone to respond to an email.

Breakfast places are breakfast places for the most part. I went to Northville crossing once and was not impressed.

I had a few folks last year during that huge snow season that built up big balances then took months to pay it off. I had a few folks that tried to screw me out of $$ by not paying. Already this year I've got people who haven't paid their accounts for the past 2 months. We haven't had a ton of snow, but enough that some of the accounts are getting into the multiple $100s. Not wanting to deal with that same stuff as last year, and hoping to get paid soon, I sent out emails today threatening to shut off snow service if accounts aren't paid by the 28th. There may be a big snow coming this weekend, so we'll see how that goes over.
Worst part of my business is waiting to be paid. I know someone who requires a credit card to be put on file, then he charges the card each week for services rendered. I am seriously considering that option as well.

I'm very surprised you haven't done that already. Do you have a collections company you can use?

Post by mtdman on Feb 25, 2015 14:56:10 GMT -5
I havent gone that route too often. They usually want a certain minimum number of collections per month or a minimum charge per month. I dont get that many people who try to stiff me that it would be worth it.
I need a couple of big italian guys with connections to break legs for me.

My snow guy just asked for $400 up front for the season. He got paid by his clients months ago. You need to estimate what you would get in a typical season, average it out then demand it up front next year. That's what put our last lawn guy out of business. He had thousands outstanding. We paid on time but he was too stupid to cash the checks.

400 seems rather high. How much is it each push?
