Three things I can not STAND.....

bcddjjsc690,

Good idea! & thanks for the advice.
You see, it is like a lot of "Mom & Pop" shops out here. These are my clients...from dry cleaners to car washes to auto repair centers to clothes boutiques, to record/video stores, to restaurants to pet stores to computer repair centers, etc.

SMALL BUSINESSES

And my marketing tool is my "beat-everybody-in-the industry" prices. So, you see, if I start charging all of the fees, I will lose my clients to the competition...or worse--->they will just try to do the shit on their own.

I was targeting large contracts with the city and county (& surrounding areas). But I found out really quickly that this area is very "clique-y". If you are not part of the clique, then you will not win the contract. I messed around actually was awarded one contract, had it for a minute and the shit was stolen right from under my eyes. & the establishment that won, I have their pricing BEAT! Makes you say hmmmm. Anyway, I am in a battle with that shit right now.

Wellllll, after this tax season....I am seriously thinking of changing the game. SERIOUSLY. Just like I do not want to be a player NO MO', I do not want to be nobody's flunky azz accountant NO MO' either!

Owning your own operation is HELL & I am NOT trying to be a slave for some corporation either! I do not know what I am going to do...but I am going to figure something out. Some of my friends say I should go into professional BIG GIRL modeling, some say I should open up my own clothing store (since I am 2 flyyyy ;p ). I have kicked around the idea of opening up a jazz supper club - as on the westside of LA - believe it or not - the brown folks do not really have a laid back spot you can come to just to let your hair down....I am trying to think of an angle that will have them flocking up in my spot......Anyway, I am just dreaming. I will probably be doing folks taxes and their payrolls 'till the day I leave this place. I am just tired, that is all.

tis2flyyy,

see if how high you can raise the fees and penalties of doing buisiness.Banks give free checking accounts ,but make gazillions of dollars on the fees and penalties they charge you when you are overdrawn or bounce a check ,and shit like that there ,,...... play the game . the law is on your side in a binding contract , as long as you're following the laws of your state . Hit 'em where it counts in the wallet, you'll laugh any time someone doesn't come correct on time , mo 'money mo'money mo'money

tis2flyyy,

I needed a place to vent, so instead of startign a new thread, I just brought this one back up......

Don't mind me, I am just typing.

A Service Industry business is not crap!
People who you provide an honest, professional and accurate service for do not appreciate you. I think it is because they do not get anything tangible, persay, from you...so when it comes time to pay your invoices, they want to stiff you. Even when you have a contract. Seems like a fool would whether be taken to court than just PAY you!

oooooh, what a world, what a world!

tis2flyyy,

whats up? I'm gettin old and beat up with high and hard mileage but I reckon I got one more can of gettin my ass whooped left and I'd gladly open it for you.

Buzz can't stand it when I let the dog eat off the kitchen plates, she has one of those conniption fits everytime but I like to save that one for special occasions. My friend can't stand washing kitchen towels and cloths with bathroom towels and cloths.
