Trouble collecting from Insurance Company

Post by scratchy »

In a few months my wife might be looking to work part time and I was wondering if there are any of ya'll are doing this as a family business- both fixing chips and selling repairs. To me it looks like it could work well.
Any comments?

I think thats fantastic, I wish my wife would join me in my business. She won't, its not in her to do chips, or for that matter anything but watch TV. :( Good luck buddy.

If your wife ever reads this, you're in HUGE TROUBLE!

I think it's a great idea.

I also think it's a great idea. If she has interest I wouldn't hesitate to show her the ropes. Just don't get jealous when she starts out selling you :wink:

I know of a couple that did over $200 grand last year working WSR together. Now that's what I call a match made in heaven. These two couldn't be happier. Wish I could find a woman like that here in Michigan :roll:

Good Luck!

My wife has also shown an interest in my business. I think there are more women that would love to get into this field of work if their husbands would share it with them. :idea:

Hello scratchy!

My husband and I started our business a year before we were married and then spent the next nine years working together. It was great, we miss it and are planning on working together again real soon.

One or both of us would work in the office at night. a lot of the times when he did replacements I would ride with him. Help on clean up. We would both do repairs. Repairs are easy to do and it was easier for me to climb on trucks than it was for him!

It's great. You can work together as much or little as you want. In between jobs you can go do fun things together in the middle of the afternoon.

Ahhhhh.... freedom.

Good luck to you both, Have Fun! :D

My wife and I work together doing W/S/R. We like being together and working together and we will both tell anyone she is DA BOSS!! She tells me which breaks she is going to fix. The only thing that bothers her is the extreme hot and cold weather. She is fun to have around and she does all the books and I do all the cleaning of the equipment. At times it takes both of us to work our customers. Usually by the time she gets finished with lynx or others I am finishing a repair.

They really love to shop at the dollar store?!! No wonder my friend got curious and went there. She said she got curious of what they do in the back of the dollar store in a room and she went in there. Maybe they have some nice specials? I dunno
