Part-Time Jobs

[Fasbreak]

Just wondering if any of you keep a part-time job while doing WSR? If so what type of jobs and what hours do you work them? I am thinking of getting one at least until business starts rolling in!

Thanks,

Stan

Don't wait for business to come to you. Go out and get the business. It is there. We do this full time and this is all we do. Never looked back.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems like it may be wise to keep another job for a while.

I think the best thing to do is KEEP your full time job and do wsr on the side. I've decided to give it one year before thinking about ditching my regular job. Got real busy in March and April, May was a dissapointment, now getting more work. It can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride so take your time, and build up your business without much risk.

Think about it this way, You can get some lame part time job earning maybe $8 -$15 per hr or spend the same time walking into hair salons and realors offices asking "Who ownes the red buick out front?" And then get paid $50-$70 for a 15 minute repair 1 a hr 3 hrs a day =$150+ per day no boss to answer to and time to spend with your friends or family, Pretty easy decision if you ask me

GlassStarz,

Good point you bring up. WSR is like going into any other business, it does have it's risk but if your really serious about making money at it...you'll have to jump in with both feet and take that chance. That's what going into a new business is all about....a total commitment, not a part time venture.

If your really serious about making money doing this... just go for it! Unless you have a job paying $25+ an hour. Not sure many of those exist these days though

I found doing wsr part time and full time is the exact same thing just... more of it. It is actually easier too because you get it down without even having to think much and supplies are ordered in bigger bulk which saves cost and your availability brings more work. I did have a hard time sleeping the night before I went full time wondering how it was going to go. Work just falls in my lap with maybe one day a week being a dud, mostly my fault though. By far taking insurance keeps the weekly take consistent and dependable. Once a bunch of them are piled up in processing the money keeps trickling in whether you take a day off or not.

Motivation!! Motivation!! You guys are great motivators. Keep it up! I too want to quit my job....it used to be great...now I hate waking up everyday.

scratchy: what did you do that caused that day to be a dud?
