  • Things have changed considerably

    SInce i last wrote, quite a few things have changed. We had sorted our differences out with the people we share an office with, but now things have taken a turn for the worst. Things dont look good for the security company, as they have had a few setbacks this week. So its panic stations for them, and we are left in the lurch wondering if we are gonna have an office to work from.

    So, me and dave are gonna leave early today and go look for some offices. We have looked for some before, although before we were looking for something with a shop front. Now we dont have to actually display any products or anyhting – we only need a little office somewhere, which means that the costs are lower.

    I dont seem to have the time to update my blog as uch as i used to, but im still gonna keep the imortant things documented. Afterall, in a few years im gonna want to print it all off and sell it as my autobiography 🙂

    My new car is now on the road too, its great. It drives great, I love it!

    Ill update more tomorrow. Peace out. 🙂

  • What a strange week!

    Well.. What a bizarre week! First off monday and tuesday flew by – followed by a wierd wednesday, thursday and friday. But becasue i wasnt aat MMX3 till wednesday, it didnt feel like my week started till then, so it now currently feels like a wednesday, but its actually a friday. That friday feeling has gone, cos my body has no idea what day it is. It is friday isnt it?

    I havent had time to check up on my mates blogs either, i love reading about their lives and how they are getting on. With my busy life it means i can stay in touch at my convenience. I know that sounds terribly selfish, but i just dont have the time i’d like to keep in touch with everyone. I think ill make that a new years resolution. To make more time for my mates.

    I have a weekend off this weekend, well, i asked for the weekend off to be honest. I kinda wish i could work every weekend at the mo, as i could really do with the money. But i want to spend time with my beautiful girlfriend, so il have to stick to one weekend on, one weekend off.

    In preperation for being broke, im slightly increasing my overdraft. I hate doing it, cos its jsut getting further into debt, but i have things i gotta buy this weekend that are important, and expencive.. Like car tax, and transferring my number plate over.. cars are so expencive!

    Also, my clio sold for £330.56 on ebay! Im rate happy with that, i expected about half that! There was a right bidding war going off, and in the end the price increased by about £70 in the last 40 seconds! The guy who has won it has no feedback, but i got a message off the person who came second, sayin if the top guy drops out, he’ll pay the winning bid for it. So either way, i havent lost. woo!

    Im gonna mince about for half a hour now, as i only get paid for the work i do now. So i have to stay till after 5 or i end up not earning enough money.

    Peace out for now guys, ill probably update over weekend if icget chance. If not ill update on monday.

    Peace and love.

  • Self Employedness

    Well, this week has been a proper week. I did monday tuesday maxxd, its snow wednesday, and im at mmx3, and i will be tomorrow and friday too. This is how my weeks are going to be structured – and already i want to concentrate full time on maxxd stuff. MMX3 just bores me now.

    Before, i would sit mincing about making myself look busy, as i was on the books and if there wasnt any work for me to do, then there was nothing i could do. Now, becasue im self employed and am invoicing them for the amount of hours im working, i cant mince about as if there is no work for me to do mark will tell me to go home! I need to work 24 hours at mmx3, at £7.50 a hour. That earns me enough (as well as my 1 shift a week on security) to pay my bills and buy food etc.

    If i want to earn more i have to either do more security work (no no!) or do a few extra hours at mmx3 – that is until MMS starts paying us.

    Like ive said a million times these next few months are really the deciding months, we are gonna set on a sales employee, and we are gettin someone from the college to work with us – and do admin type stuff. With them, david and myself – we should be able to get things off the ground pretty sharpish.

    We need to get things rollin asap, as the office we are using is owned by a proper scitso (sp) who annoys us both, has no idea how to run a business – and is gettin on at (mainly) dave all the time. We cant create our empire in an enviroment like that, so as soon as possible we’ll be gettin a little office of our own.

    Wow, i feel all grown up and shit..

    Oh yeah, i  paid council tax today.. £104.90! Fuck!

  • Forgotten Blog

    Yes, i actually forgot about my blog. We have had two days on the directory, and i have been building our MMS website. We have been really busy and have been plodding on with stuff – so much so, i had forgotten to update my lovely weblog. We have been trying to stay off maxxd.com and other forums – so we can concentrate on making some cash money – and things are going great!

    We have got to the stage where we are considering taking on a sales employee. Sami, our mate on maxxd has recently been made unemployed, and is trained in sales and telephone stuffs. Dave cant take on all the sales work himself, well he probably could but then we wouldnt be able to do everything else we want to do as well. Its a hard desision becasue if someone is working for maxxd, then they are depending on us for their wages – so obviously we cant mess up when it comes to paying them. At the end of the day tho if we were struggeling to fund the wages when that time came then we’d just have to sacrifce some of our own money. It would be a bummer, but it would be nessecery. Although, I cant see us being stuck for money after a full month of both dave and sami on the phones.

    Life is about taking risks, and this is one of those risks. 

    It feels amazing tho, to be working full time on something both me and dave are so passionate about. It also feels good, to look back and see where we were when certain people were still part of the team. They always put a downer on situations, always disagreed with things me and dave both agreed with – he was always the thorn in our side. Now he’s out the way, and things have never been better.

    Its mad when you sit back and think, what if? What if we had of taken that offer of £100,000 and let that chap become the 4th director of maxxd, and let him start that online shop he wanted to do? What if we had never got that guy who left in to help us in the first place? Life is full of “What if’s?” but from my experience its better to get on with it, and forget the things you have missed, or passed in your life – and get on with the jobs and problems that face you currently and in your not too distant future.

    Life’s for living, sleep when your dead.

    And finally, id just like to inform anyone who reads this that i have fallen in love. She has been mentioned in my blog, and i have been going out with her officially for a month or so now, shes amazing, she makes me so happy, and if i was to draw my perfect partner, and list the qualities i would look for in them, she would fit the description perfectly. Oh yeah, did i say she could breakdance? Wow.

    Lifes generally amazing right now, i love where i live, i love the fact me and my business partner are actually going ahead with our plans, and i love my girlfriend.

    Can you feel the love?
