Surge 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 I run a very busy car grooming business that specialises in dealership grooming, not many public clients - too much trouble chasing up public accounts! Dad had a mobile operation for a while, I ended up learning how to do it then moved into a place that had a very similar setup to what I have now, got sick of working for someone - Started up this one. Running very well, Haven't had time to finish the signwriting on the front of the building thats been waiting to be completed since the start of when I arrived 3 months ago! I have UE (ncea 1,2,3) and looking to make some coin, and pick up a house and hopefully buy up a few M3's before moving onto Uni to study business/geology. The appeal of getting to drive some nice cars is quickly outweighed by the appeal of making some good money. We have ended up through word of mouth almost exclusively grooming the best yards resulting a copious amount of e46's, new audis, land rovers, etc... Keeps me on my toes!

Jedski 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Still in liquor industry, worked through a wine retailing background (family is in the wine trade) then to barwork whilst at uni. I stretched my studies out and worked an average of 30 hours a week with 2-3 papers in between- i dont know how i did it now. I had a short stint are a bar manager at a wine lounge last year caretaking, currently in marketing in a contracted brand management role. Pretty good work and i have a small group of brands. I'm glad study is done and i graduate from Massey in April with a Bach of business studies with marketing major which is a toe in the door type of qualification i guess.

Grant 4 Report post Posted April 3, 2007 I have recently set up my own Project Consultancy (specialising in consulting to holders of large portfolios of assets - predominantly property assets), and have straight away had 4 good long term contracts in place, that see me not having the worry of having to "hunt out the next job". However, it is my aim that by August to only work 4 days a week, in order to spend as much time as possible with the young fella, and allow Brook to go back to work part time (without having to put Ash into daycare). However, as I have so much work on, I can't really see me being able to cut back to only 4 days a week, but at least the mortgage is getting paid, and being your own boss can't be beaten.
