Credit crunch ruin my business??

Its got no hope!!

I have got myself a job and made yourlocaltrades free-Permenantly!

The though of failure is awful, so before it decides to go pear shaped, i have covered my behind! Maybe as and when, get some advertisers onboard.

Has anyone else had to make drastic changes/sacrifices to survive?

Sorry to hear it mate, you are doing the right thing getting a job and don't give up on YLT, it will come good in the end.

Good luck.

Cheers mate.

The tradesmens network keeps me occupied too, makes me feel useful!!

A proper job helps me do what a "man has to do" but i also dont lose what i have worked hard for, so a win win i hope!

Thanks again estwig, and thanks for "those" words that really got me moving on!

Good luck - I worked 2 years doing 2 jobs from 5am to 10pm just to get my business going. God I was knackered at the end!
But well worth it i expect!!:D

I will concentrate on "repointing" i think, getting dusty and dirty and working with my hands rather than my brains will be nice!! (yes i know i use my hands for typing on my laptop, but i mean proper hands on work!!:))

    That might be a brilliant decision and the only way it would have worked anyway.

    Keep it going in you spare time - "FREE" is the best marketing message ever invented.

    In 2 years time you may have built up a big enough list to be able to start monetising it.

    Good luck and keep your pecker up.
