Dont know how menny you are but its never to late to do something else .Like you I fell into this few reasons business broke me financially and spiritually .Lads down the pub driving taxies always had cash on their hip so it looked like a decent job and is if your not trying to raise a young family and pay a mortgage and are the only bread winner .If your missus is on an earner then this is great you can look after the kids until she gets home then head out .After the fever and BREXIT dont think there will be a lot of work for anybody .This business will take a hit and like Merc For Hire says its an expensive game to be in .If I was you I would start painting Irish country cottages broken down family homestead type and flog them to the Yanks they will buy them and pretend thats the old homestead back in the Emerald isle .
I told you all about my mate flys Falcons .He is down the country and Americans come in to see him .He has a still and makes a drop but its never ready on the Day as he knows they wont get it through customs .So he gets their E mail address and as soon as they are back in the states he contacts them to tell them the stuff is now really mild and ready for drinking and he sells them a bottle about $50 plus posting .He says they love it and often re order .Its not that they like drinking it ,what they want it for is boasting .People dont want to see your snaps or video from your trip to IRRRRlande but you want to boast you were here ,So you offer them a drop of the old stuff from the old country .Now they know you have the coin to be able to afford to holiday in Ireland .
Johnny ...I'm looking at an owlone on the website I started put me paintings.....shes painting flowers .....a big write up about she studied art all over the place ....
She put 2 up monday .....one was 700 ...the other 500 ......
They sold within the hour ....1200 euro for a tenner worth of material and a score postage ....now shes to pay 30 % commission but theres other sites I'm looking at and theres feck all commission...anyway....every one them she does is almost the same as the last ......here have a look yurself
.
https://www.artclickireland.com/?s=Fiona+roche&post_type=product....I have a theory that thers alot people cooped up in ther homes ....and are desperate to decorate and change the walls that ther staring at all day ....I tink the art is booming online cause all the galleries are closed and if I can stop bein a lazy cnut I mite make few bob ........
This taxi game I'm going treat it like an expensive hobby ...as merc said ...itl be that for a cople years again
...I reckon facebook and google and axa will all employees will be working from home in the future now that they realise they dont need to rent a building for a million a week in Barrow street or watever ....theyll go the way of uber and freenow .....facebook employees will be using thrr own electric to charge ther laptop and ther own wifi to communication ....the future is here....less and less air travel cause its fuking up the environment and not nessesity anymore with zoom and laptops .
...its time to put the thinking cap on ....I tink theres great opportunity now for parcels deliveries and online transportation of goods ...few blokes on here know all about courier busness.....ther cud be money in that now that its exploding busness....all ya need is a car...
