Maybe if you raised your prices and made the same amount of money, if not more, and did fewer jobs then you’d not have as to deal with as much of the things you dislike….
There is a fine line between raising the prices and pricing myself out of business.
I've been taught to market to my existing customer base to get more repeat jobs and save money, than spend a fortune for trying to find new customers. So why would I want to risk that by losing my current customer base.
I'll still have the annoyance of everything I mentioned.
I understand your point and it's very true, which is why I said, "if I ever move to another area and started a whole new business". I'm just venting. But is is very tempting to think about. Like next week, I reserved the whole day to clean all the carpet and pews at a church for over $2k. I'll be working at my own pace with none of the annoyances mentioned above.
I just see all the hoops we jump through on some of these jobs that take twice the effort when there's that big open area at that empty building on the other side of town that's double the price for less the hassle.
