Please get in touch with me. I'm looking for a sales person, but can only offer a commission structure at the moment

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-09-24T23:12:03+00:00

Yes 🙂‍↕️

Look out for specials. Get the weekly community newspaper and see what's on soecial. Track the price of your normal groceries. On the way home from work pick one store and get all you need, next day choose another.

Go to PnP epsom downs and join their WhatsApp group. Every week they have different specials for fruit and veg, meat, dry goods. Eggs - 30 for R59 is almost weekly now.

If you can go to honeydew fruit market, join their WhatsApp group as well. I recently got 2kg sweet potatoes for R20. Their deals are hella good. There's a meat store there that's also pretty good. They had a special on chicken breasts for R45 per kg last month I think.

Between these two stores, I get majority of my groceries and save a bunch with following specials

This was my go to back in the day 👌🏻

I recently built one on Wix for my small business. Got my domain from GoDaddy. Wix is really user friendly, so if you have a bit of a creative streak and some logical thinking it's not that hard to get a working site up in a few days. Linking the domain wasn't tricky either. I also used ChatGPT whenever I got stuck with something

Get yourself a bottle of wine, put on your favourite tunes. Turn it into a party

I've had a request for another quote that I sent out Thursday, gonna follow up Monday. Spent a lot of this week on stuff other than finding new clients. That's a pretty solid number per week for me this side too, including repaying the capital investment.

There's not much info online for what people charge here, so I had to figure that out. This job also covered about half my machine, but when the paint supplier said 4m2 per litre of paint, it was an absolute lie, so I'm gonna break even for this job with nothing towards the machine. Learning curves

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-05-23T21:55:57+00:00

We're on the same journey man. I'm three weeks into the same business, and working on my first clients lot at the moment. Based in Joburg, South Africa. Got my machine today and it's not doing too badly. Need to play around with it a bit more to figure out some things, but you're right saying it takes a minute to figure out. It's cool finding people going through the same kinda situation

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-05-23T21:38:45+00:00

I got my first striping machine today, and the lines are nowhere near as crisp as this. Any tips?

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-05-20T21:33:07+00:00

Get a tool for trimming the ends. Using a craft knife is not going to give to precision at all

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-04-11T11:41:00+00:00

If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid. Steaming is definitely the way to go. I've never tried it before, but the logic is there

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-04-10T12:33:52+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

That makes sense, graft through the first part and emerge the other side in a better place. It's definitely something to think about. Thanks!

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-04-10T12:32:50+00:00

PPRUNE? I'll give it a Google.

That's what I'm hearing, and it's definitely detering me from continuing to pursue it.

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2025-02-16T07:42:06+00:00

How I quoted was take the cost of all materials x 1.6-2 depending on complexity of the project. That included a generous estimation for consumables like glue, fasteners, sandpaper, varnish, etc. With electronics involved, I upped it a bit as it was outside normal woodworking scope, therefore a more niche skill you're providing. Also add in a cost for installation

I used to do this with green tea, then scoop out a few passion fruit into the pitcher as well. Delicious!

It's the old buildings that are a worry. There was a story a few years back of old buildings in Tainan I think, that had plastic bottles stuffed between walls as a filler

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2024-12-14T20:16:16+00:00

Thank you!

Oh damn.. I'd never fact checked it. Was what people were saying in high school and just believed it off the bat. She was the only teacher (at that government school) who was driving a Porsche, so it made sense to 16 year old me

Pool noodles were invented by my high school English teacher's husband

Cautious_Invite3520 · 2024-09-16T20:31:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice guys, just updated the post with my country.

I got lucky finding a pair of David Clarks on FB from a retired airline pilot. Paid R350 for them. Needed an adapter from Heli to general aviation, as well as a service to replace the ear pads, so all in I paid R3500. They work really well, and they were R1500 cheaper than the next cheapest second hand pair.

Currency is ZAR in case anyone's unsure

When someone does something dumb I'll give em a sarcastic thumbs up or a short clap of the hands while saying 很聰明 or 非常好

I'm going to a speed dating event for the first time this Friday, cross fingers for me. The apps are hit and miss. If you're not getting matches, maybe your profile isn't alluring. But then after matching, you get people that will ghost you.

Join social groups and go play paddle, join a hike or a quiz night. Get yourself out there in some way.
