Don't know if anyone else is having the same issue but it seems like work has dropped for me. I am not getting as much waste to be sent out as I should have. This week looks like I will only be bring in around 1200 an that's low...
Hope next week picks up before I my expenses bite me!

No, something seems off this week to me too but I think its just the nature of the beast. If it weren't for my contacts I wouldn't have had as much as I did this week.

After being in biz for over 20 years I've learned to like the slow weeks every once in a while, otherwise you never seem to get a break. Now if the whole month goes that way or worse a good part of the year then you might need to make some adjustments.

OO I am not minding the slow week. I have had about 9days slow. Last week down right killed me at only $350 profit but that was kinda my fault...it was turning out to be a slow week...so I slacked off some an yea. But I have been on the ball all day today an it just seems like I will have a slow few days ahead of me.
I most likely will work on some of my side projects an run my ads an see what happens this week.
August is will slow up for me..or it has now for the past two years...but picks up about mid month. Alot of back to school crap so people are busy getting there kids ready for school...getting them back to school...but after all of that is done...I start getting calls. Good thing tho I sold two laptops I was having a hard time selling got them sold.

I'm sure it'll pick up, easy. BTW, my town has two part/hardware stores. One has been here for 60 yrs, the other is NAPA ? Do you have the chain parts stores called NAPA ? Anyway, I went to school with the owner of the older one and he gives me scrap from time to time. Well, I noticed an old rusty pallet jack behind the store...almost hidden behind some old signs, so I asked him about it. He said it didn't work, so I asked if he'd tried to have it repaired. He said,no, he just bought a new one. So I asked if I could buy it and he said he'd just give it to me ! My mechanic is next door, so I'm going to try to drag it over there today !
If it works...great find. I got mine from a scrap yard when I was unloading some empty computer cases...I picked it up. Cost me only $25 for it an it worked.
Well what I had thought was going to be a slow weeked just picked up. Now much money will made this week as the work is coming on the later end of this week (Friday) but it will give us something to do next week.
This week made just short of $900 tho so still sad..Not sure what next week will bring but right now I am working on my WVO projects.
