EARN When You’re SICK & SELF EMPLOYED

Can you generate income when you’re too ill to go to work? If you’re self employed, we don’t earn money while not working but this is something that I did to bring some money in.
Thanks for watching.

We all need a clever wife to keep us on our toes and check that we are doing things right. Apparently we are hopeless without them. 😂

🤣I sure am apparently 🤣👍

[@slowmarchingband1]

I am guilty of working when I'm really too ill for it, but I keep away from customers. Didn't work when I had covid though, couldn't do anything! Fair play to you Nathan, you're out the house about 90 minutes before me, even sick!

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

It was nearly break time before I left the house 😅 can't beat an early start. We're all the same mate I think, working when rough 🙄

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Nathan I make sure when I get home everynight I scan my diary and online banking to see if payments are all paid up in full. Rest up the body amigo👊 Damien from Cork City✌️

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Sounds like a plan, difficult on a variety of properties with various things going on and different people paying etc. Catch you soon mate👍

[@russellpetrie119]

its still work part of the self employed life when others just assume we live the life of riley

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Chasing payments and checking invoices is definitely a part of work I'm improving this year 👍 cheers

[@russellpetrie119]

i know it has to be done @@LewisgardenservicesLtd

[@foo4572]

I think we spend a lot of time chasing our tails regarding payments ….the work is the easy part…😀

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

sick pay we should be so lucky 🤨 ive went to work proper ill over the years (to contentious for our own good ) £500 nice 👍

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

We've all done it😷💪😅

[@funkyduckproductions.8844]

late or missed payments. I check my account each evening. If someone hasn't paid then they go in my diary to send them a friendly reminder the next day. Seems to work well for me. Regarding illness. Listen to your body, not your bank manager!

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Feel back to semi normal now 💪it's difficult when we do so many some weeks and a mix of tennants, houses for sale, tennants that land lords pay for, probate, holiday let's, elderly that relatives pay for etc. I'm the one losing out tho so on it this year 👍👍🤞

[@funkyduckproductions.8844]

@@LewisgardenservicesLtd if someone is due to pay the next day, week or month. Put a little note in your work diary on whatever that date is to check they've paid. That's what I do anyway. 👍

[@TKG]

I do my accounts each morning, so they are always up to date, so sadly wont work for me lol. I rarely get colds flue ect, in fact I have just got over one and this is the first is about 5 years!!! as for flue must be about 10 years plus, I was at the railway (Shackerstone, I used to sleep over there) and could not move for a couple of days. If I I am ill I just wont work, not worth it.

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Working outdoors we generally miss all the bugs etc but this one got me over new year. Glad you're on top of the payments in mate👍

[@jasongardener3425]

If i can get in the van, i got to work, obviously if i have a bug, i keep away from clients, people can forget or miss invoices unintentionally, we are all human. 👍

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Same here usually and it's not often I take time off, being ill when it's freezing doesn't help. I always try and stay away from customers 🤣 cheers mate👍

[@jasongardener3425]
