Well, I was let go last Friday, and needed to get back in the game right away, rather than mope around the house. So, the idea came from a few years ago when I spent the better part of one summer working for one older lady. Painting, cleaning, scrubbing, gardening, etc., etc., etc. With a serious lack of young people to help around, and a growing number of Baby Boomers looking for a hand with small jobs, I thought the business idea would have a chance. I might not get just one person to hire me all summer, but if many people had small jobs for me, I should stay busy all summer.<br /><br />So, with my hippy coloured sandwich board, Canada themed hard hat, and thousands of flyers I set off to promote both my little businesses: "The Boy Next Door Ottawa", and my photo business <a href="http://www.thedarkroomcafe.ca/">"The Darkroom Cafe". </a> At the Great Glebe Garage Sale I walked from 8:15 AM till 3:30 PM handing out flyers, and looking for work.<br /><br />Sunday, no calls... Monday 3 calls. So, it looks like I have work for the rest of the week! <br /><br />This has been a great learning experience, and meeting interesting people along the way has been wonderful.<br /><br />You can reach me at:613-720-5014<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2276076283520311698-1392506659493633741?l=theboynextdoorottawa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marc Phillionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026247684014420948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276076283520311698.post-73451351479418100272009-05-22T12:44:00.000-07:002009-05-22T12:59:31.786-07:00Having difficulty finding someone to help you out with the odd jobs that the boy next door used to do?
