You have to assume they are a new ADI searching for the lowest-cost start-up route, but you then also have to question their business acumen if \u201cfree\u201d and \u201ccheap\u201d is their primary consideration.<\/p>\n<p>How on earth do they ever expect to stay in business if this is how they are going to operate? Oh, yes! They\u2019ll drop their prices to get work, too.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re on to a loser from Day One.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you get real lucky, business start-ups require money. You cannot do it for nothing if you want to start <strong>earning<\/strong> money quickly, and it still takes time to reach stability. Those who try will almost certainly end up failing if they don\u2019t invest at least <strong>some<\/strong> money in their venture &#8211; and \u201cend\u201d doesn\u2019t have to refer to the distant future, because if you have bills to pay you can\u2019t go for more than a month or two without being able to cover your expenses.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve noticed over the last few months &#8211; when I\u2019m out on lessons &#8211; the same instructor cars parked empty outside the same houses for most of the day (local franchises or independents, mainly). It\u2019s obviously where the driver lives, and it\u2019s equally obvious that they don\u2019t have much work.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s the situation you\u2019re getting yourself into if you only want \u201cfree\u201d or \u201ccheap\u201d when you\u2019re just starting out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a simple fact that if you\u2019re a new ADI, there\u2019s a greater than 99% chance you won\u2019t survive if you try and do it alone, or cheaply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mind boggles sometimes.
