the joys of being self employed....

[gmw]

ITS funny on here ive seen u guys say to so many before oh it takes years to learn properly and be ready, u cant rush it, here i am holding me hand up saying i dont feel ready quite yet and everyone saying go for it  ;D

i started this post to state that being in the process of learning and work drying up leaves me up the creek cause i dont feel i can fly solo and cant get on any walls to practice and get experience, without workin  :-/

mate it sounds like you now your limits,some lads who come straight from college may be good at skimmin and stuff but in the real world its different you really need to see it done
day in day out for a few years,untill then there really only improvers,no offence to anyone,more power to you for trying to better yourselves.go the patching route with aggencies pick up a bit more trowel time,little domestics are sound,just dont bite off more than you can chew,keeping things clean can go a long way towards your rep,get stuck in mate we all have to start someware!

ive lived in the same place for about 18 years now and only ever been to the pub closeby a few times as my "local" is infact 4 miles away, but after finding out the place round the corner is full to the brim with tradesmen i put on my mucky plastering clothes and jumped into my van and went round there for a mid afternoon pint, soon got chatting with the regulars and now i put work their way and they put work my way try and get yourself known amongst other tradesmen

I agree with gps on this 1 u can't go into peoples house without domestic work experience its a totaly different ball game from site work. Try and get a self employed plasterer in your area to take you on and get the experience.
