Default Re: From course to Self Employment

Finnished the course on a friday..... was on my first job by the monday (proper job, none of this family and friends nonsense) diddn't have a clue what i was doing, blagged, bluffed and charmed my way through it, read loads and asked loads of questions on here. Took me 3 weeks to complete (1 small floor and a small splashback...................corses teach you **** loads eh!!!!!) in the end the job looked nice and was done proper and i was paid £700...... have not stopped since.

But like i keep saying to people asking about courses...it has nothing to do with the course and everything to do with you..... if you aint got work on, then you aint trying hard enough..... simple as that......... get out there, get stuck in and get on with it.

Do you think the men in the trenches in WW1 sat there saying hmmmm think i will try and hide when i go over the top and sneak my to the other side..... did they bollox, they got up and fecking steamed in as hard and as fast as they could........... and low and behold THEY won the war!!!!

And just for the record, i have a mortgage, a girlfriend, a 2 year old, 2 very big dogs, a car, a van and all the other stuff that comes with normal life. I'm doing good.....thanks 100% to me!!!!

Sorry if i seem angry but looking for a course to answer all your qestions or do everthing for you aint gonner happen, it wil show you the absolute bottom of the run basics and about half a percent of what is usefull to know about tiling. the rest is down to you and how much you want it.

Stop thinking about it and just do it. Good luck
