I really appreciate the kind comments guys.
Anyone can do it!
I started my business in 2003 with £200 and knowone to teach me anything and no forum to ask for help on, I just made it all up as I went along. I had never done a manual job or even been up a ladder untill my first day.
The one thing I am glad of is that right from the start I approached it as a business not a job. IMO that mindset makes all the difference
I always concentrate on 2 things 100% of the time
1 keep the customer happy
2 make as much money as possible
