Hi James,
Thanks for your question. So you are a tradesman who feels he has more to offer. Maybe you have great knowledge and experience and want to take it to the next level, of being your own boss. Sounds like a plan. I’ve been in business now for over 20 years, some of which was through the Celtic Tiger and the crash afterwards. So what have I learned and what advice would I give? Let me share a little of my journey and what I learned on the way.
