I started as a sole trader four years ago and now have a staff of four, soon to be five. I love my job and the awesome team are a pleasure to be around, which makes all the difference.
My biggest challenge was just to bite the bullet and do it. I’ve been in this trade for a long time. I think customers respect when you are honest and straight up with them. I’ve found that this is what gets them back through the door, plus they refer other customers.
Working for yourself has its moments – I do about 50 hours a week on average – but I would encourage others to give it a crack. Not everyone is cut out to work for themselves, but I am glad I took the plunge.
