Hey guys,i need my thinking checked.
I used to work an office job for years but I was completely disilluisioned. I chose to learn a manual trade about 10 months ago at 28 years old. I settled on plastering. I joined a 6 week course then put myself out there and connected with a guy who runs a high end decorative finish business. I started as a labourer and am no an installer/improver anded now I wonder what next.
Im now wondering if this is a viable business to move into. the industry is largely controlled by a supplier with a fantastic producted called 4crete. and after listening to my boss, this product is the one customers want and are requesting it through their builders. 4crete are expanding massively and its almost control the whole microcement market to the point that if thy stop selling their product to you, you will struggle because customers don't want you to us any other product
they require there installers to do their training course in order to purchase their materials and send work to you but its almost feels like im buying myself a job by becoming an installer by going out my own.
There is a want for these services
there is a barrier to entry
divorcing it from time can be difficult though
and scaling could be a problem
Should I look for a new road ?
any advice Is welcome
