Well done T , i think you may make it !! if you get yourself out there.........

 

[Mr Tiler]

cheers guys.... dave what are you saying I should be out there tiling for a living by now? lol

Here my 2p worth mr t, if you only take the advice on here without actually going out and doing it and learning from your own experiences then tiling will always seem daunting to you... Consider all the different aspects of tiling multiplied by the differences on opinion on how certain things should be done, the point I'm making is, spending too much time on here could actually be harming any chance you have of being a professional tiler because your having an information overload, and who is giving you the info?... You don't really know! How do you qualify the person giving the advice? ... Get out there mate and get some jobs under your belt then you will be in a better position to give some advice yourself! Good luck

I know mate and tbh it is daunting I mean I try to get as much work as I can but its only friends and family so its few and far between.... I would love to start advertising but am I then making myself into one of the cowboys.... I know theres a few members on here would have a lot to say against me doing it... but theres also tillers on here who did exactly that and am now fully fledged... I hope nobody takes offence to that its just what ive witnessed on the site. thanks charlie

So your wondering if you should push yourself in to the challenge, well I bet most on here push themselves at some point, I know I do!!!... Do it ash, advertise as a tiler, take on jobs you think you can handle, it will very soon break you if your not up to it but then you will know! Your worried what people on here think... No disrespect to anyone but does anyone on here pay your bills?? Live in the real world mate, get out there like most on here did at one point and get in to it. What's the alternative? You celebrating your 5000th post on TF in 3 years time... Most of it asking questions and getting multiple different answers which confuse you even more... Do it Ash, I sincerely wish you all the best! By all means come on the forum and ask questions but you need to take the advice mixed with a good proportion of your own experience and if your lucky like me, you will actually meet a few gems of guys on here who really do know their stuff.

ps, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the TF.

well said there Charlie, I push myself every job! My own worst critic, but will never refuse challenge. I just make sure I do my homework before I start, and that's with over 30yrs behind me. The day u get complacent is the day u muck up!
So go for it Ash! If when u get there to quote and u think it's totally beyond u then just tell them u've a 16wk waiting list. Normally does it.
Slow and steady m8.
Good luck!
