Well after a long while getting ready the final day came today as an employee. And so Tuesday brings a new adventure of self-employment working for myself, am really looking forward to it although I know it will be hard work!
 
Thanks, 1st fix for an ensuite and stack outside. It's been in the pipeline a while but it was getting a cushion of funds together before hand
 
Have got plenty to get started with :smile5:
 
i can't even imagine working for somebody now. You'll never look back!!
 
A few people have said that and said you will wish you had done it sooner
 
You still will be working for someone, - the customer.
And most of them will be fairly good to work for, a few will be lovely people who will make your life worth living and the rest will be trouble.
Remember that a lot of customers only chance of being a boss is when they employ someone briefly - you the tradesman, and they can overdo it a bit.
At least your bosses will vary.
 
Depends on how much you need to make. If you've got family to feed and a mortgage to pay you will automatically ingratiate yourself a little more and go the extra inch for customers. If your personal overheads are very low you can be choosy, tell people what you will and won't do and let them go elsewhere if they want to. I truly have no boss, customer or otherwise. But if I decide to start a family and get a house at some point then I expect that will change a bit. Currently if I don't get paid for half the week I don't care.
