    Just found the channel, great honest first offering and looking forward to catching up with your future posts (or whatever they call them).
    You seem to be following exactly the same people as me, they have given me so much info too, although I still haven’t taken the plunge and started a business yet. One day I’ll get all my ducks in a row and take the leap, look forward to seeing your progress. Good luck and peace out and all that young person stuff ✌🏻

      Hi Andy, cheers for the comment. I think if it's something you really want to do you just have to go for it. I'm quite lucky that I'm able to start part time and work my way in gradually, but sometimes you just have to just have to have faith in your own abilities and just go for it. Have a great Christmas.

      I have commented on your video Steve, that is hugely generous of you and Marra, really appreciated. Glad your feeling a little better and no need to explain about having a busy schedule, modern life eh. Thanks again.

    Good info, ty. I started about 12 months ago, was in building /plastering since high school. I have been doing kind of part time while still skimming. I was going to concentrate more in the new year to fully swap to gardening, as thought doing it over winter the work load drops off. Your video has been really helpfull, and also encouraged the "why wait for next year" in my mind. Good luck and looking forward to more content on the progress.

      Thanks for the comment. I guess you can plan as much as you want but the clock is always ticking in the background. Sometimes you just have to go for it. The benefit of having the plastering gig in your back pocket is always going to be a plus if times get a little tight. Good luck to you too,

    Thanks for the shout out and good luck with the new business and the UA-cam channel.... neither are easy unless I'm doing it wrong 😂 Us 'lifers' often wish we had a safe job.... maybe my second career will be in an office 🤔😅 were you at Groundsfest? Again good luck and any advice I might be able to offer hit me up👍

      Cheers Nath👍 Yeah, safe is great to a certain point, it just sort of reminds me of condoms! No I didn't make ground fest, didn't trust myself looking at new shiny gear. Thanks for the kind words and I may need your sage advice, so thanks again.

      Thanks for the comment. New video should be uploaded tonight. Let me know if you want any particular content going forward. I would prefer the channel to be led by the people watching rather than me just blathering on. Thanks again.👍

      @theconstantgardener71 video reminds me of when I started out 35 years ago with a mortgage two children and about £300 in the bank, I handed in my notice at work and worried for the next few weeks it all turned out OK in the end.

    Good luck with your journey matey. Wish you the best of luck. When the budget allows see if there’s a little parish magazine or local newspaper in your area. Also I use Imovie for editing it’s fairly. Idiot proof. I can cope with it. Best of luck.

      Thanks so much Sam. Always great hearing from people in the trade who I respect. Definitely need to expand my marketing strategy past google and Facebook into something like a parish magazine etc. Thanks again

      Hi Matthew, great name by the way. No I haven't, I am running as a sole trader at the moment. Fingers crossed if this can become something better then maybe I can look at possibly Ltd status and VAT registration. Thanks for watching and for the comment.👍
