Great video Jimbo... one thing about these Networking do's but cautious of the likes of them Landloards clambering for your business card. Not all are bad but as you noted in one of your previous videos.... if they want it cheap, cash in hand (no vat) they will want to then add 'extras' at your expense and then become shy about paying your invoice dragging it out months. That is if they do pay up? Also they seem to smell Fresh Blood and presume as your just starting up your a bit green behind the ears and so are an easy touch to screw over. If your gut says No... just walk. 🤔
Obviously different for different areas but in Oxford a company who used to do our electrical work. Their staff were getting 200 or just over that a day. 1 of them self employed and 1 employed.
I go to a BNI Networking group every week. I get it's very marmite with people, but I've got over 80% of my work from the group, so is WELL worth the weekly commitment. Networking is the best way forward Jimbo, I've been self employed for 12 years and that's my one piece of advice I could give to anyone starting out.
Jimbo don't be afraid to multi trade if you are handy. Keep rates per hour up and price by job if you can. I am training to be an electrician but I currently multi trade. I get currently as much as an electrician would get. On some jobs you get an hourly rate, your bit on materials and your profit. I do leaks, tap replacements, door cutting etc. You do need more tools, a lot more, I buy well second hand. I avoid landlords and builders like the plague. You are a tidy operator great example to the trade and as you become more self employed you will see how important it is. This is my second career, I was an accountant for 25 years specialising in the end in trouble shooting. I watched Tom's expansion with great interest. I hope all is well, if he is stuck tell him to contact me. There is nothing I have not seen. Brian 😃
Nice to see a fellow Welsh spark on RUclips. I would suggest removing tools you are duplicating and not using daily into a box in the car, they are always there if you need them. The weight of the bag will give you issues with your back and knees long term. Good luck with the channel.
Went to a property investors event as well I was the only spark there and when we did the whole awkward go round the room I introduced myself and said I’m a spark and you could just see all the heads turn to their partners and a “aaah electrician” with a nod and I got a few leads
Nice video Jim been watching your content while working for Tom and enjoyed them because you'd take the time to explain things to why you'd do it like that. Wish you all the success with your new venture and lock forward to watching you grow. Love the tool bag, one of those are on my shopping list to replace my Stanley fat max backbag once that is ready for retirement.
Does anyone where to buy those shallow sockets to tighten up different types of glands I’ve seen them use it in one of the videos but not sure what it’s called
Great loadout, bag and video. Nice to see you on here keep it coming.
Thanks mate 👍🏻
Plenty of folk proper worried about Tom Jimbo. Hope he's ok but it doesn't look great. Good to see you striking out on your own, good luck to you.
Just wondering why nobody has tired calling Tom.
@@roydowling2542 I have! No reply for me
He’s all good, he will explain his own time
What’s happened
Can only guess he's a bellend of a boss seems nagy's biggest turnover is his staff 😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔
Loving the videos. Unfussy and not riddled with adverts. Subbed no hesitation.
Nice bag mate keep pushing you will build a nice business for yourself you've got the personality 👍

I’m also Welsh though a lot of people don’t know for some reason 🤣
