If you had to start a career in your 30’s + with no qualifications or experience, what would you choose?

I was lucky that I had a car with a large boot that was ample for what I needed. I did get a van later on but it’s not necessary. You’re better working on your own. People can be a real hassle ( especially on Monday mornings). The only stressful part of the job I found was collecting money at the weekend, however, I got people to leave money out for me or pay on app as I got more comfortable with the job. I will say, diversify. If it’s raining you can’t do windows but you might have an inside job lined up. Word of mouth and knocking on doors is the quickest way to build up a client base. It really is a great job and there is a lot of money to be made if you put the ground work in. NEVER worry about losing a client no matter how big. Keep the good jobs, walk away from the shitty ones. Never undercharge anyone but don’t overcharge as they may be repeat customers. Remember, you work for yourself so you decide which jobs you want to do and you might drink a lot of tea with some old dears because they look forward to seeing you coming ( and, sometimes, that’s the best part of the job). Don’t worry about being shit at the start. Ask the person if the job’s done okay as you’re new to the game. I never started before 9 and worked after 3, 4 days a week and enjoyed every minute of it. Anyway, if you need to know anything else please feel free to ask.
