Advice to an Apprentice.

[Alan M]

if something is going to take longer than you priced don't speed up , just take the hit on the money. learn from it the next time. it is harder to repair the damaged reputation than earn the lost money

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Don't take jobs on by yourself until you have the skill to provide a competent job within the time scale allowed and within the budget given.
Everyone needs to gain experience but not at the detriment of turning out sub standard work and letting our trade down.

All good advice above listen to your mentor, if they tell you they know every thing about tiling, they are kidding themselves. A good tiler never stops learning, we must keep up with the changes in our noble trade, that is why I still love the challenge each job brings.

An old saying "there is no such thing as a bad student, only bad teachers" enjoy the job, happy tiling folks.

I've said it before Phil, you have been in the game for 42yrs & you still go on training courses, that says it all for me.
Top bloke Top tiler.
Any advice to an apprentice,

Stop whinging and get on with it and whilst your on make a cuppa , then sweep up but not before you knock a mix up after you bring me some MORE tiles... Now hurry up.. 🙂

If you have to look twice remove it and do another cut, I heard that a fair bit.
