Sorry to hear that you are leaving, but like everyone has said stick at it. I wrote about 25 letters at the atart of the year to builders, property developers and a few plumbers explaining my case, nothing to begin with until I followed them all up and got in with a local succesful builder who has now unindated me with work, I hate to tell you this but im really busy at mo and even giving jobs to friends i know in the trade, for a small fee of course.
So stick at it and try another avenue of selling yourself!!!!

If you've got more work than you can handle yourself, perhaps you should sieze the opportunity and expand your business. Try employing a good tiler who isn't into the whole businessman thing. If it works out, and you get some sort of profit, hunt for more work with other builders. That's what I would do.

It's kind of like with the ladies; if you're already seeing someone, it seems you're instantly more attractive to others.
