Do you have these questions? I looked around in the 1980's and asked these questions myself. Many opportunities have come my way and none were offering as much satisfaction and autonomy. I work when and where I chose. I make my own calendar. And I make a fine living for my family. There is rarely a slow economic season. But there are some things you must know and be willing to do for yourself. If you are willing to learn, you too can be very satisfied and well rewarded. First I want to open your eyes to the business and work in the flooring trade.

Think of these things...

Do I like to work with my hands?

Can I handle a knife without spilling my own blood?

Can I find new places with just a map and an address?

Can I work as a team with a small crew over and over again?
