what do you do if you cant climb?

[Mark Bolam]

I'd like to think I could climb well into my 60's if nothing disastrous happens, but I'd be kidding myself if I thought I would still be quick enough commercially by then.

 

I'm watching this thread with interest as I haven't got a clue what I'll do when I hang up my harness.

you n me both Mark

[Bing!]

Do you run your own company Mark? How about you bring on a young climber, get him up to speed then kick back and concentrate on the buisness side of it? Climb when you have to but otherwise it's down to your team on site.

[Mark Bolam]

I do have decent climbers who I get in for bigger jobs, and may well have to go down the young climber route one day BUT - my nearest competitor operates like this, so if we ever price the same job I always win, simply because he is paying three wages out of the job and me only two.

 

It's a tough one, there is no simple solution.

i'm going to win the lottery:biggrin:

 

Seriously though, halfway through Uni, once that is done it should open more doors with better longevity, plus got a few business enterprise ideas that are being prepped and started...

[Bing!]

Does your competitor creak and hobble his way out or does he skip home on the sunny side of the street whistleing happy tunes?

If you end up with the same setup as the opposition you will have to beat him on quality and efficiency.

 

Easy really ; )

[Bing!]

My intention was to win the lottery too, the wife reckons I stand a better chance if I actually buy a ticket!

[RobArb]

i play twice a week, by direct debit... don't even need to worry about forgetting to buy a ticket. I'm just waiting for the e-mail

Its something we all know we have to face sooner or later and certainly when the physio starts seeing more and more of you , it starts becoming a more serious question .

Im gonna try not worry about it the way i think is that everything happens for a reason & usually something good will come out of it
