what other line of buisness do you do other than tree work? Are they successful? Is there anything you wish you had done a long time ago that would have made you better off financially. I'm trying to plan for the future so while I'm fit and able I want to try and exploit as many different ideas as possible.

 

We concentrate on treework.

Being financially better off isn't the key driver. Fulfilment is. I enjoy what I do and so do the guys. I'm endeavouring to create a legacy that will run and evolve itself with or without me. Yes, there is an element of wealth creation. I'm content with the bills paid and a bit to buy nice things if I want.

 

Focus on what you enjoy and do it well. It's all fine and dandy thinking you'll spend your life earning a pot of cash to spend thru retirement. Life is a journey. It doesn't have to be a struggle and more often than not folk realise this too late.

 

I could have got into building and development back in the 80's. Glad I didn't as with my gung-ho attitude I'd probably have asbestosis or some other building related disease. Also, I don't like the character of most developers so not sure I'd have liked myself.:lol:

Tree nursery work

 

 

If I had my time again I would in hindsight do tree work. My dream/goal as a teenager was to plant my own woodland and watch it grow. You get caught up in the here and now, then 20 years have slipped by!

 

Truck driving is probably the easiest physically, no assets to deal with and the simpler way to make a living. But it is soul destroyingly boring and unfulfilling.
