I've only ever posted a couple of time about different things but liked looking and seeing from a far what's going on on arbtalk, with the negativity around on here I thought I would share this, bear with It's probably a long winded affair. Apologies for the spelling in advance

 

So I sit here thinking about the past year, today a year ago I applied to college for my ten week tree course to get a small chunk of knowledge and my starting tickets. I've been gardening since the age of 8, I'm now 24 and loved every minute of it, having done my hort course, and wanting to build on it with something a little different so back to college I go for my arb course, so on arb talk I go turns out there's a tree firm near me that need a groundy me wanting to know more get in touch he's says he need someone for a couple of days so I booked them off work and the fun begins, green tree works glemsford, had a fun couple of days thanks, back to work I go working evening and weekend gardening to save money for college, the Summer goes through and September is here finally I do the ten week course and finish in December wow I've got a lot to learn, but thanks to tutors and mates how backed me up all the way, with my new tickets and little knowledge and consent eye on arbtalk I've spent the last two and a bit month doing tree work and gardening buying saws, climbing kit, truck and chipper as I go and loving life, working my but off to get to here long may I keep working hard, a year on I'm digging a customers allotment as the light fades it seems that life hasn't changed I'm still chasing the dream of being self employed but life's good I intend to leave my job in the end of April to go self employed and subbing for anyone that wants me.

Likewise mate I'm just starting out in this game but dreams come if u keep going and don't let people put you off listen to the positive people not the negative ones, when you get to your goal it will feel so sweet as it wasn't easy to get there. Trust me I've done it once with my previous business and it worked time and effort will pay off in the end I'm sure.
