I have a good friend, they have known each other since childhood, but somehow life has divorced and a close friendship has not developed. After leaving school, he immediately went into construction and works there to this day. He started, like most, with a helper, but quickly got up and in 2 years began to work for himself. An ordinary guy, no building education, but very smart and handy.
In the process of work, he discovered his talent and occupied a certain niche in decoration, namely, he makes embossed decoration on various surfaces (walls, floor, ceiling). Draws sketches, makes layouts and shapes. And he even developed his own technology using his homemade tools, which he successfully developed.
In fact, this market for finishing works in small towns is small, but constant. There is little competition. Artistic works are very expensive and not everyone can pull. If you set reasonable prices, the orders are stable, and every year you can freely travel a couple of times not to the cheapest cities and countries.
At that time (about 5 years ago), he had an income of 100-120 tr. per month. Agree that good money?! What are not bad, this is a good sum nowadays!
By coincidence, we met about two weeks ago, just before the New Year. We sat in a cafe, talked, as is usually the case between old acquaintances: about life, about family, about work.
It turned out that his earnings had fallen and did not exceed 40,000 rubles / month. And the following picture emerged:
When his business was at its best, and the money came out about 150 thousand rubles, the Sarafan radio worked, and orders outstripped opportunities. It was a good time for him: rest, good cars for children, himself, his wife, more than one hundred loans, etc.
And at that time he decided to take people into his team and teach his author's technology to take maximum orders. Everything would be fine, but over the past 3 years, he has trained 6 people, 5 of whom subsequently split from him and are now earning on their ownin the same direction as he. As a result, competition was created in a relatively small city!
Incomes have dropped significantly and the pocket is significantly less, now he is thinking about where and in what area it is still possible to earn money, since no one canceled loans.
So, out of the blue, you can kill a good job, in which he previously did not overwork much, earning a lot of money.
What are the criteria for choosing a good master?
