Plumbing Specialist
Lots of people opt to train in the plumbing profession every single year. That is because wages can become reasonably high when working with established providers. Of course, many of the folks who gain their qualifications will register as self-employed. That allows them to set their hourly rate and earn a fortune in call-out fees. If you like the idea of becoming a plumber, you just need to do some research online. Depending on where you live in the world, there will be different methods for getting qualified and finding work.

Painter/Decorator Service
Becoming a painter could be the best idea for people who like working with their hands. Most will head off to college to learn the trade. However, we think there are many opportunities for purchasing a franchise business. Sometimes trading under a brand name people know will help you to get more work. One of our friends purchased a CertaPro franchise recently, and he has never looked back. Within the first six months, he made more than enough cash to support his family for an entire year. Best of all? It means he never has to sit behind a computer to earn his keep!

Building Contractor
Working in the construction industry will provide you with excellent earnings, so long as you have the skills required for the job. You could launch a new firm with your friends overnight. All you need is the right contacts. Your role would involve bidding for new contracts and securing work for your team. There is no getting away from the fact that you will need a few professionals on board to make the idea worthwhile. That said, there are plenty of qualified tradesmen out of work these days. So, you shouldn’t have to look too hard to find a suitable team.
That’s all we’ve got time for this morning. You should now have some great ideas about hands-on businesses you could start this year. Make sure you don’t delay too much because the global economy is looking pretty positive at the moment. Nobody can tell if the situation will be the same in a couple of year’s time. So, you need to strike while the iron’s hot and make the move quickly. When all’s said and done, only you can decide on the concepts that are right for you. We’re just presenting ideas and hoping some of them stick.
