If you’re a craftsman, if you’re a carpenter, if you’re a builder, if you’re a contractor, there’s really no reason that you can’t be successful at work wherever you are.

There are different areas of work that fall into the specialist category, but it really boils down to the work you’re doing and the kind of people who are hiring you.

A lot of people in this industry refer to themselves as “craftsmen” (or “carpenters” in some areas), but in reality, if you’re working in any of the industries you’ve listed, you may not be working in a particular craft. It all comes down to your skill, your knowledge, and your willingness to learn.


One of the biggest things to consider when starting out is how you will get the most value out of whatever level you are at.


There are a lot of different ways to go about this, but the best way to get valuable information is to come to meetings, talk to co-workers, or go to conferences. Most of the time you will get more value by working in a group as opposed to one-on-one.


The biggest problem people have when starting out in the field of engineering, science, or technical field is they get too much info from one source. So if you’re working in a field that you’re not really passionate about, try to diversify your knowledge.


This is especially true if you’re working in areas where you do not have a lot of experience. It only takes a few minutes to learn to read through the web, and most of the information you will get from a web search will be of the most useful. You will learn some useful information if you read through a lot of different articles at a time.


I use this strategy when I do my own web searches.


If I’m trying to find the best new product from a company that I have little experience with, I’ll often look at different products that are similar to the one I am trying to find and see what they are selling. This usually saves me a lot of time and money.


The same goes for reading articles online. When you find a really good article on a topic you need to read, take the time to read it. You might just learn something useful. One time I went to a really interesting article and found that I really liked it. I took it all day and read it over and over again. I then learned about how to make my own products. It was worth it, and I went home with a new idea for producing my own product.


If you’re a hobbyist, you probably already know this, but it's worth repeating anyway.


When it comes to marketing and selling yourself, there is no substitute for direct sales. You can't always market to people online all the way up to the people who actually matter to your business. You need to know who to contact. Once you know who to contact, you can start building relationships that can help you sell your products to hundreds, or even thousands, of people.

I think a big problem with having too many products in your niche is that you end up spending a lot of energy trying to sell people on your stuff when in reality, the most successful people in their business, all sell to people they know. I've seen examples of this first hand. I am an engineer for a large aerospace company, and I have worked with people in their field for years, but I never really felt like I did anything more than just being a salesperson.
