I find most people suffer from at least one (and more commonly two) of the following: insufficient attention to detail; poor time management; and bad organization skills.
This is especially true in the trades. If you're able to:
- be on time
- respond to emails/texts, and especially: phone calls
- give quotes
Then if you're even halfway competent, the world is your oyster. Please come do work for me!
If you can manage people and budgets, you can have more work than you'll know what to do with (assuming there's work available).
The inability of many people to focus their attention and prioritize their work is shocking to me. This isn't just for the stereotypical "younger adult" either, this seems to apply across the board (and especially to boomer-aged adults!).
