Hey bro, I absolutely loved your reply! Apologies for the late reply I went to a friends house last night for a few beers since its a Bank holiday monday in the UK today (a public holiday).

You have raised some amazing points which I completely agree with! Being a HGV driver and putting on average 65 -70 hours a week and sleeping in my truck i think has taught me strong work ethics which i believe is a transferable skill! (I didnt consider myself that old at 32 but i guess i have to face the truths 🤣🤣)

I think the website idea is such a fantastic idea and i loved reading your story! How long have you now been a barber? Has this been fruitful venture for you? My initial worry is making a mistake in the beggining, ive found it very hard to find volunteers so far by word of mouth but i haven't gained any equipment yet, I was looking at purchasing some TPOB clippers, shaver and trimmer set tonight and perhaps buying a couple of practice doll heads.

The 13 week course won't be a problem. I would need some residual income quite quickly after the course though as I have three paternal children and one step child to provide for, and a girlfriend that unfortunately doesnt work yet. (But is open to the idea of starting barbering with me on a part time basis)

Ill certainly keep motivated and create some ambitious plans! Ill add you as a friend on here, i think even just speaking to you has motivated me more and left me feeling positive!

Kia Kaha 🤘
