Apprentice Star Praises Plumbing Courses

West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has promoted the benefits of plumbing courses ahead of university education.

The new Apprentice assistant told the Daily Telegraph that some school leavers would be better of studying for vocational qualifications through avenues such as plumbing courses instead of going to university.

Ms Brady’s comments came after it was reported that the overall pass rate for A Levels rose for the 28th consecutive year, fuelling a scramble for a limited number of university places.

The business impresario said that people who complete plumbing courses and decorating courses would have the advantage over graduates in the job market as their skills are sought after and constantly in demand.

She told the newspaper: “I would rather go … and learn hairdressing or painting and decorating or plumbing. I would rather have a practical skill than a degree. It is interesting that I didn’t go to university, Lord Alan Sugar didn’t go to university.”

Ms Brady went onto say that university stifles the “magical ingredient” of the entrepreneurial spirit which is essential for people who want to set up their own business.

She told the publication: “When I had a choice of going to university or not, my belief was that university was not for people who wanted to be in business and entrepreneurism.

“Entrepreneurism is not about qualifications it is about a spirit, a drive, an energy and an ability to take risks, to see opportunities and be able to work hard enough to turn an opportunity into a business, and nobody can teach you that.”

Charlie Mullins, Britain’s wealthiest plumber, is just one successful example of someone who decided that plumbing courses would benefit them more than a three year stint at university.

After completing plumbing courses as a teenager, Mullins set up his own company at the age of nineteen and is now a millionaire.

He told the Growth Business site that he was inspired to take plumbing courses after noticing the financial benefits of becoming a plumber.

“[The plumber] was the only person I knew who had a car and went on holiday – the only person in the area that had any money,” he told the website.

People who are keen on becoming a plumber must understand that there is not a quick entry into the industry as a proper sequence of approved and accredited NVQ plumbing courses at the required level must be completed.

The City & Guilds NVQ 6129 level 2 plumbing course is the starting point for any potential plumber because it allows the ability to progress onto NVQ level 3.

Using a Small Loan to Set Up Your Business

Article by Gareth Williamson

If you’re tired of the 9 to 5, or you’ve always had the dream of being your own boss, a small loan could be just the thing for you. If you though you needed thousands of pounds to start a business, you couldn’t be further from the truth. With just a small loan of up to £500, climb aboard the gravy train and start to live the life of your dreams.

So, I’ve got a great idea for a business but how can a small loan help me get started?

Register your business nameIf you’re serious about starting a new business, you need to register its name. Pick a name that is distinctive and original, don’t go for anything too similar to existing companies or you might face legal action somewhere along the line. Once you’ve decided, you’ll need to register your company name with the national business register at a cost of £88.

Purchase a website domainWhatever type of business you’re getting into, the world wide web could be vital to its success. After you’ve registered your business, you can then buy the domain name so potential customers can find you online. Buying a domain names can cost you as little as £1.99 depending on its availability of course. Remember, this doesn’t take into account building the website or maintaining it!

Print business cardsFor just a few pounds, you can get your name and business out there. It’s well known that word of mouth is the best kind of endorsement so if you provide a good service, your customer is likely to tell their friends. Make it easier for them to give your details with a business card. Don’t worry if you’re not a designer, you can put your details onto a professional ready-made template and have a brand new business card in no time at all.

Stock upWhether your new business provides a product or a service, with just a small loan you could stock up for the future. If your business starts to take off, use the money from sales to buy more but until then – stock up with a few hundred pounds of materials or tools. If you’re well prepared you won’t have to turn down any jobs as you’ll have everything you need to fulfil them. This will also go some way to building a reputation as you provide an efficient and quality service every time!

These are just a few of the ways that a small loan will help get your business off the ground. You don’t have to use all of them, just pick and choose which is suitable for you. With just a £500 loan you could be on your way – remember Lord Alan Sugar started by selling aerials from the back of a van. This time next year, or in 18 months for those a little less ambitious, you could be a millionaire.

Program yourself for success

Article by ROY DERRICK

It is a fact in life that we genuinely can believe that we are destined to failure. We believe that we are genetically programmed to fail. If past generations have been poor then we too are destined to stay poor.

Even school can hold us back from what we want by putting us into moulds. From an early age we are taught to recite times tables or to write out lines. We are not taught to be individuals.

We wrongly believe that success is for the rich or privately educated. Indeed it is true that the c v of a privately educated person would possibly stand out above others. They would also have better self belief and confidence due to their privileged background.

However it is possible for anyone to succeed regardless of their background if they are motivated and have the right mindset to succeed.

One prime example of this is Lord Alan Sugar. He came from a humble background and went on to become a very successful businessman. He showed good entrepreneurial skills from a young age and went on to build up a very successful electronics business. He simply copied what other successful electrical companies were doing at that time but he managed to manufacture and sell his products cheaper thus enabling the less affluent in society to be able to afford these items too.

He has since gone on to become a very successful entrepreneur and even has his own successful television program encouraging other individuals to compete for the opportunity to become part of his business. Thus proving that even people from humble beginnings can succeed in life by working hard, not giving up and believing in themselves and their product.

In much the same way there are ways that others, regardless of their background, can also create success by copying what other successful people do. There are many business opportunities that will offer step by step mentoring on how to start a business from home. Often there will be very little start up costs and no need for huge capital investment, staff or an office. You merely need a computer and access to the internet. Many of these business opportunities even offer a full 30 day money back guarantee giving you the opportunity to try out the business package for a month.

Many of us dislike our everyday jobs. We leave early every morning and return home late at night. Many of us worry about job insecurity and deficits in our future pensions but we fail to take the necessary action to make lasting changes to our lives. Changes that could offer a way to achieve both our personal and career goals.

Life passes us by in our busy life and all we will have left are our memories. We need to ensure that the memories that we create are good ones spent with loved ones. Creating a healthy work/home life is one of the great benefits of starting a home based business. Choosing the right opportunity is a crucial part of the process.

Choosing the best working from home opportunity is important to help you create the future you desire. It can help to map your life towards the future that you want. It will also create the time and money that you need to help you to quit the rat race and follow your dreams and passions.

However before you embark on any working from home business it is important to thoroughly research the company and to avoid any
