If the cable is in your way? Cut it out - Problem solved!I have my suspicions of what other trades get up to when the electrician isn't looking. Who would you say is an electrician's main rival on site? I have had a few run ins with other tradesmen over the years - even seen a few fights. But it doesn't have to be like that.

There's now second chances when it comes to electricity. It could just be a fault that trips the fuse or be a major fault that becomes life threatening.Whichever one it is, as an electrician you see these problems over and over again, done by DIYers or electricians with not enough experience. There is a reason you train to become an electrician, not only to be able to carry out electrical work, but to carry out SAFE electrical work by leaving the customers house knowing that they won't have any problems in the future.There are a number of common mistakes every electrician comes across in a customers property. In this episode I go over the problems that may seem to be ok, but how they can be potentially life threatening. Make sure to listen to the podcast today and not make the same mistakes. Let me know inside of the Tool Box Talks For Electricians group if you have experienced any problems too.

Being an electrician is just the start. With the skills you acquire as an electrician they can be used to build a number of different businesses. All of which are very well paid professions. Narrowing down your business to one profession and becoming the go to company to get the job done right. Many of these jobs don't require you to work away or travel miles every day for a day's work.
