About the Book

A comprehensive book written from the authors experience of 30 years in the construction trades. Filled with daily habitual how-to ideas that will encourage you to be a better worker and keep your job longer. ** Although it is easily one of the most difficult, demanding and dangerous jobs in the world, working in the construction industry also carries with it many rewards, both financial as well as personal. Most young people who join the construction trades have dollar signs in their eyes, but do not have the heart to follow through with many of the difficulties associated with this line of work. However, with this book, you'll be able to learn a number of new habits that you can implement into your daily work life, to help you truly appreciate the work that you do, and make this career of yours a long-lasting one. Regardless of the trade that you have chosen, this book has applications for everyone, including sheet metal workers, laborers, carpenters, heavy equipment operators, plumbers, electricians and much more. Regardless of the aspect of the construction industry you are in, this book will speak to you, and help you especially in the tough times. Many people are saying that individuals in the construction industry do not have the work ethic that young men had many years ago. The problem is, every industry is saying the same thing, but it is untrue. Work ethic is still a vital aspect of any job, regardless of what it is, and just like in any other aspect of work or life, there is room for improvement. With this in mind, remember that this is your chosen trade, it did not choose you. So, do your very best, because small changes both in your life and on the job can have dramatic impacts on the rest of your life, and the small changes can reap spectacular rewards. This book covers a variety of things that people do, don't do or have done in the past while working in the construction industry. Years ago, it was an extremely harsh trade, and you had to have a thick skin and a tougher body otherwise you would not last long. However, using my experience in the past and my 30 years in construction, you can learn how to avoid typical mistakes that young people make in the construction industry, as well as some innovative tips that will make your life and your job so much better. As with any career choice, there are going to be pros and cons. In the construction industry, you get up early in the morning, get home late at night, and you are worse than the mailman is; there is no weather that stops you. Although these sound like bad things, you generally are paid well for your hard work, you do not need extensive schooling, and you do not have to wear a suit and tie every day. Some people enjoy the genuine camaraderie that comes with working in construction, because it is a team effort to get the job done. Also, considering future aspects, working in construction trades will always have an extensive need. There will always be more people being born, technology advancing, new homes and businesses being built, new roads being paved and much more. You are encouraged to take this book, discover the differences that can make for you in your life, as well as your career, and reap the wonderful rewards of a job well done.
