How do you build a profitable niche inside the electrical trade? In this Toolbox Talk, James shares his route from NTL/Sky installs to running a TV/AV-first business—mounting TVs, multiroom audio, IRS/MDU systems and data—plus the real talk: dyslexia, 21 jobs by 21, going self-employed, crash-course qualifications (City & Guilds/NVQ), customer experience, subcontracting, pricing, getting stung, VAT/accountants, the pandemic hit, hospital with COVID, burnout, and the comeback—systems, friends, and saying “no” to bad jobs. If you’re an electrician or trainee wondering whether to niche down (AV, data, audio, satellite, TV mounting), this chat is your roadmap—mindset, mistakes, and the wins.Like/subscribe for more Toolbox Talks and tag a spark who needs this.
