Tom Land shares how he's taking the reins of a family flooring business, navigating sanding mishaps, setting boundaries with clients, and dreaming big with his eyes on high-end market expansion.

What’s Inside:

• From teenage apprentice to business owner: Tom’s journey stepping into his dad’s 40-year flooring legacy
• Why setting clear boundaries and charging deposits can transform your business (and your sanity)
• School gyms, Devon hotels, and the nightmare job that nearly broke him—plus what it taught him
• How social media, confidence, and strategic growth are shaping the next phase of Little Sutton Flooring
• The real cost of underpricing and over-promising—and how to fix it

Memorable Quote:

“Don’t try and run until you can walk… At 18, I was sanding village halls thinking I knew it all—and learned the hard way.”
