It really has been exciting.  As soon as I knew that Ed&#8217;s was the right venture for me, I just wanted to get on with the process and get myself ready for opening shop.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signal-2020-09-26-195330-11-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Rich puts his rock climbing skills to good use\" class=\"wp-post-1368 wp-image-1380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signal-2020-09-26-195330-11-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signal-2020-09-26-195330-11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signal-2020-09-26-195330-11-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signal-2020-09-26-195330-11-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/edsgardenbusinessfranchise.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/signal-2020-09-26-195330-11-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Rich deploying his rock climbing skills! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My training&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My initial training period has gone really well. Furthermore, my training has been of a high standard and well-pitched for my needs. It has been varied and interesting.  I like that my initial training had a good split between being office-based and out on the road. I feel very well prepared for starting my business.  Furthermore,  being a rock climbing instructor myself, I understand just how important it is to put all the training blocks in place to really make a success of things. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting my (lawn mower!) wheels in motion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201d I felt really excited, and a bit nervous, when I switched my business on. I know it&#8217;s only natural to feel like that though.  The experienced Ed&#8217;s business owners I&#8217;ve met all said they felt exactly the same.  However, I am just a few weeks in and I feel a lot more confident already. I would describe my life at the moment in three words &#8211; busy, busy, busy! Lots of work coming through and the weather has been very kind to me. I have had some really interesting jobs too which is great. I am thoroughly enjoying the work.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The future? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I love waking up in the morning looking forward to my working day ahead. It is an excellent feeling to know I am working hard to build a business that is mine. So all in all, I&#8217;m extremely positive about what&#8217;s to come. In summary, I guess things couldn&#8217;t really be any better. It&#8217;s just onwards and upwards for my business now. &#8220;<br><br><br><strong>We look forward to giving future updates on how Rich\u2019s business grows.<\/strong><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Garden Business in Oxford south \u2013 Rich is on the ascent!
