Hi everyone,
Just want peoples thoughts on stepping out of your comfort zone at work. Currently I work during the week as an apprentice plumber, but on the weekend I do work for my 'to-be' father in law operating a small dump truck - nice and laid back work. Now I have been working on the bobcat a bit lately when I have been given the chance (under logbook) in which apparently "I am a natural at" .
The father in law runs quite a successful excavation business that does most of their work through the Railway, he is very well known and very good at what he does. Here comes the stepping out of my comfort zone part - he wants me to get my HR (Heavy Rigid) truck license, bobcat and excavator tickets so I can take over the business in a few years!
I know it might not sound like a big thing on paper, but what I get concerned about is how would or do I fill such big shoes!? Am I thinking about it too much? Should I just "Do it"? I love driving the machinery, no doubt about that - I just don't want to tarnish the reputation he has built...
Bit of a pointless thread but just needed to get my thoughts down into words.
Cheers,
Andrew.
