He wouldn't be honest with us anyway. It's clear daddy funded junior's socialite days, yet junior still feels a need to criticise the hand-to-mouth working poor people, there is nothing to respect here.

Knew I'd seen that F40 in Jamie Beeston profile before.

If you have to come on here and ask people to tell you how to earn £5k per week you clearly aren't ever going to earn £5k per week

I'd look at it like this - I can either sell:

1 thing to make £260,000;
10 things to make £26,000;
100 things to make £2,600;
1000 things to make £260; or
10,000 things to make £26.

The time-to-sale, cashflow and likelihood-of-cash-in-hand are different at each level.

What competitive advantages do you have at each of those levels?

Edit: oh right, f*&k me - this thread is a toss off; my bad.

rofl I've known Jamie for years. First met around 2003 when we both had a TVR.

It's not funded by daddy. He saw a gap in the market, worked towards it and took some risks and maybe had a bit of luck along the way.

You don't know his background (and it's not my place to disclose it), but let's just say that assumption is the mother of all fkups...

Definitely rode a wave of luck smile

I think our friends attitude says all it needs to about his chances of finding his own luck!

OP: Whilst PH is full of passionate, enthusiastic people whom you could learn from, Buy me a drink at a PH Social sometime and I'll happily talk to you, if you can find your way to some manners angel

What do you want to know?

I obtained A - levels, obtained civ eng degree with first class honors. Worked in industry for a number of years designing temporary/permanent works and set out permanent works in the field when required.

All I can give you is respect if you are self made, but you've still not answered my question RE qualifications + day job.

To get yourself in a position where you may earn 5k a week, you'll probably have to get on with people and make a good impression of yourself.

Never mind, pal. 5k p/w isn't everything.

£500 is a contractors day rate.

It would appear that the OPs earning potential has already peaked.

- OK, so a degree that provided you with an opening into the industry, following which you gained some fairly basic design and site experience - but not yet Chartered (i.e. professionally qualified), which is your 'glass ceiling'. All the Civils graduates that I mentor usually achieve Chartership in 4-5 years on a graduate training scheme which includes rotation between design, site, commercial, etc., so I suggest that Chartership needs to be your next realistic goal.
FWIW, I joined the industry at 16 and achieved Chartership and latterly Fellowship, demonstrating that hard work does pay. However, £5k per week is and will remain a pipe dream!

It is not an usual rate in oil and gas consultancy.

Unusual?
I work with quite a few guys in O&G (I'm in consultancy too), but I think the opportunities for such sums have dwindled. Happy to be proven wrong though!
Meanwhile, back in the sub-£5k/week world...... idea
