You’ve been climbing for a few years, and you’re good at what you do, but maybe you feel like it’s time to branch out and do your own thing, or maybe you just need a change of scenery. So where do you begin? Today on the podcast, we’re gonna look at one of the easiest and best ways for an up-and-coming arborist to transition from being an employee to being self-employed.
