Beyond just the skills for the job, a General Contractor is also often self-employed, which means there's an entire other set of skills they must know, like marketing, interpersonal communication, and basic organization. If you can't constantly grow your business, then you'll be dead in the water. It's as much about getting the jobs as it is doing the jobs. It's not that those skills are impossible or hard to learn, so that's the good news. The bad news is that this isn't easy money.
I've known many contractors throughout my life and they are usually the guys who buy a house at an early age and do pretty well for themselves. They've got a four year head start on anyone going to college, and that's if you can get out of college in four years. Just remember that you may need to buy a truck and equipment, so what you save on school books you pay for somewhere else.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
