Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a carpet installer do?

Carpet installers install carpeting in private homes, offices, airports, retail stores, restaurants, hospitals, and many other types of structures. They evaluate and measure the space and determine the amount of carpet that is needed. They then plan the layout and take traffic patterns and other factors into account. They measure, cut, and stretch the carpet to fit the area and install the required padding. Carpet installers also position the carpet seams to make sure the carpet is durable and looks appealing. They often use tack-less strips and glue to install the carpet. They also use a variety of tools including carpet shears, wall trimmers, power stretchers, knee kickers, heat irons, and loop pile cutters.

What kind of training does a carpet installer need?

Carpet installers typically need at least a high school diploma. Most learn their skills informally through on the job training, but some complete formal apprenticeship programs. Most carpet installers start out as assistants and perform simple duties such as stretching carpet and installing padding. They move on to more advanced responsibilities as they gain the necessary skills and experience. Many carpet installers gain professional certification such as the Certified Floorcovering Installer designation to remain competitive in the field. Certification requirements include minimum experience and passing an examination. Carpet installers must keep their skills up to date and stay abreast with advancements in the field. They complete additional training as needed throughout their careers.

What are the prospects for a career as a carpet installer?
