From Total Novice to Confident Painter: How a Little Help Can Go a Long Way

When I decided to redecorate my flat, I had no idea where to start. I wasn’t just a beginner—I was a total novice. Fortunately, two incredibly generous friends stepped in to lend a hand. They stayed for five days, offering not just their skills but their patience and encouragement.

Day 1: Learning the Basics

On the first day, my role was simple: tea-and-coffee maker, sandwich provider, and paint-run person. While they painted, I observed, asked questions, and absorbed as much as I could. Watching them work was like attending a crash course in decorating.

Day 4: Confident and Capable

Fast forward a few days, and I was rolling paint, cutting in, and feeling surprisingly confident in my new skills. Every evening, we’d plan the next day’s work over a well-deserved glass—or two—of wine, adjusting our roles as we went. When another friend popped in to join us, we flexed our tasks and made it work seamlessly.

The Big Realisation

Here’s what struck me: It wasn’t that I couldn’t do it—I just needed a little guidance and support to figure out how.

And isn’t that the case with so many things in life and business?
