Does improving your business require improving your skill? If you consider that Wal-Mart, Target and Sears stores are far from retailers of elite clothing styles and at best are carpeted warehouses that sell mass produced merchandise that can be found just about anywhere and still turn a huge profit, isn't there a place for the moderately skilled farrier that shoes a few horses a day for $40.00 a head? If we see a host of people that enjoy the "Get it cheap even if its not great" store, shouldn't the farrier industry accept the farriers that provide similar quality of farrier services to horse owners? Do all farriers have to be in the Hall of Fame? Isn't it more important to find a profitable niche and enjoy life than to make your life simply about the next clinic?
