Things dont get easier, you just get better.
A question that I get a ton is the classic, "how long does it take"
Personally I have been trade for over 2 years and I am just getting a consistent edge in the market. I know others who were able to get the skill set in months.
Remember not to use others journey as a measuring stick to how yours should look. If you keep grinding you will get better. And as you get better you will find trades get easier and easier.
It is embarrassing how I used to take trades when I was beginning. Just trust the fact that If you keep working, talking to people with the right skills, and asking the right questions you have no choice but to get better.
