I'm not good with forums...
I made a post 2 years ago about building a tiny house and trying to make a business from it.
It would never have worked the way I wanted. Instead I sold that tiny house for enough to buy a beat up work truck and the tools to start my own construction company with the goal of eventually becoming a general contractor and letting others do the physical work, while I make a little off the top.
In , 2 months time I learned you can't hire skill and motivation, I had to scrap my entire thought process..
I started hiring young motivated guys, with no previous construction experience to help me frame houses, and started off by bidding low and barely making any profit and sometimes losing money in the first year.
2 years later I have a full crew of Highly motivated badass carpenters that I can trust with every aspect of the job.
Last week I purchased an LLC and scheduled my General Contractors license exam..
My gameplan for this years is to use my badass employees to help me by putting down their hammers.
I plan to Sub-contract most of my work in the future and use my guys to keep track of the subcontractors and make sure the work gets done properly and on time..
this is my audible review I just left
I never leave reviews, call me lazy, an a$$hole, or whatever, but honestly I have thousands of books and hundreds of audio books, and have never felt motivated enough to give a dam about leaving a review.
Until now..
I read millionaire fast lane 2 years ago, and immediately quit my job as an hourly wage carpenter, to start my own construction company framing houses, it's taken me 2 years to get to the point where I have outgrown my goals .
I just purchased an LLC and have scheduled a general contractor license exam and I'm ready to take my business to the next level, now that I have motivated employees that I have personally trained from the ground up to be able to become project managers rather than hammer swingers..
As with each endeavor, stress and anxiety is rampant right now and I've come to learn that, that means I'm progressing..
MJ started it all for me, and though I'm nowhere near where I need to be, I can honestly say his books "audiobooks" in particular have awakened a fire in me like non before...
Thank you,
William Plank
