If you own ur own business why can’t you just hire techs to work for you then you can just stay at home and do paperwork and phone calls and stuff. It’s still less work then being out in the field. And you do make more money.

I wish people would consider all these factors before saying "Just start your own company" I don't wanna go into business for myself because I'm not interested in sales nor managing or developing a business plan. I realized im happy being about to clock out and go home. I am thinking of quitting the trade because of Low Wages in this trade.

Just outwitting 20 halfwits isn't as easy as it sounds. The question is, do you care.

Good stuff!.. waiting to hear back from the state for my cac #s and then I'll be full sprint on my own. In the meantime I'm paying myself to learn the ins and outs of the business aspect of things and networking in my area. Great content brother. 👍

As a tradesman for a couple decades this is my observation: if a tradesman does not want to get tossed out like trash when they get old, then they either need to eventually work for themselves or through a union. Otherwise, it is just back breaking work for not enough pay to ever retire, and it is likely your body will be played out when you are in your 50s. So you can only retire and comfortable provide for your family by either making substantial money working for yourself or getting a retirement through a union while still making a decent buck. Union work seems less every year and not in every area, so working for yourself might be the only option. The trap is working for someone else your entire career non union for what seems like a decent buck. If you do not want to work for yourself and no union is available, I would consider state work that has a pension.

I didn't start my own over money. I could work for larger AC companies and be worked to death while making good money. But those places are high stress churn bucket. Money without quality of life is no life you want. Sure it takes time to build a company, if you view anything about the HVAC business as work like making videos, blogging keeping up running the company telling yourself that if you think you are going to work remotely for a day then you can pretend to work somewhere else.

After working for a number of companies for 14 years I came up with a plan and now looking back 14 years later of working for myself. I had some really good years and I had some years that make me wonder how I survived. When you are working for someone else for a paycheck you never consider those things. Those hard years only provide flavor now to my otherwise weathered HVAC career of 28 years. Not bragging, just explaining. I am nothing special, just dedicated to those I provide service for and that in and of itself is a hard commodity to find these days.

I like the variety that HVAC provides after putting in the time and effort I approached it from the stand point of working everyday. If someone lives in my area and willing to pay for service I will go and see what I can do for them. At the end of the day HVAC Service is what runs this business. It doesn't stop to take a day off / phone it in to work remotely? If you want real work HVAC will provide you that and in person.

If you go into business for yourself, for it to be a success you have to be in it for the right reasons. Taking time off isn't one of them. You need to be able to eat, sleep and drink whatever the business is. Since I started my own I have never once taken a vacation, I work every day for 14 years. There are lulls in that time that I take breaks but they are not really planned because if I have a paying customer on the line I will drop everything at a moments notice. If you can't do that I doubt you will see any success in HVAC.

Scott Russell says:

I started my own gig in August 2020. Im a plumber/gas fitter. I do heating. I agree that it’s very challenging. One of the hardest things is staying motivated after you get a few big jobs in the record books. You get a little comfortable & there isn’t anyone telling you to go to work. It takes constant self discipline. So rewarding though!!

Tommy Kellett says:

Hey man great video! I'm about to start up my own company and ease my way into it. Any advice on software that could help me? Business, load calculation, duct design, etc?

John Mastie says:

I saw the Ramsey building, have you done his program? Thanks for your videos.

Anyone who starts they’re own hvac company should go straight to the local union hall and become a union contractor, you’d be an idiot to not, you get great business, you make money and your guys are taken care of, win-win for everyone. Non union companies= work hard and line your owners pockets.
