It took me a few years to figure it out, but ...... ๐ ๐๐๐
โ
I needed to go on my laptop and learn what these
Millennials & Gen Z are doing
Whatโs all this online connectivity
With Ads, Social Media and Sales
Complicated? Confusing? Complex?
๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐
โ
Itโs very simple
โ
A lot easier than learning trade
โ
And much more profitable then working in one
The beauty is
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
Itโs simple and easy to learn and enjoyable
Takes ๐๐ time to do
๐๐ very lucrative
Once you go online with YOUR CONSULTING business
You will never look back
Other then to wonder why you took so long to take action
Comment โActionโ and explore your possibilities

Do you find yourself walking mindlessly at work
I remember when I was in my 20โs working as a machinist 6 years into the trade
Thinking to myself โI need to start my own machine shopโ
Guess what I didโฆโฆ
I opened my first machine shop a year later with my high school friend
After 1 year in business and a failed partnership, I sold my interest in that business and went onto my own to start a welding shop business
Fast forward several years later both mine and my friendโs companies were bankrupt and out of multi-thousands of dollars
Worst part of all this story is the money was not only ours; most came from family
What a feeling of devastation and defeat
Lesson learnt โฆโฆโฆ..
โYou donโt need MONEY to start a businessโ
WHY
You only need to know how
If you donโt โฆโฆโฆ.
Ask somebody that knows
Are you surrounding yourself with the right people?

When I think back at all the years working in the trades and construction and the long days spent to get the job done and completed on time
โ
I now wonder; what was I thinkingโฆโฆ..
โ
I wasnโt doing it because of the great money I would earn,
โ
It wasnโt because of the time off I would get after the job
โ
It wasn't because I loved it sooo much
โ
It wasn't because I was changing someone life
๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐
๐๐๐๐
I was doing it because
I WANTED TO OWN MY BUSINESS
I knew if I worked hard and did the right thing
ONE DAY
I would own a multi million dollar business with many employees (and I did)
I HAD
A president to run the company
A number of other companies
And many investments
Little did I know that would never have all my free time and Financial Independence
Even though my contracting company was able to earn multi 7 figures
Grew my business to over 30 employees
Hired a operations manager
A office manager
Supervisors and support staff
๐ช๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฃโฆโฆ. ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฃโฆโฆ. ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฃ
THERE WAS NEVER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE OR ALL THE FREE TIME
REALITY IS
20% of new businesses fail during the first 2 years
45% fail during the first 5 years
65% fail during the first 10 years
AND ONLY 25% MAKE IT TO 15 YEARS
The average business owner salary is $59,000 per year. Included in those numbers are bonuses, profit sharing, and commissions
WHY, WHY, WHY
Poor management, Recessions, Inflation, Challenges in varying markets and industries
Gross sales against cost of goods sold are always fluctuating
Overhead costs
Wages, Employees, Attrition
And the list goes on and on and on
In a commodity market itโs always going to be about price & quality
AND A RACE TO THE BOTTOM
IS THIS THE BUSINESS YOU ARE IN or WANT TO BE IN?
If you want to make it in business
You will NEED to continually offer more value
๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ struggling to sell your products or services with added value & decreasing profits
๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ struggling to provide your customer with no choice to buy from you
๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ struggling to have your customer break down your doors to buy from you
๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ struggling to supply your customers with products or services

Are you struggling with not enough guys that want to work?๐
Too much work and not enough help to get it done โน๏ธ
Or maybe you just don't have enough jobs ๐
Trying to keep the crews busy ๐
Need help to quote the jobs ๐ข
Or just canโt make a decent profit on every job ๐
Whatever your problem is
There is always a solution ๐
Sometimes all you need to do is ask for ๐๐๐๐ ๐
And ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐
There it is
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
When you put it out there
The universe has a way of bringing it back to you ๐ฅฐ
Try It
Then let me know how it worked!!! ๐

To all my friends celebrating this wonderful day!
Although this day is celebrated, it can also be a day to inspire others around us that may or may not be thankful everyday
Today is the day leaders rise and awaken the discouraged, tired, frustrated, and lonely and inspire and give them hope
Always know that we are all loved by someone, somewhere, and this in itself is worthy of daily thankfulness
Whatever our situation or circumstances are we can be thankful for our minds to decide what we put in it
Our natural and human ability to drive the thoughts and will of this amazing organ is where we can learn to be the drivers of ourselves and inspire those around us
Take hold of this day, make it the best for yourself, those around you and carry it forward each and everyday
Thank you for being my ๐

โ
The mind and their ability to solve problems is what makes them different
They were able to change how to think
Yes that's right...... They think differently......
Their ability to think strategically is what sets them apart
This simple yet not complicated change in thinking inside the brain, is how they are able to move and change their business & their life

What if you woke up every day with the freedom to do ANYTHING you wanted?
What if you could bridge the gap between your dreams and reality โ now?
What if you were living a life on purpose and making daily strides towards what you really want?
Guess What ........

If you are a trades person
Bored With Your Work
Sick With Your Chosen Career
Spinning Your Wheels With What To Do Next
Know that there is life after what YOU decided to do and don't feel fulfilled
AND
Know that YOU should be doing something else or different

Do not live a life of regret just because you are earning a good living

Ever heard of the term?
I Used to Wear Golden Handcuffs
When I was younger as machinist working on my lathe thinking all day long what I could do; what can I learn; what can I sell, to have more fun at my job, love my work, earn my current income without having to work all these hours for just a comfortable lifestyle
โ
Do you ever feel like that?
โ
Or, is that you today?

What does your inner circle look like?
Are the people youโre spending the most time with:
โข Complaining about their current circumstances.
โข Talking about their problems.
โข Talking about why theyโre stuck.
โข Talking about other people.
โข Uninspired.
Hey, itโs not theyโre fault โ theyโre probably great people that ended up in a vicious cycle of falling victim to the obstacles in their life.
Maybe itโs time for you to join a group of people who are really making it happen - and want to help you make quantum leaps in your life ...
