Okay so I'm 27 and it's time to walk in my forefathers footsteps and start a small construction business. I have been in home construction for as long as I can remember, and occasional commercial work. My entire family is an owner/operator of many trades all over this wonderful country. They do it with ease, and really impress me with their ability to be organized, talented, and professional. This is on both my mother, father, and in-laws side of my family tree. So after years of working and watching family, friends, and employers run their own biz, I now have the fever... Now they have all had ups and down to say the least, but they stay busy, or make ends meet come January 1st at the very least. So this brings me to the point of this discussion, "WHY DO I FEAR STARTING MY OWN BUSINESS!!!!???".
So before turning it loose I will let you guys in on a little bit about myself. I have been in residential construction since the age of 12 I have built numerous houses with my father, father-in-law, friends, employers. The problem I have today is I have plenty of good working knowledge, great sales sick, but I can't seem to organize the beginning stages of my company. I'm afraid of how to find leads, and if work slows down where well I find the means to provide for my family. I believe the Lord puts us all where we need to be and I feel like he is telling me to pull the plug, squeeze the trigger, poop or get off the pot. If any of you old-timers in the business have any suggestions or ideas, or even your personal experiences please feel free to post. Once again I thank you for reading and taking the time. God bless! And for those who are wondering what the exact topic is it's basically how you run a business for beginners a lot of the people new here are new to opening their own business so basic's are a plus.
