    College vs skilled trades. What is your take?

    QUESTION 
    I work with about 1000 guys that are trades making more than 99% of white collar workers. And I personally know a lot on the outside of this job. On the other hand, my Dad was an electrician. Always broke. Great electrician but terrible business owner. The guys I know doing well with blue...

    Are service business owners allergic to hiring people to take over the boring day to day shit they do that could easily be done by someone else or something. I know 3 people with good service businesses that simply refuse. One hasn't even tried but has heard from someone it won't work. He...

    Sale multiplier on a business doing 8 mil profit over one doing 3 or 4 is a massive difference because you become a target for institutional grade investors once you get to 5 to 10 mil. (Alex Hormozi pretty much doubles the multiplier which sounds a bit extreme though). The concept makes sense...

    That was a great takeaway that stuck with me from Jordan Peterson's 12 rules book. Order and chaos. Ying and yang. Keep one foot in both, not both in one.

    Don't even need to be a qualified tradesman. Just handy with tools. Handymen without a required license will make more than an office worker. And drive around in a 160k land cruiser lol. Blue collar workers on my project make about 3.5 times what the white collars make. Maybe even a bit more...

    He was already making about 20k a month from concreters. I think he just moved on to a different one but not too sure as I haven't talked to him in a long time.

    Giving a local service business a second chance!

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Ssshhhhhhhh.... I'm not sure about in the US but in Australia it's become a nightmare to have internal employees. We are looking at a franchise model now, but with no upfront fees for the franchisee. We completely avoid the issues around employees and also the even bigger problems with...

    Maybe you're going to bed waaaay too late. I was naturally a late night person too. If your day job work isn't physical, maybe try and exhaust yourself more at the gym or something. I used to look at Jocko Willinck posting pictures of him waking up at 4am and think no way. Now that's like...

    "When you win the night you own the morning." After work i was in the habit of crashing out almost immediately. Even though I was still waking up at 3 or 4am for a 5am start, my day is so much better by just spending that extra time preparing the night before. I think this will help me to tune...
