    Lmaoo, running a trades company (I do) is NOTHING like those other 2

    In the Trades, you have to hire out, trust, and inevitably, fix shit, alot. You also have to deal with pissy or shady clients who pretend something is wrong and refuse to pay. Dealing with subs can be a nightmare too, esp early on. You don’t just hang out at a home depot and find quality staff lol.

    I would NOT recommend to you.

    Someone starting out or with low income, absolutely can be worth getting into. You have no idea how much work you’re setting yourself up for, which will likely result in a net loss as your other businesses will suffer TREMENDOUSLY as a trades based biz sucks up 98% of your time and energy




  • Tell them no, and then ask, “do you want us to do the work or would you rather go elsewhere?” This is the price.

    Altho if you wanna buy the part yourself, I’ll take $5 off the total price (assuming the part is a couple hundred)

    TLDR: honestly chase these ppl away. They’re always a headache. Let em be someone else’s.
