Business lessons are everywhere. I’ve long been a student of the game of life, and one of my biggest curriculums of education is business. Due to the rapid changing landscape and structures of the plumbing and mechanical industries, we all have a lot to learn. The lessons exist regardless of the size, location or current structure of your business.
I’ve been very fortunate to be the founder of multiple companies during my career to this point. Due to this fact, I’ve had the great opportunity to observe my own behavior changes and challenges as my companies have grown. Add in the fact that I’ve been able to be involved in coaching and training some of the best in the business for over a decade now, and the founder lessons are abundant. One lesson that keeps coming back around is the simple fact that founders are often challenged as operators as the business grows.
