Eye-Opening Insights:

 

[00:03:50] “I had been an employee since I got outta high school, in framing and, in the construction industry. And I'd been, I'd worked myself up, you know, to a foreman position and, uh, a big production company where we did condos and, and, uh, tracked home projects and things like that. So the next step was, well, is either stay there, do that, or move on to do something else. But I, I truly enjoyed the custom home, part of it and I didn't really, hadn't really crossed paths with any custom home builders that much as far as, you know, framing contractors. So, uh, I just thought that my skills at that time qualified me to, to work in that industry. And so, uh, I just, I just took the chance and thought I can, you know, I can do this and, uh, Put in the time and the effort and all of a sudden that's what I was doing.”

 

[00:10:09] “But, I learned early on that the success comes from, uh, pursuing, uh, perfection and, um, doing the right thing. Uh mm-hmm. Being, I, I didn't try to be anything other than what I was naturally, but, or what I felt wasn't, pardon me. Perfect. No, no, no, no, no. I don't, I don't mean that. I meant like in business, um, uh, I didn't. I was straight up with all my customers. Really black and white with all the information. Mm-hmm. Uh, because I didn't want, I wanted them to have a good experience, you know? Mm-hmm. Uh, even, even early on when I was a framing contractor and I was dealing with general contractors and with architects and things like that, I, um, I wanted them to feel that, uh, a comfort level, that I was the right choice.”

 

[00:17:02] “Well, let's see here. The first thing you have to do is, uh, you know, the fam, the family's very important. But I think when you're in that situation, I think. I think you kind of have to say business first because without that, the family part would struggle. I think so. My, my advice would be to get up early and, and attack your business and, uh, get your days under control as early as possible so when the afternoon does come around, then you can easily step away and into, you know, parent mode and, and dad and, uh, you know, be part of that with, um, With everything that you have, you know, uh, so that you can enjoy it, and not, you know, not be a spectator from the distance, uh, you know, but, but get inside of it and be part of it.”
