Scott, I have only ever wanted to do one other thing for a “job;” I am a certified Chef and my goal was to build and open my own restaurant, but I found myself severely burned out of running restaurants while I was in high school studying culinary arts.

Hi my name is John Chute I live in Boston ma. I am a carpenter. I cannot express in words how truly grateful I am for your series and how much positive influence you guys have had in my life in so many different ways. Thank you very very much

Biggest skill I've learnt is being able to pick a timewaster customer, before you offer your services.

I'm glad to see Nate comming out of his shell he is a really intelligent guy, I'm trying to say Nate you bring alot to the table

Scott - really appreciated your comments. As an owner of a Plumbing & Heating Service Contracting business I realized a long time ago that my main job is running the business. I've had a couple of plumbers leave to start their own thing. One went broke - one seems to be managing. But he's doing it all including working on the tools. With soon to be 7 service vans I can't afford to be on the tools. The key to going out on your own and owning a business is that the most important job is running the business not just installing that furnace or roughing-in the water lines in a new build. One man businesses or professional service Companies are okay - but understand that you're paying with time for the extra money and extra freedom of working for yourself.

Listening to you two talk about money reminded me of Dave Ramsey saying, "Be intentional with your money."

I think that one of the really underrated issues or untalked about issues in achieving business, well, life success, is family drama. If there is constant turmoil at home all the challenges and hardships of work and business are magnified to the overwhelming point.

Man, there is so much information here that is just impossible to find elsewhere. Your experience and knowledge in this field is invaluable. Thanks so much for putting these together to share that knowledge!
