Great thread to get to know everyone. I have only found this forum recently and find it informative and even fun sometimes. I am a one man shop located in North Carolina. I have been in the electrical business since 1980. I have worked as an apprentice, journeyman, estimator, foreman, and division manager. I decided late last year that I wanted to do this thing for myself and started out on my own in January. I have held my State Electrical Contractors License for a number ov years but have never really put it to use as either a qualified individual or a business owner. I am comfortable with the progress I am making in starting a new business. Patience is the key I think. I am primarily a residential guy but have worked in the commercial field as well. I am not and do not aspire to become an industrial electrician. I think that sticking with what you know and do it well is the best approach. Anyway, nice to chat with yall and best of luck to everyone.
