i wire and electure, fair enough.
dnk, I don't blame anyone for me not being able to make money personnally. when i talk about the issue it's as an industry as a whole. Individually, we do what we need to in order to make money. It is a little more difficult when a licensed contractor thinks that $1250 is a fair price for a 200A service. But we deal with that as well.
Truthfully I don't preach anything. I do keep saying the same things, but you must admit that lately I've even backed off of that. When you first find a site like this or EK, you tend to want to spread your knowledge (in this case, information that has successfully been implemented by 1000's of contractors across the country) to help everyone do better. Then after a short period of time, you realize that you can put all the information in the world out there, but it doesn't mean everyone will understand it or follow it.
And as I've already said, I haven't posted hardly any of my own ideas. I've sipmly put forth systems, processes and procedures that are being used by thousands of contractors across the country with tremendous success.
My simple point here was that Rich R used you as an example based on the image that you have created for yourself. If that is not the correct image, than rethink what you have done to create it.
But I must ask this question, what is better - trying to pass information along to fellow contractors to build better business, better lives and better futures OR badmouthing contractors in a market that you don't even work in and undermining their ability to create a better business?
Think about it. And now, think about the image you have created of yourself.
