As someone who is setting out on his own to create and grow an electrical contracting company, I often look to those who did it before me for ideas, experience, knowledge, and inspiration. I'm sure most of us in the trade at least consider the self employment road at some point.
I also know that those of us who have started our own companies, have done it from various levels of preparedness, from being handed an already running business, to starting out with little more than a six foot ladder in the back of a hatchback and a vision.
I thought it might not only be interesting, but provide a service to this community, to hear the stories from business owners here as to how they started, and what it was like.
So for those of you at the helm of your own businesses, if you wouldn't mind sharing your stories, I know I would certainly like to hear them, and I'm sure many others would as well.
Thanks.
