I hope some of you live near me the next time I need some work done.
Question:How many of you really know your true real break even number plus profit? What your price should reflect is the true cost of running your business.
We should all put as much effort into knowing how to successfully run a business as we do about how to do electrical work, the NEC and new products.
We are always so proud of our electrical knowledge and workmanship but then feel ashamed to ask for a top buck to do it. Why?
We cant run a top notch company, do top notch work, give top notch pay and benefits while charging low low prices.
This type of thinking has hurt our industry and our ability to recruiting the best teenagers from high school from wanting to become electricans. What kid wants to grow up, bust his butt and recieve 35k plus crappy benefits doing electrical work the rest of his life.
We should all want to live and pay ourself and our employees as well as those we serve?
