You finished your trade apprenticeship. Someone showed you the tools, the work, what to do and what not to do. Then you filed an LLC and woke up the next morning with nobody teaching you anything. Dennis says there's a second apprenticeship most plumbing owners never hear about, and skipping it is costing them far more than they think.
In this episode, Dennis breaks down why knowing the trade and knowing how to run the business are two completely different skill sets. He shares a surfing story from Hawaii that mirrors what most owners are doing in business right now, explains why six years of dabbling at something taught him less than weeks with a coach, and gets into the real cost of going it alone. It's not just money. It's time, relationships, and marriages.
