[00:00:00] Welcome to the Successful Life Podcast. I am your host, Corey Berrier. And today, folks, you got me, Corey B. We're gonna be talking about what are some most important factors of a profitable plumbing business. And we're also gonna be talking about what are the most common misconceptions
[00:00:20] about contractors. But first I'm gonna tell you a quick story about a little experience that I had last night. So I went to the Royce, Gracie Jiujitsu school because I have decided to start Jiujitsu and they do have several other things. But here's the crazy thing, and these kind of things seem to happen to me quite a bit when I'm doing the right thing.
[00:00:48] So where I'm sitting on the, I'm on the mat with this guy and we're doing, we're doing our. Practicing, I guess you could say. And this guy walks in. Now, I don't know what Hoyce Gracie looks like. I don't know what any of the Gracie's look like. This is really new to me. I've heard their names. I know who they are, but I don't really, I don't have a clue what they look like.
[00:01:07] So this guy comes walking in and interrupts the class. I thought that was odd. And this guy looks at me and he was like that's hoist Gracie. And I went, eh, I know dude. I'm new. I know you're just messing with me. There's no way that's hoist Gracie. He was like, dude, that's hoist Gracie.
[00:01:26] I'm like, come on. He was like, seriously, he's teaching a class here Saturday. And I'm like, oh wow. I don't know if you know who that is or not. You probably do, but it's pretty cool. I got to take my picture with the guy. It was dope. It was really cool to meet that guy. The first freaking time I would go in and put on Agh and do all the things.
[00:01:47] And so I just thought I'd share that experience with you cuz I thought it was unique, it was cool and I just thought it was so freaking cool. And now I'm going back. I joined the school and it was really cool. It was really cool. I'll tell you a little bit about some of the things that.
[00:02:02] I even experienced last night is like that whole time that you're working with another individual, your mind is moving. Like you, you've gotta stay completely focused on what you're doing. And what's crazy is you're not thinking about anything else during that. Like the whole world stops. There is nothing in my life I'm thinking about when I'm, lined up with this guy.
[00:02:23] I don't even know how you, what you call it, but we were [00:02:26] practicing. You have to think about the moves he's making you have, think about the moves you're making. and I don't know. It was cool. It was super, super cool. And to meet that guy the first night, it was really cool. Alright, so here's where we're gonna start.
[00:02:39] All right. Here's some common misconceptions about contract. One of the most common misconceptions about contractors. , y'all offer the same service, same price. You do the same stuff as John down the street, and you do the same thing as Jim down the street, and you do the same thing as, Barry down the street.
[00:03:02] Y'all are all the same. You charge the same, y'all just fall. They look. People lump you in the same category, and it's just not the case. Contractors. You all specialize in different areas and it's, and I think it's important to point that out. You have a wide range of different services.
[00:03:20] You have a wide range of things that you offer, but they're special to you. And not every company offers the same exact stuff. And so you want people to. Look, it's 2000, almost 23, and people go online and they look you up. They look you up, they figure out your reviews. They see if you're a shitbag, and they decide if they wanna do business with you.
[00:03:42] So it's really important to keep a good reputation right in, not just online, but a good reputation period in your business. And you want people to find. you for what you
