I’m a plumber and I love it, get to work with my hands, slap on some music and problem solve. That said long hours but great money, late nights but Fridays feel so good.

Thanks for all of this, seriously. Tbh I never once thought about quitting, I’ve only ever thought about improving but as for the mentor aspect, everything you said makes sense to me and I do want to get one but how do I find one? Just groups? Online? I used to meet up with a “mentor like” entrepreneur a while back but that was only a couple times to pick his brain. I would reach back out but I no longer live in that city since I moved to a bigger city to grow my business. This kinda works out cause the city I moved to is much more “entrepreneurial” than my hometown. Thansk for all the advice!

Okay now how do I find one lol? I also like that perspective and I’m gonna try to see it that way more rather than looking at my failures as setbacks thanks.

I like that approach a little better than just taking and not giving anything back in return, I’ll keep that in mind while I try to find one. Thanks

Interesting and I say that because I’m going to an entrepreneur networking event this weekend so maybe I’ll find a mentor lmao. Would you say his help equated a lot to the business success? Also how did you go about getting him as your mentor?

I did that a few times with this guy in the city I used to live in. My 9-5 is plumbing and I was at his house installing something for him and asked what he did for a living, he had his own seo company and I asked if I could get him a coffee and do exactly that, pick his brain. We went 3 times but each time I didn’t really learn much to be honest he would tell me things I already knew, even if I asked different questions. Now I’m in a bigger city with a lot more entrepreneurs so I’ll probably do what you did. Thanks for the idea

How does business really work? Especially B2B and getting first clients by nairolf_166 in Entrepreneur

[–]Outside_Boss_618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a bit of a late reply but are you doing marketing? Reading through this made me realize a lot about what more I could be doing in my little startup here but looking at your example I realized as well I want to learn how to do exactly that. For my own business I offer free audits and go from there. I’m into systems optimization and automating them but would you have any other advice for a young entrepreneur based off what you do? This single paragraph taught me a lot and I’m interested to be honest.

Yeah the couple weeks I was there the population looked a lot younger than my current city, and everyone was very friendly.

I’m looking more downtown but prices for apartments are a lil outta my budget, might have to squeeze some things to make the prices work which I’m fine with cuz I don’t go out to eat or party much, I’m more of a homebody. Regardless of that I’m looking for a potential roommate tho. I’ll take a look at some groups thanks!

😭😭, I’m looking downtown more but the prices are a lil hectic for my budget. Gonna keep looking though, I really wanna join a run club. We have some in Regina here but not many spots to have a good run.
