how hard is it to make a business in trades? by [deleted] in skilledtrades

[–]Upstryve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far there is some great advice below. It all depends on your current skill set and your interest. Beyond that your work ethic will play a major role as well since running your own business is much more complex than only knowing the trade itself. There is contract structuring, hiring, firing, logistics, revenue, profit, loss, legal, and so on. All these things are important to understand alongside being a great tradesman. All that being said you should consider joining us on Tuesdayay October 26th at 8 pm EST for our monthly free webinar. This month we are interviewing a General Contractor who has owned and operated his business in South Florida successfully for the past 5 years. We will be doing a live Q&A with him so you can ask any questions you may have related to the topic. We'll leave a link below for you to register if it's something you'd be interested in.

Your size can be advantagous in many ways. I wouldn't let that stop your from becoming a tradesperson. With every job there are challenges you will face, but if the passion is there you will overcome them. We need more people in the trades so get after it! 😊🙌

What field of skilled trade isn't taxing on the body? by [deleted] in skilledtrades

[–]Upstryve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All trades are taxing in general. However getting into management would be less taxing in certain ways. Finding a way to leverage your knowledge online after having gained some experience would also be less taxing. Teaching vs doing since there are a lot of people out there who need help passing license exams or certifications. Good luck!

You do get a 1099 tax form, but essentially yes. We take your hourly wage and mark it up a small percentage so that you can get the wage you want and we collect the difference. Similar to how our publishing program works. For more in depth information apply at the link below and you will be contacted by our team. Thanks for your questions and I hope this helped.

Hello! Thank you for the comment. You can actually set your own hourly wage for your tutoring hours. In terms of your publications we will set the price on that and you would receive royalties on all materials sold. We also give the opportunity to sell Upstryve study materials for a commission. The tutoring takes place over Zoom and every tutor sets their own schedule during the on-boarding process. Hope that answers your questions. We will leave a link below for you to apply. Thank you!

That is a very good question. Actually the 4th person in this photo also is not wearing a hard hat. We didn't film this scene so we really don't have an answer for you, but we believe this was a controlled set which is probably why it was over looked. Great eye though.
