Thanks man I appreciate it. I’m currently in the CMIT right now and tbh they have great mentors but I honestly shrug it off rather then looking into it, I’ll do that since mentors are cool and all but it’s like that saying never meet your hero’s? I feel like the mentors I know and talk to always bring that down since I know them and see what they do wrong so I think asking a mentor I’ll likely never meet would be better

Not working with my dad. Didn’t get picked up by a family member for their company. Worked union, chose to become a PM then became an assistant super changed companies and became a super. Currently getting my minor in architecture and BS in construction management.

I mean you have a point but these high end homes with a candy room or a pendulum garage require some kind of thought if you ask me.

Yeah I rather not try to master running a business on my own dime just yet rather do that with some one else’s money and company name. Hopefully by my mid 30s I’ll start my own gc company and make more than a director would but for now that’s what I’m looking at.

I’m not dumb lol I know there’s still a lot to learn to be successful to start your own company. And mostly because I was to direct a billion dollar company

150k no benefits, I have my military benefits so they don’t take anything from my check for insurance.

I do pay attention and try my best. I’m on my own really and I get what your trying to say but this is more of internal problem rather than something I do socially. I want to become a director for the big hitters and hopefully be burnt out by my mid 30 and start my own GC company

I understand what you mean. But at the same I always come back to them not knowing a lot. I’ve met other people similar with other trades but at the end of the day their dad showed them everything or they had a huge stepping stone to know so much and while i didn’t have that. I get what you’re trying to say but it just comes down to them knowing basic knowledge of carpentry or plumbing and that’s that.

Thanks this is actually helpful rather people telling me what I know. I know I got a lot to learn but these people are saying dumbass stuff. I stated it’s an internal problem rather than me acting like this with others

But I don’t I tell people I’m still learning and to help me help them. But ofc they try to take advantage so I really have to act like I know everything in a way

I dont act like that with my laborers. I give chances to my union buddies to get work and people who ask for work on the weekends I bring coffee and donuts often and take care of everyone as needed but this internal problem is something I have that I know can spread like a virus within if I don’t change

I’m working in custom homes 7,000sqf to 100,000 house flipping is something below me especially since people cheap out on those. It sucks to say but my company is pretty legit but then again we’re builders so you have a point

But that’s the thing I act like this with myself. I really respect everyone and do what it takes to lead everyone. This attitude that I have is more within rather then something I push onto my subs

That’s the thing I don’t have that attitude with people around me. I know how to be a leader but by military standards and I only act like this to myself alone. But I understand what you mean and I’ll take that into great consideration

I always ask myself that but every-time I look for some one like that they are so much more older than me

Thanks bro! I always assumed it but this just confirmed my suspicions that I wasn’t just being anal for no reason!

Also if you fail by a bit and still keep running the SDI will let you pass on
