I agree that a business plan is going to be different for everyone. I am currently working on a business plan just to get started in my own business, opting to start from scratch instead of using a cookie cutter plan so that I can know the plan intimately. I’m 45 with 25 years of construction experience in residential, commercial and some industrial, and my Dad was a framing contractor. I’ve been in it all my life. No college experience, but I am self educated in the industry. I have worked up through the ranks from being a carpenter, to superintendent and now the Quality Assurance Manager of a $250 M a year construction company where I wrote the company’s quality program. I have worked as a California state building inspector and also have my California contractors license. It might sound funny but the biggest hurdle is how do I find the work? I know, sounds dumb. What would you suggest?
process, people and execution. You really are a joy to listen to. You explain it so clearly. But , If it is so simple …. why are so many people complicating it and having difficulty with it? What are the main stumbling blocks?
