On this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I interview my friend and colleague Jeff Brawley. This is another episode where we shift our focus away from the hands-on experience of being an electrical contractor and focus more on what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. Jeff has
been serial entrepreneur for decades, having started many businesses. Today, we’re focusing more on his real estate investments. He shares why real estate is one of the safest investments you can make, but it requires just as much work as any other business. Although the best time to invest is usually ten to twenty years ago, there is always opportunity to grow your real estate investments now. What’s more, there are specific opportunities now that the market is uncertain and interest rates are going up. On this episode, Jeff will share with you why you should look into real estate.

On the day I made this video, there were 44 days left in 2021. As you watch this, the end of the year will be even closer. Instead of waiting until January 1st to make a new year’s resolution, start working now to close the year strong. Review the last year, see what worked and what didn’t. See where you can tie up loose ends and where you can double down on what’s working. You should be reviewing your life often, not just once a year. If you want to have a good year in 2022, you need to start now.

Good Morning Everyone
This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about success. As you go through school and in your first few years of your career, you might think that success means having a nice car, or a big house, but as you mature, you realize that success means different things to different people, at different times of your life. For me, the freedom to spend time with my children. But getting to success is never easy; there are no shortcuts. Having a schedule, which has specific, achievable goals, will help develop the discipline to work hard every day. Ultimately, success is a feeling more than a finish line. Don’t define your success as making a certain amount of money or having a certain amount of business, but find joy in the journey. Your success will continue as long as you define success in your life in a way that is achievable.

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about how to get paid. As a contractor, you may not be used to the idea of having to bill your client and fight to get your money, because when you’re an hourly wage worker you never have to think about it. This episode details all the different ways you have to have your own books in order and the ways to bill your client and follow through with them in a professional manner. Unfortunately, not every bill will get paid, and you may have to take some legal action, or even take a loss and end your professional relationship with that client. This episode will teach you what you need to know to get the money that’s owed to you throughout your career.

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about Intrapreneurship. Intrapreneurship can be summed up as being an entrepreneur within a company. That is, taking ownership of your situation rather than do the minimum to get by, to look for opportunities to expand either your own responsibilities or the company itself, and being able to think independently. The term may sound new, but it actually dates back to 1978, and came into common usage in the 1980s. In this episode, I detail the kind of person you need to be to be an Intrapreneur. You need to be able to fix things in the company that you see can be improved, you have to give it your all, you have to be willing to bring and give value to others, and be of strong character. If you have the mindset of doing just enough to get by and then finding other things that make you happy, there’s nothing wrong with that, but if you want to take ownership and take a step closer to being an entrepreneur, being an intrapreneur will give you a chance to learn many soft skills it takes to be a successful entrepreneur before you run with your big idea and start your own business.
