I took the leap today. So I played the cards for my wife to be the main owner and me be a partner. I did it to be a Minority contractor. It opens doors with local schools and stores that like Women owned company’s. We signed the L.L.C paperwork with our lawyer and have an appointment next week with our accountant. Thanks for all the great info from your experiences.
Great analysis. Good information also . Just got mine opened . JLA MECHANICAL SERVICES LLC is open for business. Landed my first installation. Cooling tower installation. And a mechanical room after that . Thanks for the motivation brother.
Spot on bro, it's definitely a journey you have to be all in on the process. The outcome is dependent on the ability to never quit, serve others and do right no matter the cost.
Brother ima tell u I look forward to ur money Monday’s. Today is the 13th and it’s my 3rd Monday running my one business. My wife is pregnant and due in January. I run my ass off tryna keep work. And so far I’ve done well. Keep the money Monday vids coming and thanks for the tips
I love your advice. I have been contemplating a welding side gig for a while and watching yours and others video on the subject. Thank you for the great content.
I have been working most of my life, I am 48 started my first business when I was 12. My motto is quality over quantity. I have had my electrical business by myself without a partner since 2013 and I only have an advertisement in the local paper to support the small paper. I might get 1 job from it a month if that. Other than that I have never advertised. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.
Well said brother and you did what ever it take to make that customer happy and let the work do the talking bad ass motivation thank you brother be safe out there
This brought a lot to my attention that i hadnt thought about..... i just bought way too nice a truck last week to rig up and i dont think im ready lol. Thanks for the video brother!
Hello man I'm a big fan of your work, i have little of experience but I've been teaching myself. How do I get started as a welder helper if I know little to no welders? I'm in 361 area and am really struggling to find someone to let me be their helper.
Gotta get sent out on a dispatch from a UA local that runs rig welders. Or be a rat and leave the union and work non-union. Most pipelines jurisdictions is under 798 out of Tulsa. Talk to your business agent about rig work in your area. These questions are what your dues are paid for.
Thanks bud I’m unindentured at the moment I’m on with a contractor they have been a mechanical contractor since 1922. I think that’s. Pretty good start.
most people dont realize that running your own business is work 24/7 they dont realize how easy they have it when they just have to punch in and out and not worry about all the stuff to keep the lights on and etc. they just gotta do their job and collect a paycheck and go home :)
Billionaire Richard Branson is quoted as saying: “The quickest way to become a millionaire in the airline business is to start out as a billionaire." Being in business, and starting a business, is tough. But it's rewarding. There are plenty of ups and downs, and the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. You work hard, you sacrifice, you suffer. But it's worth it. Thank you for staying positive and spreading the good word, brother. Be blessed!
Maybe the quote is: "If you want to be a Millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline". Either way, the message is the same. It's not easy. But it's worth it. And we need more people in this country willing to put in the work
Let me expand a little bit on partnership I trusted a Christian brother so I am extremely good with the work part not so much good with paperwork and all that stuff bottom line he's got me for 500 Grand make sure all your paperwork is in order go to a lawyer have a business contract drawn up signed and notarized in the presence of your lawyer do you understand

Well Jay, Peter would have never walked on the water if he would have never gotten out the boat so my prayers go with you

Awesome video Jake! Could you make a video going more in depth into subcontract rig welding work through your business? Thanks!!
I love your advice. I have been contemplating a welding side gig for a while and watching yours and others video on the subject. Thank you for the great content.
Did you start doing a side gig?

How do you find a welders helper job if you don’t really have contacts

Why not put an ad out on Craigslist as a helper and list all your skills ?
Did you start your business while you were a helper?
Do you have to have a LLC to weld on the pipelines?
👍👍
What if I work in the pipefitters union and want to start my own welding business to go weld on pipeline in west Texas?

But I’m not sure. I keep wondering lol. It’s a small company to to be honest
