I started young focused on learning learning learning with integrity and I seek to get better everyday, that is how I have become the best. If you stop working your right that is when you die. Keep working!
One of your best videos!! The passive income dream seems like the perfect life but man it takes a lot of discipline to fill those 50 hours with something productive. Working, building and creating is a very good to fill those hours. We were made by God to work. It’s a gift. I enjoy working 6 days a week and unplug on Sundays! Thanks for the wisdom!
I just went back to a small time operation and I do as much of the labor as I can on my own, with one person helping me. I have great subs for anything I can't handle, but I keep my personal touch on things. Makes a big difference being the only legit roofer by trade in my market. Everyone loves it so far.
I really like the video. Always tell my wife I'd never want to win the lottery. Its always nice to have something to chase. The chase is better than the catch. Keep building and growing and working.
Great, great advise. Only thing I would add is there is nothing wrong with wanting to retire early and get out of the field IF you have something else which can help others with your time, resources and skills/knowledge. Passive income is the ultimate goal, but not so u can do nothing. So you can do what the Lord has designed you to do without the restrictions on NEEDING to make an income. Just my humble thoughts.
Not a roofer (name change?) but EXCELLENT advice! Definitely needed to hear this perspective because nobody really has the fortitude to say this or understand what’s happening. Working out also has this benefit (work) that keeps me positive and mentally refreshed..motivated.
Our conference is always in December in Orlando! Don’t miss our biggest event of the year! We might to small class in Portland, but for now only conference planned. Roofconference.com
excellent video Dimitri, you did better on this one, one i will need to listen to again! one prominent psychiatrist said, ask yourself if it is good for your brain, i think i would agree (w/all you said)and learned a little & am a little better off - thank you roofing insights.
I have 0 incentive to start a business anymore. I can't stand the trades. Shitty pay, no benefits, dead end job, come home and can barely walk, boss who has a drug problem. Sick of it.
This is an interesting comment. At 35 years old you are abit old. Just abit. I am too.. Going to throw out some 'new-school' advice ok. You can't smoke and drink and eat unhealthy and be an all star in the trades. AND..Same goes for tons of "Bosses". Look for it! I have come to realize the warning signs. Burger King wrappers and cig butts. Also stay positive. Maybe join a paint crew. Great work, play music while indoors. Best luck 86!
@@crbradbury8282 I've saved up money for this moment. Either I'm going back to school or I might get into insurance. I can see the writing on the wall for the trades and being a employee is not worth it now or in the distant future and I'm not interested in running the show.
Great content in every which way! So many of us biz upstarters are half lazy. Sometimes not even noticing it! Your advice here..hits like a lightning bolt. So much thanks
What's your opinion on not disclosing to the customer you sub your work and telling the sub to make out to the homeowners like you are an employee for the company they actually hired not a sub
Never talk to subs or customers about your personal life. Keep it all bissnes with some compassion. I also do excavating part time in between running for my subs keeps me bissy good for me .

Great advice about not outsourcing things you are great at just bc you have the cash flow.
Come do something in Vancouver
Dmitry this is gold!!! Thank you for being a blessing!!!
Thanks for talking about serious topics to become quality people. That's more important than building a big company!
Cleveland Commercial Roofing, new to your page. Love the content!
Best thing I've ever heard you say it's not a healthy path to have working less be the goal

I Have been delegating from going from sub too Contractor and watching your videos has helped tremendously!! Thank you man
Good job 👏

And another gem freedom minus discipline is no good . Dude your finally saying shit I've always wish you'd say
I really like the video. Always tell my wife I'd never want to win the lottery. Its always nice to have something to chase. The chase is better than the catch. Keep building and growing and working.
Well said!

I’ve been in the funk too! It’s really hard being a contractor

Do you work for the company?
@@RoofingInsights3.0 every company I've worked for has been this way. I don't want anything to do with the industry anymore.

Excellent video. I totally agree. I’m working till my health says no. I survived stage 4 cancer 16 years ago. I’m still motivated to work.

All his point of view but I think 70 percent most successful people will agree.
Ironic
