If two companies gave you two totally different answers… you’re not crazy. A lot of home issues (comfort problems, leaks, tripped outlets) can have multiple causes — and not everyone verifies the same way. I started Learning Trades The Hard Way (free Skool) to help homeowners learn the basics of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical so you can: - ask better questions - spot red flags - understand what you’re paying for Quick question to ask any contractor: “What test confirmed that diagnosis?” If you want in: https://www.skool.com/learning-trades-the-hard-way-6499/about?ref=f5221ef733e34ac4a9b4cd2d57d0fd33

Ever get two different opinions and two wildly different prices for the same problem? That’s usually not because someone’s lying — it’s because people troubleshoot differently. Learning Trades The Hard Way is a free Skool community where I teach a more consistent approach to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical — for techs, apprentices, and homeowners who want to understand what they’re paying for. Quick rule to protect your wallet: Before you approve a repair, ask: 1. “What test confirmed the diagnosis?” 2. “What else could cause the same symptom?” 3. “If we fix this and it’s not it, what’s next?” If you want to learn the process (and ask questions), here’s the invite: https://www.skool.com/learning-trades-the-hard-way-6499/about?ref=f5221ef733e34ac4a9b4cd2d57d0fd33

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

If you own a home (or work on them), you’ve probably seen this: Your heat/AC, plumbing, or electrical starts acting up — and suddenly everyone’s guessing… and your wallet becomes the science experiment. Learning Trades The Hard Way is my free Skool community built to replace guessing with understanding across the stuff that actually breaks in real life: HVAC (furnace/AC/heat pumps), plumbing, and electrical. Quick tip that saves time (techs + homeowners): Before you chase the “weird” symptom, check the basics first: - HVAC: airflow (filter, returns/supplies, blower, coil) - Plumbing: shutoffs + simple obstructions (trap/aerator) before assuming “bad pipe” - Electrical: verify power at the source (breaker/GFCI) before blaming the device Made for: - Techs & apprentices who want real-world troubleshooting - Solo contractors trying to cut callbacks - Homeowners who want to learn their house and ask better questions If that sounds like your lane, come on in: https://www.skool.com/learning-trades-the-hard-way-6499/about?ref=f5221ef733e34ac4a9b4cd2d57d0fd33
