@Ryan Brundage @Eura Harper welcome guys ! I figured instead of sending a DM that rarely any people reply anyway .I'll do a quick introduction here, feel free to tell us anything you want about yourself( you can use a Welcome post or make your own, there's no right or wrong here and if you click around, you won't brake anything, so get as comfy as you want )if you don't want to say anything that's fine too, I remember when I was shy 😉😁

Did you already start entrepreneurial journey or still up in the air? Are you doing epoxy full time or trying it out and want to see where it goes. Or maybe you are full timer and that is your livelihood. If it is, what is your why ? What was the reason you started and how did it happen? Just curious to hear your story. I thought before that starting a business will give me more free time and I will start making more money. Both of these are completely opposite 🤷🏻‍♂️ I used to make more and every weekend I was free, all I had to do was just show up, no worries about payrolls or where to find next job. Being completely honest, now having the off season and completely not prepared for not having enough work through the winter months ,if I go and work on drilling rigs again, I can clear 5k CAD every 2 weeks , being at the bottom of the totam poll and not giving a single f$%k on what's going on, just trip pipe all day🤦🏻‍♂️ it sounds tempting a lot!

Hey guys, a small build on the side line https://youtu.be/C9AIp4j8hwM

Hey everybody! First of all I'd like to welcome all new members! I didn't get into a habit making separate posts for people joining as it might be a little overwhelming seeing these on the main feed all the time, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you checking in 😉​ Thanks in advance for all your input or if you just here to check things out that's fine too. I wanted to touch on a sensitive subject for most trades people I would say, so even if you're not an epoxy installer, it might be relatable regardless. The reason is me just recently seeing a lot of conversations about it in other groups and I want to see what your thoughts are . 📢​How much to charge for your work and how to deal with underbidding competitors ⁉️ I see all the time and experienced it a lot when bidding for a job, there's always that one guy who will do it for less. How do you react to this ? I get it, all of us are in a different situation and especially when we start out we want to grasp on every bit of work that will pay the bills. But have you had that job yet, when at the end of it all you say to yourself this just wasn't worth it ? ​🥸​ We can blow up this conversation, since there's so many different angles we can look at this. My take is that lack of systems usually let our minds wonder a lot and we start overthinking if we should have charged more or bid less to get a job. Almost all of it is a mind game that our brain is playing with us. If anyone has ever tried trading, this reminds me of that a lot. When you look at the graphs and trying to predict whether the price is going up or down , without a system in place it's just gambling, but those few that are successful at it have systems in place that eliminate that human factor out of it and when in doubt, you don't have to guess, you just follow the guidelines you previously set up for yourself and then just deal with the result afterwards. Good outcome - positive checkmark, bad outcome - put it in the investigation box and see why the outcome wasn't to your liking. It might sound esoteric, but what do you think?
