Over the past nine years, I have been laboring at a small Heating as well as A/C repair corporation.
- The owner of the contractor is an older girl that decided to retire 6 months ago.
When she retired, her child took over the contractor as well as changed a lot of things… My fellow employees as well as I were receiving benefits prefer medical, dental, as well as a 401k. The new owner decided to change our schedule so all of us no longer qualified for benefits. Since all of us were not stressed for full-time hours, the girl did not have to spend money us benefits prefer insurance as well as pension. I easily thought about quitting when I heard the news, however there are not certainly several heating as well as AC repair companies in the small town where I live. I decided to make it work so I did not go separate from a task. I found a way to make more currency on the weekends. I put an advertisement online on Facebook as well as Craigslist. I featured our services as a certified Heating as well as A/C repair lady. I gave our services at a much lower rate than the supplier was charging. I started making various or multiple hundred extra dollars every weekend. It’s been steady for a while now as well as I am starting to assume that I might have a future starting a contractor of our own. I could be the competitor that puts this girl out of business. I have good relationships with a couple of the commercial property owners that I worked on. I have not gave them an alternative, but I assume it might be time to go public with our side business.
