Best and Worse ideas running a company.

[PhantomJourneyman]

My best idea was to start my own electrical company, more time with family and an unending learning experience.

Worst idea was not having customer sign before my company doing the work. Even when I thought there was trust.

my best idea was to open a laundrymat/bar combo. That was when I didn't own a washing machine and dryer - and used to drink!!

I know, I know, you meant running an electrical company, but I couldn't resist.

Best Idea: hire a family member to work for you.
The Worst Idea: hire a family member to work for you.

There are no worst/best ideas. Some ideas work for some and do not for others.

Experience is your best partner. That will take time.

To stay with the same theme as Pierre, my best idea was providing 24-hour emergency service. My worst idea, the same.

Why is it that trees always seem to fall on service drops at 3:00 in the morning?

Best Idea: Learning to read most electricians never bother to read directions and I make money repairing , teaching, consulting..........

Worst Idea: Thinking I could trust a GC, took job without a signature
