Can anyone recommend books and videos that cover the practical aspects of operating an electrical contracting business? Taxes, insurance, supply chain, banking, bidding, staffing, etc..
I really get a lot out of Mikes videos, as well as the books that include graphic examples to help you learn, but I really don’t see much out there covering the business side, no matter how crappy it is. I took a red vector online course for my CEU his year, and while the code stuff was pretty good, the workers comp section was a stinking slide show of text. Mostly taken out of the code.. maybe there’s not a lot of good material in a workers comp lesson, but dang, it wouldn’t be too difficult to spice it up a bit...
I live in Florida and download some information on the subject of contractors and sales tax. It’s twelve pages and I only read through it once, so maybe it will be more clear a second time. I’m sure that for a lawyer or an accountant it probably contains all the information a judge needs to convict you of a crime, but it’s not very good for keeping me out of trouble, much less helping me to understand how use it in a way that’s best for my business.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to your feedback. Thanks
