Lamar Chase, owner of Chase Electric, joins us in this podcast to reflect on lessons learned from missteps made as a licensed electrician turned business owner. As a young teen, thirteen years old, Lamar did electrical work with his uncle and it has been a trade he literally grew-up mastering. Lamar has been a licensed electrician for over 21 years and working for himself for the past six.
Lamar reflects on three basic truths he has learned as a business owner;
“not all money is good money,”
“not all people are good people,” and
“not everybody is your friend.”
Lamar learns about working with big-money builders (he names names) and house flippers that want to maximize profits by spending the LEAST amount of money while compromising safety and convenience. Lamar learned the hard way how to turn down a lot of money and not working with the wrong partners. He learned his worth and how to be affirmative.
His advice:
