Hey guys I hope you all had a great Christmas and your New year is treating you well. Before Christmas I had planned on just taking a couple of weeks off. Welp, that ended up being a couple of months. I don't regret it though it helped me evaluate what was important. It also made me realize how much I enjoy working on this stuff. I am in the process of coming up with a schedule and there may be a shift of focus coming up. I'll let you know. I am quite excited.
One of the things that I am working on is a new course that I'll be teaching. As some of you know I teach electrical apprenticeship in Vancouver BC. I have been given the opportunity to teach a weekend course. Right now the working title is Apprentice to CEO: Entrepreneurial skills for the trades. If you live in the Vancouver area and have thought about starting your own business this is the course for you. It is through BCIT and is open to anyone. If you would like some more information send me an email: info@theelectricacademy.com
Here is a short description of the course:
Whether you’re an apprentice looking to the future, a journeyman who is looking to start their own business, or a trades person looking to become more valuable to their employer, Entrepreneurial skills for the trades will provide skills and insights to help build and maintain a successful trades business. This course will introduce and cover: (1)The importance of having a vision for your business; (2) how to research your field; (3) how to set up and maintain an operating system for your business; and (4) how to market your trades business. What sets this apart from most “start your own business” courses is it’s strong emphasis on how to set up an operating system for your trades business. Topics such as invoicing, job tracking, estimating, finances, and safety will be a large component of the course, always keeping the focus on a trades business. Other topics include how to set up a business (incorporation, proprietorship, partnership), business insurance, business taxes, working with partners and an introduction to financing sources.
Well that is all for this week. As always if there is anything I can help with send me an email or join the facebook group and send me a message. You can join the group here.
Until next time, stay classy academy!
