Business Aspirin:  Pain Relief for Business

Ep 036 - Hunger and Humility: Keys to Success


Listen Later

Chris joined The Blue Collar Success Group in early 2018 as a success coach, and has since offered extensive knowledge about every facet of the in-home services – pricing, planning, budgeting marketing, recruiting, training, and showing clients how they can transform their businesses into revenue generators. His journey through the industry began at age 16 as an apprentice electrician and, after just eight months, was promoted to lead technician. It was the tipping point for what would be his vast resume as a successful owner, supervisor and business coach


Listen to this informative Business Aspirin episode with Chris Crew about Blue Collar Success.


Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

● One of the key points emphasized by Chris is the importance of challenging the stereotype that contractors are unintelligent. He believes that choosing a trade is not a sign of being less intelligent, but rather a different path that requires specific skills and knowledge. Chris himself is a testament to this, having built and grown his own business without a formal high school education or college degree.

● One of the challenges faced by contractors is the transition from being skilled tradespeople to becoming successful business owners. Chris acknowledges that being good at the trade is not enough to run a successful business. It requires learning the intricacies of being a business owner, such as managing finances, marketing, and sales.

● Chris emphasizes the importance of hiring good people and highlights the qualities of hunger and humility as essential traits to look for in candidates. He advises against the common practice of trying to attract top talent by paying higher wages, as it can lead to cutting into profit margins. Instead, he suggests focusing on finding individuals who are hungry to learn and grow.

● Chris also encourages contractors to aim for bigger goals and not to worry about competitors. He believes that focusing on training, sales, marketing, and finance is key to building a successful business. Delegating tasks and freeing up time is another important aspect that allows businesses to thrive

● Reflecting on the past and being grateful for accomplishments is another valuable lesson shared by Chris. He encourages contractors to take the time to look back and appreciate how far they have come, as it can provide motivation and perspective for future growth.
