Tom Cunningham (too tall) and Peter Goral, VP Business Development at TechBlocks interview Start by Starting Founder Tim Krause.

Tim’s story, like that of so many entrepreneurs, is all about starting over.

After graduating from business school Tim joined the family construction company. Determined to preempt any notions of favouritism, and to earn the trust of the employees, Tim decided to start at the bottom and work in the field as an apprentice to earn his electrician’s license. After several years he moved into the office to learn new roles as an estimator and project manager. From there he took over as General Manager before finally buying the business. 

Tim eventually sold the family business to one of his employees, freeing him to participate in construction leadership for Canada’s largest and most sophisticated forensic sciences laboratory.

After participating in over $2 billion of construction projects, Tim walked away from the industry to open the Startbystarting Consulting Group, a consultancy dedicated to working with entrepreneurs and small business leaders. Tim believes that small businesses are the hope of the local economy, and has a mission to help entrepreneurs strike the right balance between life and the "Art of Business”. 

Tim is working on a mobile app, due out in summer 2015, to help small businesses manage projects efficiently and transparently. And his first book, A Fish Rots from the Head Down, a book on leadership and culture management, is scheduled for release at the end of 2015.
