Hi guys absolutely love your channel just subscribed and turned on the notification bell. My name is Abdullah I am 20 years old and I currently live in Toronto Canada. I really love the construction industry and see how much potential there is, my longterm goal is to own my own business that can possibly function with out me. My plan is to first work for a successful home remodeling company to get a good understanding of the different trades, then go for my GC license. My next goal is to work as a project manager and part time in sales to learn as much as I can on the business end. I strongly believe that this will provide with a good understanding and the skills needed to start my own construction business. At the the end of the day I am still a 20 year old and this goal may sound delusional so I hope you may guide me and give me advice on what you think the most ideal and efficient path to take on becoming a construction business owner. I would also like to know if you see value in the formal schooling route (4 year bachelors in construction management) or simply working my way to my goal. I thank you once again for your help and wish your channel the best of success!!!!

Wow, Abdullah! Those are some pretty impressive goals. It looks like you have a pretty well-defined path for yourself. Experience would definitely be a great benefit to you in the field. Don't be afraid of schooling either. You've got to do whatever you can to not only gain knowledge of the industry, but how to run a business. You can be great at construction and terrible at owning and operating a business. Our goal is to help awesome contractors learn how to be awesome owners. If you find yourself needing to estimate projects and send out proposals, check us out! The podcast is just one thing that we do :) congenius.com/
