Whoever said that necessity is the mother of invention hit it on the head.
There is no doubt that when push came to shove, I was ready to do what I normally wouldn’t in order to save something I loved. To say I love my business is sort of a weird thing to say. Of course, I’m grounded enough to know and understand that my love for family and dear ones far outweighs any sort of business. However, I worked long and hard for 15 years inside the zone controlled HVAC of a corporate office just to have the chance at doing my own thing. When I came out of college, being my own boss was something I really wanted to do. But in my industry, that’s a tough thing to do without the expertise and financial backing it takes to go out on my own. But that reality never stopped me from keeping my focus during all those years inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office. I saved and saved while making contacts and building relationships. Once I was an expert in my field, I started to actively put together a business plan that would get me out on my own in my own air conditioning. When I did take the leap, I was prepared and the business took off. However, I couldn’t have foreseen a pandemic. So when that happened, I had to pack up my car and stay out on the road for my customers nearly six months. But the bright spot I found along the interstate was the best heating and cooling in those hotels. And that was no small thing to finish a day inside consistently great quality heating and air each evening.
