re: Business start up ideas

This is spot on. Execution and scaling are very hard in skilled trades these days. I own a construction related business and we’ve grown tremendously since we started 6 yrs ago. We had several links to large labor pools which has been one of our keys to success. We’re adding a couple of welding crews for our service division because there is an extreme lack of companies with that type of skilled labor. I have a company lined up that is going to put them to work as soon as we have them outfitted. Skilled trades continue to grow in demand as the older generation moves on and the younger generations are too good to work with their hands. If you can sell, execute, lead, recruit and scale you’ll be very successful. Not sure your geographic region but the demand will be specific to your area with respect to what type of services are needed.
