Manage episode 480797170 series 2930525
Meet Calvin Denny, the founder of Atlas Mountain Contractors, who took an unconventional path from mental health professional to successful contractor. Calvin's refreshingly candid account of his entrepreneurial journey reveals both the challenges and unexpected simplicities of launching a business in the trades.
"I wish I would have done it sooner," Calvin confesses when reflecting on his first year in business.
Calvin dispels the common myth that owning a business means more freedom and leisure time. "When you run your own business, it's not that you don't have a boss, it's that you have a million bosses," he explains.
Calvin's journey offers practical wisdom and encouragement. His final message? The trades offer tremendous opportunity, AI isn't replacing skilled craftspeople anytime soon. Reach out to Calvin directly at 828-284-1925 to discuss your contracting needs or to get advice on starting your own venture.
