Running Your Business

Wearing plenty of hats is the job. Wearing all of them is the problem.

Running a small HVAC business means wearing plenty of hats. The problem is that the owner usually ends up wearing all of them.

We help you work out where your time is best spent, what should be handled by the team, what can be automated, and what should simply be handed to someone who knows what they are doing. That covers the practical stuff too: choosing job management software, getting invoices out, bookkeeping, debt collection, scheduling, purchasing and paperwork.

You might be perfectly capable of doing your own bookkeeping or spending Saturday night updating spreadsheets. That does not mean you should. Paying someone $50 an hour is often a much better decision than spending three hours doing it yourself when your time could be spent quoting a $10,000 job.

What you get advice on

  • Knowing what to outsource
  • Invoicing and debt collection
  • Delegating properly
  • Simple systems

If everything in your business has to go through you, you have built yourself a job, not a business.
