The Builders Show — the morning show for builders, electricians, and contractors.
We took a week off (baby on the way!) and we’re back with a tactical episode for anyone in Year 0–3 of business or about to go out on their own.
What we cover today:
First-year contractor mistakes (and how to avoid them)
The Contractor GPS: how to set a destination (not just “get jobs”)
Pricing basics: stop guessing — start with targets, quarters, and weekly revenue
Lead flow: what actually works early (and what to avoid)
Saying no to bad customers without starving your pipeline
TN Licensing: LLE vs CE (scope, limits, prep that actually helps)
Leviton Next Gen Contractors Event (Nashville): what we’ll share on business planning, pricing & load centers
Why watch: Real, usable steps before you clock in — build a business you don’t end up hating.
