What no one tells you about starting Plumbing business
Thinking about starting a plumbing business? Before you buy a truck, print business cards, or quit your job, watch this.
Most plumbers start a company because they're great at plumbing and tired of working for someone else. But what nobody talks about is how quickly that dream can turn into 80-hour work weeks, constant stress, and less money than you made as a lead technician.
In this video, Master Plumber Roger Wakefield breaks down the real blueprint for building a plumbing company that scales past $1 million—not just another self-employed job with more risk.
You'll learn:
✅ Why most plumbing companies fail within the first five years
✅ The biggest mistake plumbers make when starting a business
✅ How to calculate your true cost per billable hour
✅ The 3 systems you must build before taking your first service call
✅ The correct hiring order for growth and profitability
✅ The 4 key numbers every plumbing business owner should track weekly
✅ How to build a company that creates equity and can eventually be sold
Whether you're planning to start your own plumbing company or you're already running a shop and feeling stuck, this video will help you think like a CEO instead of a technician.
