Hard Work Pays Off | The Trade Talks

Описание: Join us on this episode of *The Trade Talks* as we sit down with Chris Lamm, the owner of NTX Electric in Wylie, Texas. Chris shares his journey from starting in commercial construction to becoming a job site superintendent, and ultimately owning his own company.

Chris emphasizes that it doesn’t take much more effort to excel in the skilled trades. He’s a firm believer in the principle of “8 hours work for 8 hours pay,” but he also highlights that a little extra effort can significantly boost your growth as a tradesman.

Hard Work Pays Off
Chris talks about the importance of staying updated with new tools and technologies in the skilled trades. He believes that those who continuously learn and adapt are the ones who advance and get the raises on job sites.

Despite facing a challenging $80,000 lawsuit over outstanding payments from a major $200,000 job, Chris remains optimistic. He has spent over $12,000 in legal fees but is determined to overcome this hurdle and continue growing his business.

Opportunities in the Trades
With one million unfilled trades jobs in the USA and $1.7 trillion in student loan debt, Chris highlights the immense opportunities in the skilled trades. You can earn nearly $60,000 right after high school by pursuing a career in this field.

NTX Electric offers a range of services, including new construction, residential, commercial, and remodels. They also specialize in landscape and tree lighting, serving the Collin County area in Dallas-Fort Worth.
