Most associations have an internal group that focuses on political advocacy. To learn a bit more about this side of the National Electrical Contractor Association, I asked Marco Giamberardino, NECA Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs, if he would spend a few minutes educating us on how he spends his days as an association lobbyist.I met Marco at the NECA convention, so you will hear some of the background sounds of a convention setting. We recorded this in September of 2023 so a few of the topics discussed have resolved in one way or other, but I still wanted to share his thought process and how he views government operations in relation to the construction industry.In addition to lobbying, Marco supervises numerous program areas, including advocacy, political fundraising, communications, marketing, and ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR magazine. Marco has been an active trade association professional and advocacy expert for over 30 years.Marco was recognized as a Top Lobbyist for 2022 by the National Institute for Lobbying & Ethics.

There are governing bodies that develop building codes to dictate how a house is built and what is installed to ensure the safety of homeowners. In addition, the National Electrical Code (US) and the Canadian Electrical Code focus on the safety of electrical installations. Always hire a licensed electrical contractor for any electrical work you're doing in the house. Why? Because they are the experts and can help make sure everything is done safely, to code, and know to pull the needed permits. Do you know where in your house you should have GFCIs? Do you need to replace your knob and tube wiring? An electrician will have the answers. In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Erik Drost, Loyalty Manager, Eaton USA as we talk about Electric Codes vs. building codes, the difference in codes between the US and Canada, and doing electrical work safely. We also talk about how to find a Licensed Electrical Contractor and what the ECCN is. Plus, we have a few shocks and laughs looking at the electrical fails that you've sent in. Tune in to find out all about it.

In this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor,  I take a break from talking about being a contractor and focus on “the life.” We tend to think of influencers as a specific type of job or title meaning you have a lot of followers on social media. The fact is, we are all influencers and we are all being influenced in some way. As a leader in your community, you are an influence on everyone around you. And as someone who is around other people and who consumes any kind of media, you are being influenced. In this episode, I want you to take a serious look at what is influencing you, and whether or not that influence helps you. Watch this episode to become a better leader by having a better understanding of what an influencer is.

On this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I take a break from talking about business and instead focus on another important aspect of having a happy and fulfilling life that most people don't talk about: being a better man. Being a better man often means resisting the urge to be the “bigger man.” We do this constantly without realizing it, which is why it's so important to become aware of your own patterns and triggers. Often, to be the better man, you have to learn to let go of your need to be the “bigger man.” This episode will show you why and how.

Michael McDonnell is an Electrical Contractor at Light It Up Electric. Originally from Aspen, Colorado, he moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the COVID-19 pandemic.  In this episode… As a landlord, understanding and upgrading your home's electrical system is imperative. Many older properties contain aluminum or copper wiring, which can cause safety hazards if outlets and circuits are overburdened. So what should you know about your property's electricity, and how can you maintain it appropriately? As a skilled electrical contractor, Michael McDonnell has witnessed his fair share of blown circuits and frayed wiring. He notes that a single circuit in an old home cannot withstand the influx of new appliances in various outlets, leading to frequently tripped breakers and expensive damage like burned panels. Replacing outdated panels ensures safety and mitigates unnecessary maintenance. Although licensed, electricians often lack adequate knowledge of electrical systems and perform surface-level repairs. Electrical contractors can rewire a house with updated wiring to comply with state codes and educate homeowners about the appropriate outlets to plug in their appliances, ultimately reducing costs.  Mat Zalk sits down with Michael McDonnell, Electrical Contractor at Light It Up Electric, in this episode of The Same Day Podcast to talk about the characteristics of electrical systems. Michael explains why property owners should upgrade their electrical panels, the ideal location for a GFCI receptacle, and when to transition from overhead to underground power. 

I had a blast being a guest on The Modern Electrician podcast with Josh and Doug. These guys are some of the coolest, chilliest, and most down-to-earth people in the trade. They run a small electrical contracting business, but they have a big reach and cover a wide range of topics related to the lifestyle of being an electrician. If you haven't heard of them, I highly recommend checking them out. Here are some of the things I enjoyed about the podcast: Josh and Doug are great conversationalists. They're easy to talk to and they have a genuine interest in their guests. The podcast covers a wide range of topics related to the electrical trade. This is great for electricians of all levels, from beginners to experienced professionals. The podcast is informative and entertaining. Josh and Doug do a great job of explaining complex topics in a way that's easy to understand. They also have a great sense of humor, which makes the podcast enjoyable to listen to. Overall, I highly recommend The Modern Electrician podcast. It's a great resource for electricians of all levels.

On this episode of the Life of an Electrical Contractor, I have a special guest: My good friend, Ron McKay. Ron has been a friend of mine for many years now, and I've watched him go from the deepest depths to the highest highs. In this interview, he'll share the story of how he became a successful entrepreneur, how he had to shut down his business practically overnight, and how he started his newest venture, Hammock Greens. Hammock Greens grows leafy greens in shipping containers, using an innovative technology that can grow the same amount of produce a 30 acres in the space the size of a mobile home. He is on the cutting edge of AgTech, and he is set to scale up and disrupt the entire agriculture industry. Watch this interview to learn what he's doing now, and how he got to where he is.

We were lucky enough to find some time to sit down with Jeff to records this episode.

On this episode of the Life of an Electrical Contractor, I talk more about mindset. As a business owner, you run more than just your business. You also lead your family and your community. You have to constantly evaluate where you are so you can evolve. It isn't comfortable to to something new, especially when things are going well, but if you want to stay ahead in business, you must constantly be expanding. The first place you need to expand is… well yourself. With that in mind, I recently made the trip to Florida for a business mastermind/boot camp with Valuetainment founder Patick Bet-David and The Next Level Experience founder Raul Villacis. The experience really gave me some new ideas to expand my business and improve my life, and on this episode, I'm going to share some of them with you. Watch the video for more.

On this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I take a break from the electrical contracting side and focus more on life. In this episode, I share what I do in my life to get the most out of it. Yes, I work hard, and I see the results from that hard work, but having financial success and not being able to enjoy it is trapping yourself in a cage. I don't try to find balance in my life, I look for integration. That means I go 100% (or at least as close to it) at the 4 areas of my life: Body, bonds, business, and being. I focus my attention on where I am and what I'm doing, and I don't let myself get distracted and be 50% at home and 50% at work. People who do that are spinning their wheels and getting nowhere. Instead, give work everything you've got, and then when you're with your family/at the gym/at church, you give it your all and leave your other areas of your life at the door. Easier said than done? Sure. But isn't investing in yourself the best investment? Put the work in, find the time to take care of yourself, and everything will grow from there.

In this episode I talk about how I broke my golden rule and why you should be charging fixed contract pricing and not time and material in 2023.

On this episode of Life on an Electrical Contractor, I share with you how to make a plan to succeed in 2023 by starting today. Average people make New Year's Resolutions. But do you want to be average? No! You want to go above and beyond. So why not start your New Year's Resolution a few months early? And instead of abandoning your resolution in 6-8 weeks, why not have a plan and stick to it? The fact is, 2023 is going to be a rough year. You can't control the market. But what you can do is prepare, and find opportunities where other people are looking for excuses. Create a plan of action today, so you'll be ahead of the game. Watch this video to learn how.

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is a lesson you can apply whether you are a contractor or in any business that deals with moving parts from place to place: How to keep from losing supplies. Anything that is ordered to go to a job site, particularly something that is specific to the job (e.g. NOT extension cords, fuses, socket plates) can get lost. All it takes is one busy moment where someone decides “I need to get this out of the way to deal with this other thing” can throw off an entire job.

On episode 18 of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I explore the importance of taking vacations. I am fortunate to have the kind of job that I love. But I work very hard at that job, and it's important to take time out away from your work to refresh yourself. Recently, I went on a two week vacation with my family to France. There are many lessons from this experience. As an entrepreneur, all that hard work you are doing is in service of buying freedom. If you ever lose sight of that, your job becomes your jail. Take advantage of the benefits of the hard work you've put into your business by taking time out every once in a while to be physically and mentally present to somewhere other than work. Many of the things that happened started out as bad experiences, then quickly turned into memorable moments that became the highlights of the trip. These moments are a good reminder of the importance of staying flexible rather than being attached to an outcome. The point is to have a good time, however that happens. Watch the full episode to learn more about the funny stories on my vacation, and what lessons I learned and you can learn from them.   Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Imjosemoreno https://www.instagram.com/iamjosemoreno/ https://www.gem-electricalcontracting.com/  

On this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, the subject is “Are your hands tied?” Whether you are an electrician or in any area of your life, you may have someone tie your hands or even unintentionally be tying your own hands. On this episode, I explain what it means to have your hands tied, because you may even have your hands tied and not realize it because you're so used to it! I also give 5 strategies on how to untie your hands both in the moment and long-term. Your habits every day will keep your hands free to do everything that you need to do to be successful, not just in business but in everyday life.

In today's show, we are putting Aaron Hagan in your passenger seat to discuss growing an electrical contractor business. Aaron is no stranger to the trade. He is a second generation electrician who grew up in a truck and made his way through the ranks to become owner. Learning in his dad's passenger seat from a young age, Aaron kept seeking out new and better ways to grow eventually putting them into the increase of his business. Starting off a two-man operation generating over $300,000 annually, Hagan saw his fair share of ups and downs. At one point, the entire company cycled in a year as they redesigned the definition of culture. Starting over a second time, Hagan grew the business to $25M with goals to his $70M in the next three years. Aaron joins the show today to not only talk about his journey personally, but some tips from the school of hard knocks that he picked up along the way.

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about success. As you go through school and in your first few years of your career, you might think that success means having a nice car, or a big house, but as you mature, you realize that success means different things to different people, at different times of your life. For me, the freedom to spend time with my children. But getting to success is never easy; there are no shortcuts. Having a schedule, which has specific, achievable goals, will help develop the discipline to work hard every day. Ultimately, success is a feeling more than a finish line. Don't define your success as making a certain amount of money or having a certain amount of business, but find joy in the journey. Your success will continue as long as you define success in your life in a way that is achievable.   Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Imjosemoreno https://www.instagram.com/iamjosemoreno/ https://www.gem-electricalcontracting.com/

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about how to get paid. As a contractor, you may not be used to the idea of having to bill your client and fight to get your money, because when you're an hourly wage worker you never have to think about it. This episode details all the different ways you have to have your own books in order and the ways to bill your client and follow through with them in a professional manner. Unfortunately, not every bill will get paid, and you may have to take some legal action, or even take a loss and end your professional relationship with that client. This episode will teach you what you need to know to get the money that's owed to you throughout your career.   Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Imjosemoreno https://www.instagram.com/iamjosemoreno/ https://www.gem-electricalcontracting.com/

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about Intrapreneurship. Intrapreneurship can be summed up as being an entrepreneur within a company. That is, taking ownership of your situation rather than do the minimum to get by, to look for opportunities to expand either your own responsibilities or the company itself, and being able to think independently. The term may sound new, but it actually dates back to 1978, and came into common usage in the 1980s. In this episode, I detail the kind of person you need to be to be an Intrapreneur. You need to be able to fix things in the company that you see can be improved, you have to give it your all, you have to be willing to bring and give value to others, and be of strong character. If you have the mindset of doing just enough to get by and then finding other things that make you happy, there's nothing wrong with that, but if you want to take ownership and take a step closer to being an entrepreneur, being an intrapreneur will give you a chance to learn many soft skills it takes to be a successful entrepreneur before you run with your big idea and start your own business.   Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Imjosemoreno https://www.instagram.com/iamjosemoreno/ https://www.gem-electricalcontracting.com/  

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is all about ladders and scissor lifts. If you want to get to a high place, these are the tools you'll use to do it. And that's what they are: tools. Any tool can be used safely or unsafely, and if you use any tool in an unsafe way, accidents are more likely to occur. In this episode, I explain when you would want to use either a ladder or scissor lift, and how to do it safely. More importantly, I warn against common mistakes and unsafe ways of doing things with these tools. The safety features of scissor lifts are designed to mitigate damage, but they can't protect you completely. Sure, falling 10 feet and being caught by a harness is better than dropping 50 feet, but you still might hit something that's around you. If you are aware of the risks of using these tools, and take those precautions, your chances of an accident are much lower.

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is more on mindset and life tips than about specifically working as an electrical contractor. Life is going to punch you in the face. That is as certain as death and taxes. The question is what you do about it. Although you might think the best thing to do is to get right back up and go into the fight, often the right move is to slow down and reflect as to why you got knocked down. Those steps in between getting knocked down and getting back up will have a huge impact on whether you have better results the next time or you keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Electricity is a crucial aspect of any home, without it, our homes simply wouldn't function. However, we don't often pay too much attention to it, thinking that if everything is working then our home's electrical system must be in good shape and operating properly. That is not the case! Just like anything in our home we must take the right steps to make sure our electrical is done right and meets our needs, especially if buying a new property or renovating. In this podcast episode, Mike Holmes speaks with special guest and long-time friend Frank Cozzolino, Licensed Electrical Contractor as they discuss the basics of electrical safety, who you should hire for your electrical work, and what you need to know to protect yourself and your family from a possible fire hazard. They also talk about what to watch out for when buying a house, especially an old property, and why an electrical inspection is important —you'll leave this episode with the proper knowledge to own it right and protect it right. Listen to the full episode to learn more about the importance of electrical safety, hiring the right people, and making sure the job is done right.

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is about questions. Some of us make a very big mistake by thinking that asking questions is bad. No! Asking questions is the way to get things right. If you simply assume the customer/contractor knows what you want, you are sure to miss important information, and the job will not be done to the customer's satisfaction. The art of asking questions goes beyond being between a customer and a contractor, but also includes relating to your family and answering questions from your team members. You have to have an environment that fosters asking and answering questions, which you create by asking questions yourself, and being genuine in the questions and answers. The goal is to have the other person not just have a question answered, but to understand and learn, so that in turn, that person can teach others.

In this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I address the three most common mistakes that entrepreneurs make, whether they are electrical contractors or any other business owners. If you don't address these mistakes, you will lose out on more money than you can ever count, burn yourself out, and lose the love you once had for the business you worked so hard to build. The first is, invoice correctly. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of fitting in the time to crunch the numbers when they have a slow day, but this pattern sets you up to be chasing money that is owed to you, and giving your labor away for free. Second, know your numbers. Entrepreneurs often overlook hours and expenses, and don't realize that they are losing money. Third, pay yourself. As a business owner, you want to reinvest into the business, but if you don't set a specific, measurable rate for your labor, you will undervalue your own time, and never be able to make a profit. To hear more details, and learn how these lessons can come home with you after work, watch the episode.   0:30 The top 3 mistakes beginner entrepreneurs make 1:20 1 - Bill/invoice correctly 2:20 Why I didn't invoice correctly early on 3:45 Maybe you're going through this and don't even realize it  4:38 Are you screwing yourself with your billing cycle?  5:50 Create the system to fix the problem 7:20 The people you invoice aren't your friends  8:01 2 - Know your numbers 9:57 Breaking even means you lost money 11:55 How do you calculate your hourly labor rate? 13:02 Don't wait until you lose money to realize it 14:58 It's painful but rewarding when you see how much you're making 15:42 3- Pay yourself 16:35 When you pay yourself, you know what to charge per hour 17:54 You drive the business, you have to fuel yourself 20:30 Why be in business if you're not going to pay yourself 22:25 Everyone makes these mistakes, not everyone discovers them 23:00 Review 24:15 Why you need to know these three things, no matter what level you are in business 26:33 Wrap up, don't forget to like and subscribe

It really comes down to three things: We care, we show up, and we get it done. In other words, from the first step to the last, we work with you to find what you need, then procure the necessary equipment, and then finish the job to your satisfaction. A lot of contractors just do the minimum. We don't just show up on business hours, we show up when you need us. When you need us most, we answer the phone. We don't just do the job, we take care of the customer. Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Imjosemoreno https://www.instagram.com/iamjosemoreno/ https://www.gem-electricalcontracting.com/

This episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor is an interview I did with Alan Schutz. Schutz is an electrical contractor who specializes in LED lighting. In this interview, we discussed what customers expect from LED lighting, which can be a big investment, and sometimes takes getting used to, because LED is so much brighter than what they've been using for years. LED lighting has such a long life that some contractors actually don't tell their customers that they do it, because the contractor gets a predictable payday two or three times every year to change the bulbs, which they would have to give up if they install lights that can last for 15 years. But, a good contractor like me, or Alan, knows that by saving the customer money, you can develop a relationship with them that will far outweigh the quick payday, and lead to greater opportunities and references in the future. The interview ends with some predictions on what the future of lighting will look like. I can predict one thing: The future looks bright for LED lighting.

These are all steps along the path. In 1968, Allan Woodruff left graduate school, moved to California, and started a career in technology. Within four months he bought his first duplex and was off and running as a part-time investor. His goal was simple: acquire enough properties that would pay themselves off over the next 30 years, so that they would then generate enough cash flow to allow him to break free. With this mission in mind, he was able to enjoy his high-tech career, and casually invest in real estate with a buy-hold strategy. He still enjoys the sport of the game. It's not all about the money... it's an art form, it's providing housing, it's improving the community. And it's fun. As a believer in building body, mind, and spirit, he's conscious of putting being into his doing.

On this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I teach you how to make money on your lights. Yes, you really can make money on your lights. As Benjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” As good advice as that is for a person, in a business, every penny can be put right back in the business to make you more money. Wouldn't you love to have up to 75% of your light budget (plus the savings on not changing bulbs) in your pocket? To understand how LEDs are so efficient, I begin this episode with a primer on different types of bulbs that are used in commercial applications. As you will find, you may be wasting money that you thought you were saving when you have dead light bulbs. As you will see in this episode, it's easier and cheaper to switch to LEDs than you might have thought, and you'll be on your way to making more money in your business in less time.

In this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, I explain the importance of building a relationship with your electrical contractor. When you hire a contractor, you are entering not just a contract but a partnership; you get what you want, but you have to be clear on what you want, and in turn the contractor has to be clear about what he can and cannot provide in terms of service, price, and time.  As a customer, it's important to be honest about what you want and what you expect from a contractor. At times, you may find a lower cost, but at the same time, that lower cost may bite you in the rear if you accept inferior quality work. It's important to understand why things cost as much or as little as they do, and so if you have a good relationship with your contractor, you can feel comfortable asking those questions.

On this episode of Life of an Electrical Contractor, we go over some of the most frequently used words and terms you will use when negotiating, hiring, and letting a contractor to work for you. These terms include: licensed insured, bonded, experience, permit, honesty, safety, and value. When you talk to a contractor, you must know that a contractor understands these terms and follows your directions safely and legally. When hiring a contractor, you should also understand the difference between price and value. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. Although we are sometimes the least expensive, often we are not. But to get the honesty and peace of mind that comes from knowing you hired the best person is always worth the price.   Follow me: https://www.facebook.com/Imjosemoreno https://www.instagram.com/iamjosemoreno/ https://www.gem-electricalcontracting.com/
