Nick shares the risks he took early on and what it really looks like to build something before the success ever shows up.We also talk about Nick’s decision to purchase a painting company using an SBA loan, what stepping into ownership has been like after an acquisition, and their German Shepherd breeding operation, Reinberg German Shepherd.Throughout the conversation, we discuss faith, rest, and the reality of how demanding the early stages of business can be — especially before you hire help and you’re carrying everything yourself. This episode offers an honest look at entrepreneurship, responsibility, and building strong foundations both at work and at home.Connect with Nick• Lone Star ThreadsInstagram: @lsthreadsFacebook: Lone Star Threads• Hutch-N-Son’s PaintingFacebook: Hutch-N-Son Painting• Reinberg German ShepherdInstagram: @reinberggermanshepherdsFacebook: Reinberg German ShepherdsContact the ShowFor questions, guest inquiries, or sponsorships:[email protected] Startup SystemIf you’re thinking about starting your own handyman business, check out my Handiwork Startup System — a simple step-by-step guide to launching a referral-based handyman company.https://handiwork.gumroad.com/l/HandiworkStartupSystem
