Send us Fan Mail I'm the founder and, owner, and the president is of streamlined services. We are out of Raleigh. I'm a fourth-generation plumber. I grew up around the business. I always say that you. My dad was enslaved then. He did not want anything to do with it. He did not want us to be a part of the trade. I fell in love with it. I was pretty good in the field. He wanted to own my own business. Always had that entrepreneurial spirit. And this has allowed me to do that. And I love it. I love what I do every single day. Corey Berrier01:42 You bring up an exciting point. I think that and I'm sure you'll agree with this when I was growing up, My parents didn't say, Hey, here's an option to go into the trades. It was, you're going to college. And here's what I think, and this is just my this is just what I've learned, that there are so many people that are not coming into the trades at this PO point. And I think a lot of that has to do with that program programming if you will. But. When you were coming up, as you just mentioned, your dad was in the trades and suggested you not get into it. I can't imagine. Just like people that are not in the trades, like my family was not, they weren't in the trades, so naturally, they said, You've gotta go to college. That wasn't the route for me. I tried that route, did not work for me. What do you think are the benefits of someone, say, graduating high school right now? Maybe they don't. Exactly what they wanna do. Haven't been that great in school. They have, they thought they were gonna go to college but didn't really, but they, it's undecided. What are the benefits, in your opinion, of people you know of folks looking at coming into the trades as opposed to going to Bob Sweet02:49 college? There are just so many young people out there and so many people that they could go to school and college. They have opportunities They could get in no problem at all, but that's not the path they want to go. And they don't realize as they don't realize how much the trades can give them the life that they want. Give 'em the opportunities to essentially do whatever they want. Earn great money,  and take care of the families. And they progress through a company like streamlined. The options are there, whether you wanna move up into management or you want even to cross trade, or learn another trade. There are so many opportunities for you in this trade. So many things, that you can do and that you can learn. Corey Berrier03:29 Look, at the end of the day, If you go into a trade school, most likely you not even gonna have to pay for that because somebody's gonna pay for it for you. That means you're not gonna have to take out a student loan, and you're not gonna have $150,000 in debt in four years with payment for God knows how long. So if you go into the trades and go into a trade school and apprenticeship, you make money that whole time, and you don't take out loans. And whenever you're done, you're still driving. Bob Sweet03:59 Yeah, it's that compounding effect, right? So you don't have debt. You're already, you're starting to earn, you're learning something. You're a skill that you can use for the rest of your life. Now you decided to change it up and go and do something different. You'll always have that skill. You can't, nobody can take that away from you. That's the best thing about it, on firsthand experience. So I've I have six boys I have three of my own, and my wife has three. We're like the Brady Bunch, just all boys. I call him, it's the Bobby Bunch. And our oldest just graduated NC State with two degrees; proud of him. He's gone that path. We have one of our sons who's in the trade he's a plumber. They're both doing whahttps:newpathemployment.com  https://www.audible.com/pd/9-Simple-Steps-to-Sell-More-ht-Audiobook/B0D4SJYD4Q?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflowhttps://www.amazon.com/Simple-Steps-Sell-More-Stereotypes-ebook/dp/B0BRNSFYG6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OSB7HX6FQMHS&keywords=corey+berrier&qid=1674232549&sprefix=%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreysalescoach/
