    Hi Daniel absolutely love your content just subscribed and turned on my notification bell. My name is Abdullah I'm 20 years old and I currently live in Toronto, Canada I have worked in the construction industry as a laborer and to be quit frank I absolutely fell in love with this industry. Ive decided that this is the profession I would like to pursue, for the past couple months I have been trying to learn as much as I possibly can about the different roles in this industry. To get a better understanding on what role best fits me and what is the most efficient way to get there. After coming across your channel you have absolutely opened my eyes in the potential of this industry through your perspective. My long term goal is to become a successful owner of a construction business. As a 20 year old who is hungry for success and wants to be in your shoes one day, what path would you recommend me to take. Should I take the schooling route, should I work for a successful contractor and learn home remodeling or is there a different route. Thank you for your content, you have inspired me and I hope one day I can get on a call with you to learn much more.

      If you’re brand new, I highly recommend you spend some time actually learning how to be a professional construction manager.
      If you don’t want to wait, I would start finding small subcontractors and bid for interiors packages like framing, drywall, paint. Focus on small/medium jobs. Low risk easy jobs.
      I can help you do this if you want.

He was an architect in Cuba and here he works in construction, but he definitely needs to start working as a contractor. I hope for a response.
