There is a thing called “imposter syndrome.” It’s a persistent fear that you aren’t the expert everyone says you are. It’s the feeling that you don’t deserve your success.
Plumbers face a difficult reality. The expectation for any service businesses is that we do it all and be it all. Expert plumbers as well as expert businesspeople. Know plumbing code and pricing strategy. Install tankless water heaters and run internet marketing campaigns. Stay up to date on OSHA and human resources laws. It’s overwhelming and ridiculous.
None of us are experts at it all. The jack-of-all-trades is master of none, right?
