I hit Monday running. For the first time, I’ve got real help in the field—and it’s freeing me up to focus on what grows the business: running errands that move jobs forward, returning calls fast, and spending time in sales and client relationships. It’s been a quick sprint to get here, but this is exactly where we need to be as a company. Every day feels like a mix of leadership, logistics, and learning—but it’s forward motion. I’m trying to grow with integrity and caution, but when momentum and opportunity show up, I’m not backing down. Right now, I’m testing the idea of bringing on part-time help—an 01 electrician who’s interested in coming on as a kind of contracted employee on payroll. It could be a win-win: tie him to revenue-producing work, track job profitability, and scale the electrical company without overextending. Opportunities like this don’t always come around. Week three kicks off today, and if things keep trending the way they are, he’ll be officially on payroll soon. This season’s all about smart growth, disciplined hiring, and building a trades business the right way—not fast and reckless, but fast and rooted.

It’s that time again — the Sunday Scaries. The moment business owners feel the tension between gratitude and grind. But I’ve decided that Sunday evenings aren’t for panic—they’re for presence. It’s the last leg of the weekend race with my family. Time to laugh, wrestle with my boys, help with bedtime chaos, hold my wife close, and focus on love and relationship before the week steals my attention. Because Monday’s coming whether I worry or not. That’s why I’ve built a new rhythm: the 4 AM alarm clock. It gives me several quiet, focused hours in the morning to pour into work before the world wakes up—so my business grows without stealing my life or my kids’ childhood. If you’ve ever felt that Sunday pressure creeping in… maybe it’s not about doing less. Maybe it’s about rearranging your hours so your priorities stay in the right order. Faith. Family. Then the fight. How do you handle your Sundays? Do you rest, plan, or grind early?

I didn’t plan to be a business owner. I wasn’t chasing “freedom” or trying to get rich. I just wanted to work hard, be honest, and do good electrical work for good people. That was it. Then one quiet day, the floor shifted. Through the company bookkeeper, I found out my boss had been stealing my Social Security. Not a mix-up. Not a clerical error. Theft. I had two choices: blow it up—or build something better. And I’ll be honest, the first one would’ve been easier. Anger is quick. Peace is slow. But I wanted to walk away with clean hands and a clear conscience. No smear campaign. No client poaching. Just a silent plan to start fresh. They say, “Make your plans and watch God laugh.” Well, I made mine—and God redirected the whole thing. I didn’t set out to start a business. But He led me here anyway. Mark’s Electric was born from that moment—not out of revenge, but conviction. Integrity over ego. Peace over noise. Now I’m learning that entrepreneurship isn’t just business—it’s discipleship. It’s how you build something that honors God while feeding your family and sharpening your character. This community—The Wired Life—is about that journey. The messy middle. The family balance. The daily lessons in faith and leadership. If you’ve ever had God rewrite your blueprint, drop your story below. I’d love to hear it.

When I started my electrical company, I thought freedom would mean more time, more money, more control. What I got instead—at least at first—was longer nights, tighter cash, and a constant tug-of-war between being a boss, a dad, and a man of faith. You learn fast that business ownership isn’t just about wiring jobs—it’s about wiring yourself for the load you’re about to carry. The paperwork, the doubt, the phone ringing while you’re trying to pray or eat dinner—it all hits at once. But here’s the truth: it’s worth it. Every invoice, every long day, every lesson. Because this thing you’re building isn’t just a business—it’s your blueprint for how your kids will one day build theirs. This community is where I’m laying that blueprint out, piece by piece. The good, the bad, and the redeemable. Pull up a chair—this is The Wired Life
