The chance to go out and be my own boss was something that I had worked for a very long time.
So when we were told that we’d have to be working from home in our own air conditioning during the pandemic, I knew the time was close.
The time would be right for me to finally cut ties with the corporate office and go do what I love for myself. For sure, I knew it was going to be tough to leave that corporate paycheck behind. And I loved working inside the zone controlled HVAC of that building. Plus, I had spent a dozen years at this job honing my skills in preparation for starting out on my own. When the pandemic hit, it was very close to me being ready to go out on my own. In fact, I was on a last year countdown. I was being sent home to work from my own HVAC cooling that summer anyway. So, I chose to spend all the time I had cooped up inside the quality heating and air of my house getting the last bit together and waiting for the right moment. The pandemic actually ended up tacking a few more months on to my proposed launch date. But once there was a viable vaccine, I was ready because that meant I could get out and visit potential clients. However, the pandemic gave me time to turn my guest room into quite the home office. I was doing all I could to save on overhead expenses. Still, I wanted that thermostat in my office like downtown. So I had the HVAC company install a ductless heat pump.
