The lack of a warm spring and now the lack of warm weather in early June really made us go back and look at how we need to do things in the absence of favorable weather. It’s very easy for an HVAC contractor to sit back and complain about how bad things are because the weather hasn’t turned hot yet. The fact is, extreme weather in either direction certainly increases our business. But a key for us as contractors is to not sit around and cry about the weather, because that’s something over which we have no control.
I’m going to take this opportunity to share something that I have learned in my 50 years in the business: Don’t spend time worrying about things over which you have no control. That’s right. Don’t waste time and energy worrying and fretting about things like the weather. I get frustrated by government rules and regulations, and the like, and don’t enjoy them anymore than you do, but on a day-to-day basis, I can’t control what they do, so I don’t waste time worrying about them.
Spend your time worrying about the things you can control.
