Contractor to Small Biz

Hello fellow WSO -

Anyone ever take the time to learn a trade skill to eventual entrepreneurship?

I have time on the weekends right now, and some places offer weekend/online trade skill courses to get certification.

I thought about starting my own once I’m licensed. I see trucks for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing/cleaning always driving around town.

Anyone experienced doing this? Or any suggestions?

Thank you!
