Tips for Success as a Small Energy Services Business
After a seventeen-year career in the corporate energy and environmental solutions industry, I decided to venture out and find success as an entrepreneur. I founded 2KB Energy Services in 2015, and we have been in successful operation since then. What began as a lifestyle business supporting local colleagues and clients has grown into a seven-figure boutique consulting firm operating across multiple states. In this session, attendees will hear stories from that journey, along with insights on navigating our industry learned along the way. I’ll share candid thoughts and experiences with people, planning, process, product, and profit from the perspective of a minority-owned small business enterprise.
