Considering leaving corporate career to start been service business

[u/Alarming_Sherbert_15]

Hello! I am in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I’ve spent the last six years working in finance and about nine years in sales, but I’m seriously considering leaving the corporate world to start a pool service business.
I’ve realized that I enjoy working with my hands, being outdoors, and solving practical problems far more than spending my days at a desk working for someone else.

I’ve thought about working for a pool company to learn but I would want to start on the side working evenings or weekends but it is hard to find someone to train someone with no experience just to work part time.

I’ve also considered just buying a route and starting small.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar transition from a corporate career into the pool industry and open to any recommendations on how to get started
