Some Of The Best Welding Business Advice We've Gotten.... So Far

In this episode, host Beau Wigington pulls together the most practical, hard-won business advice shared on WELD over the past three years—everything from getting your first customers and pricing your time, to choosing insurance, building a team, and using short-form video to keep orders flowing.

Key Topics Covered

Why reliability beats “stacking dimes” perfectionism for business growth (show up, do what you say)
Budgeting and bootstrapping: paying down debt, selling online, and reinvesting in tools
Social media that sells: consistent short-form posting, showing your face, and treating content as a product
Getting legal and protected: LLCs, accountants, business banking, and choosing the right insurance broker
Knowing when to hire: escaping burnout, delegating office work, and building a small, capable team

Culture that retains welders: safe shops, good lighting, respect, and clear values people can rally around
Mobile welding startup basics: van setup, Google Ads, word of mouth, and keeping a “day-job safety net”
Skill growth for beginners: daily reps, letting learning compound, and not chasing “perfect”
Sales fundamentals: websites, clear branding, phone numbers on trucks, and simple prospecting habits
