We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Anthony Zuber a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Anthony , we are so happy that our community is going to have a chance to learn more about you, your story and hopefully even take in some of the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Let’s start with self-care – what do you do for self-care and has it had any impact on your effectiveness?
Self-care is an often overlooked yet crucial aspect of workplace success. Personally, I prioritize self-care for both myself and my team. I’ve incorporated a rigorous workout schedule and clean eating habits into my daily routine. Competing in triathlon races gives me a non-business goal to strive for, providing balance and perspective outside of work.
This commitment to self-care has significantly enhanced my effectiveness. The lifestyle of an entrepreneur is inherently stressful and demanding, but staying in top physical shape improves my focus and determination on a daily basis. Exercise also serves as an excellent outlet for stress.
Unfortunately, many business owners and employees neglect self-care, putting it on the back burner. However, making self-care a priority can greatly enhance your effectiveness and overall quality of life.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
My wife, Jennifer Zuber, and I own Point Electric LLC. Our vision for the company was to create jobs in the community while ensuring an exceptional experience for our clients. We offer both residential and commercial electrical services, meeting a wide range of needs with professionalism and expertise.
The electrical and trade fields are in high demand, yet there is a shortage of new talent entering the industry. Having started my career at an early age, I am deeply passionate about teaching and offering viable long-term career opportunities for those who choose not to pursue higher education.
At Point Electric LLC, we are committed to building a culture that enriches the lives of our team members and benefits the broader community. Through our dedication, we aim to foster a supportive environment where both our employees and our community can thrive.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Three things that have been most impactful to me are failure, relentlessness, and a commitment to constant improvement.
Failure taught me invaluable lessons early in my career. The challenges and setbacks I faced revealed insights I would have missed otherwise. These experiences taught me that not everything goes as planned, but as long as you set goals and aren’t afraid to fail and start again, nothing can stop you.
Relentlessness is a quality I developed over time through daily practice. This might be the most crucial skill—the ability to never quit, no matter how tough things get, is what separates those who wish their dreams would come true from those who make their dreams a reality.
Commitment to always improving was another area I honed as I grew older. The pursuit of learning new things and enhancing my skills has profoundly impacted my life. Regular reading and participating in mastermind groups to learn from others have significantly changed my life’s direction.
Do you think it’s better to go all in on our strengths or to try to be more well-rounded by investing effort on improving areas you aren’t as strong in?
I find this question quite thought-provoking. I believe in always playing to your strengths and continually improving in related areas. I’m a strong advocate for teamwork. With a well-rounded team, each member can fully leverage their strengths, pooling them together to achieve the best results.
I once heard a quote that resonates deeply with me: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” This philosophy guides my approach and strategy in both personal and professional settings. By working together, we can achieve greater success and make more meaningful progress.
