Why Great Tradesmen Don't Make Good Owners

Tradesmen and technicians make the best workers.

We leave school and get straight into it while everyone else is fluffing around at College.

We're hard as nails so no job is too big or too tough.

And because of that we always crack on with it, we've got a reputation as better workers than you'll find in any other industry.

So why then do we find when we start a business that all of a sudden things become tricky.

You're trying to balance all sorts of jobs and responsibilities and as you grow, you're just wearing yourself thin.

The problem is that nobody teaches us how to run a business. (At least that used to be true.)

WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM TODAY’S PODCAST:

  • Understand where you *MAY* be going wrong in terms of running your business
  • Learn strategies you can use to get your business working more efficiently
  • Learn how to beat 99% of your opposition using simple mindset techniques which put you ahead
  • Have the opportunity to reflect on how your run your operation and if there might be an opportunity to change that in the future
