The Trade Den

A lot of great tradies get a rude shock when they step into business ownership. It feels like it should be simple: if you’re exceptional at your trade, surely running your own business is the next logical move. But, the skills that make you brilliant on the tools don’t automatically make you effective in business.  Many tradies go out on their own because they are looking for more.  More time, more money, more freedom. Then reality hits. Technical skill, attention to detail and problem-solving aren’t enough to build profit, systems, leadership or strategy. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Great tradies rarely become great business owners without intentional skill development habits. 🔨 Identity as a tradie must evolve before a business can grow sustainably. 🔨 Business ownership demands new thinking, new systems, leadership, finance and marketing mastery. 🔨 Letting go of perfectionism is essential for building empowered, capable teams today. 🔨 Strategic planning requires stepping back from daily tasks to see direction clearly. 🔨 Growth happens when owners unlearn trade habits and embrace business-focused skills fully.  … Book a free Discovery Call to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If your Monday starts with grabbing your phone, checking what’s urgent and reacting your way into the week, you’re not alone, it’s how most owners of a trades business begin. The trouble is, that a reactive start usually turns into a reactive week, leaving you exhausted, busy, and unsure of what you actually achieved.  Today, we unpack one of our most powerful productivity tools: the Monday Morning Momentum Framework. It’s a simple ritual that takes just 15–20 focused minutes but can completely shift how you operate. Instead of letting the week control you, this framework helps you sharpen your axe and move the business forward with intention. In this episode you’ll learn: 🔨 Fifteen focused minutes can shift you from overwhelmed to organised for the entire week. 🔨 Celebrating wins builds confidence and momentum even during challenging business periods. 🔨 Facing facts helps you learn quickly and avoid repeating the same mistakes. 🔨 One clear priority each week moves your business forward more than endless to-dos. 🔨 Scheduling tasks protects your time and prevents others from dictating your entire week. 🔨 Consistent routines turn chaos into clarity by anchoring your actions to real priorities.  In this episode we mention the book, The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller.

Real change in business doesn’t start with a new plan, a new hire, or a better market. It starts with who you choose to become. Because the business you’re running right now is a mirror of you. It reflects your standards, your habits, your leadership, your mindset.  You might want a $3 million business, but if you’re still showing up like a $1 million operator, that ceiling won’t budge. Growth doesn’t just happen by adding more to your to-do list; it happens by upgrading the person doing the doing. For things to change, first you must change. In this episode you’ll learn: 🔨 Your current business results reflect your habits, standards, mindset, and leadership daily. 🔨 You can’t reach new revenue levels while operating like your old self. 🔨 Strategies only work when the person implementing them upgrades their thinking and behaviour. 🔨 External factors aren’t the problem; meaningful change always starts internally within you. 🔨 Mindset shifts unlock the strategic actions needed to hit bigger goals. 🔨 For things to change this year, you must change consistently first.  For some examples of change and transformation we mention two previous podcast guests: Jerry Redman journey from episode 95, and Grant Hatley from episode 91. We encourage you to go back and listen to those conversations: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DcSmeN59hroObrubbwFZ3  … Book a free Discovery Call to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last episode you set clear Goals for the business you want to build and the lifestyle you want to live, but without a roadmap on how to get there it is just a wish list. Wish lists do not build profitable, sustainable businesses. Strategic plays do.  Today we unpack how to turn your 12-month Goals into strategic plays which becomes the 12 month roadmap, chunked down into quarterly sprints that create real momentum and real results.  It’s important to nail the distinction between a goal with a strategic play. Getting this wrong leads to overwhelm, lost focus and another year that looks exactly like the last. Getting it right changes everything. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Separating goals from strategic plays prevents confusion and improves planning efficiency quickly. 🔨 Fewer strategic plays executed well create far better yearly momentum and results. 🔨 Quarterly focus keeps plans realistic and stops overwhelm from piling up. 🔨 Hiring, pricing and systems changes all require longer timelines than most expect. 🔨 Overcommitting to too many plays guarantees stalled progress and scattered attention. 🔨 Stacking small wins each quarter compounds into major transformation over several years.  … Book a free Discovery Call to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new year always brings a rush of energy, fresh headspace, fresh perspective and that feeling of “right, let’s go again.” But while most people drift into January with vague wishes about earning more, working less or getting fitter, very few actually sit down and map out what they want their business and life to look like in 12 months’ time.  That is the difference between hoping and heading somewhere on purpose. Clear goals create clarity. Clarity builds confidence. And confidence fuels momentum. This is why intentional planning matters, not just for those who feel stuck but for those who want to keep moving forward. In this episode, we dive into the first step of setting up your best year yet.  In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Clear goals create clarity that transforms motivation and focus throughout the year. 🔨 Intentional planning replaces vague wishes with a purposeful direction for your business. 🔨 A defined roadmap helps you lead confidently instead of reacting to daily chaos. 🔨 Without clear targets, you risk staying stuck in repetitive, unproductive routines. 🔨 Writing goals down increases accountability and keeps progress visible all year. 🔨 Better is always available when you plan deliberately and chase it consistently.  … Book a free Discovery Call to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we close in on the end of the year, give yourself some space to reflect. Don’t just glance back at what has happened; take the time to dig deep and review the year with intent. Doing so will help you uncover valuable lessons, celebrate the wins that often go unnoticed, and strengthen the confidence needed to move forward.  We outline a clear five-question framework to guide you through the process, helping you to turn challenges into growth, recognise what truly worked, and let go of what no longer serves. Take the opportunity this Christmas to reset, gain clarity, and shape the year ahead with purpose and direction.  In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Reflection is a powerful way to create forward momentum and clarity. 🔨 Deep review helps uncover lessons that surface-level reflection often misses. 🔨 Celebrating small wins builds motivation, gratitude, and lasting self-belief. 🔨 Honest reflection turns challenges into lessons and lessons into growth. 🔨 Clarity comes from recognising what worked and letting go of what didn’t. 🔨 Purposeful reflection sets the foundation for a stronger, more focused year ahead.  … Book a free Discovery Call to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fourteen months ago, plasterer Jerry Redman was stuck on the hamster wheel: long hours, tight cashflow, confused on how to break the cycle.  Then he discovered The Trade Den and made the commitment to change.  Today, he runs a $2M+ owner-operator business, is completely off the tools, leads an eight-man high-end plastering crew, has support in the office, and is building a business that actually serves his family, lifestyle and financial future.  In this episode, we follow Jerry’s epic journey through cashflow crunches, pricing overhauls, installing back-office systems, and shifting his identity from a plaster who ‘just works harder’ to a leader who focuses on growth and profits.  If you’re feeling stuck but know you’re capable of more, Jerry’s story is proof of what’s possible when you set clear goals, follow the right roadmap and commit to the priorities that matter.  This might be the kick you’ve been waiting for. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Pricing systems gave clarity, confidence and control over every project delivered. 🔨 Letting go of the tools unlocked strategic thinking and real business growth. 🔨 Strong habits and personal discipline fuelled consistency through every tough stage. 🔨 Community support and coaching accelerated decisions, learning and long-term momentum. 🔨 Empowering a team creates pride, ownership and higher-quality outcomes on site. 🔨 Strategic growth replaced chaos, giving Jerry a business with real direction.  Jerry started making the change from listening to episodes 23, 24, and 25 of The Trade Den. We encourage you to go back and listen to these three episodes on pricing:  23. The Most Costly Pricing Mistakes You Can Make in a Trades Business 24.

It’s that time of year again where everyone’s counting the days to a well-earned break. The last thing you want to hear about is another checklist or another thing to do. But here’s the truth: the businesses that plan their shutdown properly are the ones that actually get to switch off. They come back refreshed, ready, and miles ahead of the ones still checking emails on Christmas Eve.  So before you throw in the towel for the year, take a breath. A clean shutdown now means a stronger start later. We walk you through the simple steps that make the difference between burnout and a real break. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Businesses that plan well switch off fully and start stronger in January. 🔨 Half-finished jobs today become holiday headaches tomorrow, so close them out. 🔨 Communicate early and clearly with clients, suppliers, and your own team. 🔨 Lock away tools and materials before thieves or vandals find your hard work. 🔨 Cashflow slows over Christmas, so invoice early and follow up before you rest. 🔨 Switch off properly, enjoy your family, and reward yourself with a real break.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever felt that tug-of-war between wanting to let go and needing to stay in control?  You know the business can’t grow unless you start trusting your team; but the last time you did, something went wrong. A mistake on a job. A quote that blew out. A client that complained. And since then, your grip has only tightened. Fear keeps you stuck. Because without trust, you become the bottleneck. You stop your team from stepping up.  Today, we unpack how to build that kind of trust. It’s the invisible ingredient every great business runs on. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Micromanagement often comes from fear, not leadership or effective control. 🔨 Past mistakes shouldn’t dictate your future ability to trust others. 🔨 Real trust is earned through capability, consistency, and clear communication. 🔨 Letting go doesn’t mean losing control, it means creating freedom and growth. 🔨 Without trust, you become the bottleneck that slows your business down. 🔨 When trust grows, your people step up and your business thrives.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most business owners tackle time the wrong way. They cram more in with new systems, apps or hires, hoping it will fix the chaos. But when your cup is already overflowing, adding more only makes the mess worse.  The real fix starts with one question: What should I stop doing immediately?  When you stop, you create capacity. Then you can start the things that matter and continue what’s already working. The simplest and most effective framework for taking back control of your time and your business is: stop, start, continue. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what counts.  In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 When your cup is full, creating capacity starts with stopping first. 🔨 The first question isn’t what to add, it’s what to stop. 🔨 Eliminating low-value work unlocks time for higher-impact priorities. 🔨 Stopping creates space, starting moves you forward, continuing builds momentum. 🔨 Focus on what delivers value, not on staying endlessly busy. 🔨 Growth happens when you shed what no longer serves your business.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the right coaching, he’s now leading with confidence, charging what he’s worth, and planning for the future.  Grant’s story hasn’t just turned his business around; he shattered the limiting the beliefs that were holding him bank and stepped into being the leader he was destined to be. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Pricing clarity was the catalyst that saved his business from collapse. 🔨 Personal ownership marked the turning point in both mindset and results. 🔨 Speaking up and making a declaration created powerful public accountability. 🔨 Coaching unlocked not just profit—but deep personal growth and belief. 🔨 Systems, not hustle, became the foundation for scalable success. 🔨 Changing identity from tradie to business owner reshaped his entire trajectory.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stress isn’t just a feeling. It’s not simply being busy or under pressure, it’s your body’s primal response to threat. The same surge of cortisol that once saved us from a lion still fires when the invoice is overdue, a staff member quits, or the pipeline runs dry.  Why is that a problem? Well, in business that lion never stops chasing us. For months or years, we can stay in fight-or-flight mode, and the cost shows up everywhere: in our health, our families, and our bottom line.  We explore the traps business owners fall into: working harder, avoiding, numbing, and share how to break the cycle through awareness, healthy habits, and smarter strategies. Because you can’t outrun stress. But you can learn to face it, manage it, and come out stronger.  In this episode you’ll learn: 🔨 Stress isn’t just mental: it’s your body’s physical alarm system. 🔨 Constant pressure keeps your body redlining, and something eventually breaks. 🔨 Most people respond by working harder, avoiding, or numbing the pain. 🔨 Real progress starts by naming stress, facing it, and tackling the cause. 🔨 Healthy habits: eating well, sleeping, moving, rebuild your resilience and focus. 🔨 You can’t outrun stress, but you can learn to master it.  If you’re felling stressed or overwhelmed, and need someone to talk, we recommend you reach out to TIACS, a free phone and text counselling service for Australia’s tradies: https://www.tiacs.org/ or phone 0488 846 988.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “It’s just easier if I do it myself,” you might be caught in the control trap. And it’s likely costing your business more than you think. One of the biggest blockers to growth in trades businesses is the control freak mindset. Over time, it creates dependency, stalls decision-making, and drains time and energy from the owner. Growth slows, stress builds, and the team fails to reach its potential.  The solution lies in shifting from control to capability: setting boundaries, empowering others to think, and accepting that mistakes are part of progress. True leadership isn’t about doing it all, it’s about enabling others to thrive. Letting go isn’t easy, but it’s essential if the goal is a business that can grow without being handcuffed to the owner.  In this episode you’ll learn: 🔨 Micromanagement creates dependency and prevents teams from thinking independently.  🔨 Perfectionism often disguises a deeper fear of losing relevance. 🔨 True leadership means enabling others, not doing everything yourself. 🔨 Delegation requires boundaries, trust, and acceptance of occasional mistakes. 🔨 Control creates a ceiling; empowerment creates momentum and scale.  🔨 Building capability in others frees you to focus on your strengths.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the smartest move you could make in business… was saying no?  Not just to the wrong jobs. But to the wrong clients. The tempting work that looks good today could wreck your team, reputation, and bottom line tomorrow.  Every successful trade business hits a point where demand outweighs capacity. More calls, more bookings, more “can you just…?” requests. And the gut instinct is to say yes to it all. But the thing is, more isn’t always better. Better is better.  Today, we look at the real cost of saying yes to everything, including the burnout, the bottlenecks and missed invoices. When you learn to say no the right way, your business finally gets room to grow the right way.  In this episode you’ll learn: 🔨 The wrong job at the wrong margin kills long-term profitability fast. 🔨 Overcommitting stretches your team thin and erodes morale and quality. 🔨 Too many open jobs stall invoicing and choke cash flow completely. 🔨 Taking on poor-fit clients risks your reputation and your best customers. 🔨 Saying no strategically creates scarcity, demand, and premium pricing opportunities. 🔨 Every yes is a no to something better – choose wisely, not reactively.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phil Kerr was overworked, frustrated…angry. He was running a seven-day-a-week business that had plateaued, barely paying himself, and missing time with his young family. The breaking point? An honest drawing from his four-year-old son: a picture of his dad as an angry man.  That moment changed everything. Phil realised something had to give. He couldn’t just keep working harder; he needed to work smarter and lead differently.  Fast-forward to today and Phil has transformed not only himself but also Minibeasts Enterprises, the business that ships millions of crickets, mealworms, and rodents to pet stores and zoos across Australia every year. With new systems, stronger leadership, and a renewed focus on culture, Phil turned a struggling operation into a thriving, national enterprise.  In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 How uncovering blind spots can transform leadership and decision-making. 🔨 The systems that turn a struggling business into a thriving national supplier. 🔨 Why personal growth is often the key to business growth. 🔨 How redefining culture lifts team standards and performance. 🔨 Why hiring for mindset matters more than hiring for skills. 🔨 How becoming more present creates stronger family and business connections.  Check out the incredible business of Minibeasts Enterprises: https://minibeastsenterprises.com.au/  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The language we use as parents plays a critical role in shaping a child’s mindset, self-belief, and relationship with challenge.  Every time we speak to our kids, we’re either setting them up to grow or teaching them to avoid challenge. It’s not about being perfect parents. It’s about becoming more aware.  From “you’re so smart” to “you tried your best,” we unpack the unintended messages hiding in everyday praise. Whether your kids are little or already grown, the words you choose today could shape their self-belief for years to come. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Language shapes a child’s mindset more than most parents consciously realise. 🔨 Praising effort builds resilience; praising talent can unintentionally limit confidence. 🔨 Children interpret tone and repetition, not just the words being spoken. 🔨 Avoid labels that suggest fixed ability; highlight perseverance and strategic thinking instead. 🔨 Encouragement should focus on progress, not just outcomes or personality traits. 🔨 Small shifts in language can lead to lifelong changes in self-belief.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Too many tradies burn out trying to be everything at once – accountant, lawyer, marketer, and still a hands-on business owner – and it’s costing them time, money, and growth.  The smartest operators build a “power team” of professionals who protect their business, unlock opportunity, and keep them focused on what they do best.  There are two layers of support every growing trades business needs: trusted advisors (accountant, financial planner, solicitor, coach) and go-to specialists (brokers, marketers, IT, industry bodies).  Together, they help you stay compliant, plan ahead, and avoid costly mistakes, and you gain clarity and confidence to make better decisions. Start by auditing who’s already in your corner, fill the gaps, and upgrade where needed.  In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Surround yourself with experts so you can play to your strengths. 🔨 The right power team turns chaos into clarity and confidence. 🔨 Invest in advice now to unlock massive future growth and freedom. 🔨 Upgrade your team as you grow – loyalty shouldn’t limit your opportunities. 🔨 Free advice from poor sources is often the most expensive mistake. 🔨 Audit your current crew, fill the gaps, and leverage expert support.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or  https://www.instagram.com/pravargroupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When something goes wrong in your business, what’s your first reaction? Do you spiral into self-doubt, or ask yourself what you can learn from this? That instant response reveals your mindset …and it’s either propelling your business forward or holding it back.  Today, we dive into one of the most powerful concepts in business psychology: fixed versus growth mindset. It’s not just theory. It’s the reason some business owners thrive while others stay stuck.  We unpack how your mindset impacts your skills, resilience, relationships and results – and what to do about it if you’re serious about changing your trajectory. In this episode you’ll learn:  🔨 Your mindset shapes how you respond to setbacks, challenges, and criticism. 🔨 Mindset isn’t binary – you can be fixed in one area, growth in another. 🔨 Feedback isn’t personal – it’s information to help you level up and grow. 🔨 Setbacks aren’t proof you’ve failed; they’re data to guide your next move. 🔨 Language like “I can’t” or “I’m not good” reveals mindset traps. 🔨 Shifting from fixed to growth starts with awareness of your inner dialogue.  … Book a free Strategy Session to start your journey toward building a sustainable business and balanced life: www.strategysession.com.au  And if you’re not already part of The Trade Den please come over to our community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thetradeden  Find out more about Pravar Group at www.pravargroup.com or https://www.instagram.com/pravargroup See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
