In this first episode of "Rise of the Trades," I share my honest story of how I went from a stressed out, overworked and skint carpenter and joiner. Working 90 hours a week, having cash flow problems and how my business controlled me and my time. I tell you all the classic mistakes, the same mistakes you will be making right now. I share the catalyst to what made me have a shift in my own mindset which led to me building, growing and selling a hugely successful construction company setting me and my family up for life. And how a meeting in a back street working mens club in Sheffield in 2012 helped me to become the UK's original and #1 trades and construction coach. I've now coached over 25,000 trades and construction business owners to build, grow and sell their businesses. My journey so far has been one hell of a ride as I'm sure yours is too.
