Sound familiar?

Are you working harder than ever, and still have no time and no cash?

You started your trade business, took the risk, brought on your first employees and have started building a team. But you're still doing jobs you thought you'd have handed off by now, because most of the business still lives in your head, and you've never had the time to actually build the systems that would get it out of there.

So your days go on running around putting out fires. You're busier than you've ever been, and you still can't see a way out. You know you need to grow, but you're too stuck in the chaos to build the off ramp to the next stage, the one where you've got a real team in place and can actually have a full weekend without spending it thinking about everything you need to do next week. Because right now, you're doing it all, and none of it's systemised.

Is this actually for me?

Who this workshop is for.

This is for you if

  • You're off the tools, or nearly off them, but the business still can't run without you.
  • You're turning over good money ($750K–$2M) but aren't seeing enough cash to justify the stress, effort and risk you've taken on.
  • You want to grow, but you don't know what to focus on because your days are spent putting out fires.
  • Your business is running on hard work and grit instead of the systems it actually needs, and deep down you know that's not going to hold forever.
  • You're finding it a bit lonely running this on your own, and want to learn from someone who's actually built and sold a trade business, scars and stories included, so you can avoid the same mistakes.

This isn't for you if

  • You're just starting out and turning over under $500K, this isn't the right stage for you yet.
  • You're chasing a quick fix, like a lead machine to fill your calendar overnight.
  • You just want to be told to double your rates and hope that solves it.
  • You're not ready to look honestly at what isn't working in the business yet.

"I wish I'd started working with John 8 years sooner. In two sessions he gave me tools I'd been guessing at for years. In our first 12 months I went from not enough work to a full schedule with new A-grade clients."

Hi, I'm John.

The owners I work with best are exactly where you are right now. Good business, real revenue, and still somehow everything runs through you.

I started out of my garage with no roadmap and no one telling me what came next. It took 18 years, a lot of expensive mistakes, and more than a few times I nearly lost it all, to build that into a business with 45 staff that didn't need me there every day, and eventually sell it.

So I know what it feels like sitting where you are. Too close to your own business to see what's actually keeping it dependent on you, and too busy running it to step back and work that out for yourself.

That's why I'm running this session. 90 minutes, live, to help you get clear on exactly where you stand and what needs to change, in the business and in how you think, to get to where you actually want to be.

Let's get into it.

Questions

What to expect.

John Grout. John isn't a professional coach, he built and sold his own multi-million-dollar electrical business. He still runs his own trade business today, alongside coaching other trade business owners to build highly profitable businesses, and stay profitable as they grow, helping them avoid the mistakes he made along the way.

This is a live, interactive session, so bring your questions and drop them in the chat as we go. You'll walk through the four stages of a trade business and find out exactly which one you're in, why owners get stuck at that stage and can't grow past it, and why a better business beats a bigger one, revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is king. You'll also work out the one number tonight that tells you exactly where you stand.

Yes. No card details, no catch. It's a genuinely free session.

Just show up. Having your last invoice or a recent job in mind helps, since you'll be working out a real number live, but it isn't essential.

90 minutes, live. Yes, a replay will be sent to everyone who registers.

Last thing

Getting unstuck isn't about working harder.
It's about working differently.

This is 90 minutes, live, online, free. No pitch you need to sit through, just a clear look at where your business actually stands and what to do next.
