About this episode

This episode discusses how to adopt a business mindset and focus on profit rather than getting bogged down in day-to-day tasks.

If you don’t, guess whose fault it is? Yes, it’s yours - it’s always yours – you’re the boss, who else is there? You could blame the economy … Albo … Trump … Putin Customers and their unreasonable demands around pricing Competitors and their stupid race to the bottom Or you could look at yourself and ask, “Do I do enough of the stuff that drives profit?” “(Do I act like a businessperson enough?)” Or, “Do I focus too much on the small stuff - the jobs, the day-to-day and neglect the business stuff?” “(Do I act too much like a tradie – not enough like a businessperson?)” Grab the Guide 'How to be more of a businessperson - less of a tradie' and find out the answers. -------------------------------------- Get the "HOW TO BE MORE OF A BUSINESSPERSON AND LESS OF A TRADIE" for Trades and Builders here: https://pages.smallfish.com.au/how-to-be-more-of-a-businessperson-and-less-of-a-tradie If you want more money (profit), more time (off work), and more freedom (from work, stress, responsibility) Book a Money Call: smallfish.com.au/tradies/money-call/ FOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoach Instagram…
