Dougie’s journey into the trades began at just 15 years old. Starting as an apprentice, he quickly honed his skills and became highly proficient in his trade. But, like many tradespeople, Dougie found that being great at hands-on work didn’t necessarily mean he knew how to run a business.
For years, his business struggled to take off. While he was good at the technical side of things, managing the finances, scaling operations and planning for growth seemed like an insurmountable challenge. He found himself stuck, feeling like his dream of running a successful business was slipping away.
It wasn’t until he discovered Trade Mastermind that everything began to change. “Before I started, my life was an absolute nightmare,” Dougie admits. But after joining the programme, he began implementing the strategies and guidance he received and the difference was immediate.
Within just a few months, Dougie saw his revenue skyrocket from £20,000 a month to a projected £100,000. “I can’t complain, can I?” he says, with a smile. And the best part? He’s not stopping there. Dougie plans to hire five new staff members next month, and he’s already eyeing £150,000 a month in revenue. The transformation in his business has been nothing short of remarkable.
“I wanted to learn how to run my business properly, and that’s exactly what I got at Trade Mastermind,” Dougie explains. He found that the programme covered everything from A to Z, teaching him not just how to work harder, but smarter. It wasn’t just about learning the technical skills, he learned how to scale his business, manage his finances, and recruit the right people.
Dougie’s advice for anyone in the trades, whether you’re just starting out or have been in the business for years, is simple: “I’d recommend Trade Mastermind to anyone. You’ll get taught everything you need to know, and it works.”
Today, Dougie is not only running a successful business—he’s building a team, growing rapidly, and achieving milestones he once thought were out of reach. For any tradesperson who feels stuck or overwhelmed, Dougie’s story is proof that with the right mentorship, everything can change.
Before joining Trade Mastermind, running a business felt like pure chaos. Work was coming in, but everything behind the scenes was disorganised, stressful, and unsustainable.
That all changed when he decided to stop winging it and start running his business properly.
Since joining Trade Mastermind, he has gone from making £20K a month to a projected £100K next month—and he’s not stopping there. With five more staff joining next month, he’s aiming for £150K a month in revenue.
Like many tradespeople, he had mastered his craft but never learned how to actually run a business.
He started young, working in the trades since he was 15 years old. When the opportunity came to open a business, he jumped in, thinking he could figure it out along the way. The reality? Being great at the trade didn’t mean knowing how to scale a company.
That’s why he joined Trade Mastermind—to learn the A to Z of running a business properly.
The transformation has been unbelievable. Before, he was just getting by, constantly putting out fires. Now, everything is structured, predictable, and scalable.
Instead of just focusing on getting jobs done, he’s building a company that runs efficiently and profitably.
For any tradesperson struggling with growth, his advice is simple: learn how to run a business the right way.
Trade Mastermind provides the blueprint, the training, and the support to take a trade business from surviving to thriving.
