What does 'getting off the tools' mean for tradesmen?

Getting off the tools means stepping away from the hands-on trade work and transitioning into a leadership role where you focus on managing, scaling, and systemising your business. It allows you to move from being a technician to becoming a true business owner.

Why should I stop working in my trade business and start working on it?

Working in your business means you're caught up in daily tasks that can be delegated. Working on your business involves creating systems, improving operations, generating leads, and building strategies for long-term growth. This shift is essential to scale your trade business profitably and sustainably.

Is this training suitable for all types of trades?

Yes, the Trade Mastermind course is designed for all UK-based trades and construction business owners including electricians, plumbers, builders, roofers, and more. If you operate a trade business and want to grow it into a structured, profitable company, this course is for you.

Do I need business experience to join this programme?

No prior business experience is required. The training is specifically tailored for tradesmen who are experts in their trade but lack knowledge in running or scaling a business. You’ll learn everything from lead generation to business systems and scaling strategies.

How can Trade Mastermind help me grow to seven figures?

Trade Mastermind provides proven systems, processes, and mentoring that have been used to grow a one-man van operation into a multi-million-pound enterprise. The programme includes business coaching, marketing strategies, operational frameworks, and team-building insights to help you build a scalable business.

ABOUT TRADE MASTERMIND
Trade Mastermind is the UK’S NO.1 Training Provider for the Trades & Construction industry.

By working with the Trade Mastermind, you will learn the blueprint we used to build one of the largest and most famous installation companies in the UK.

Founded by Joseph Valente – BBC The Apprentice Winner, and previously 50% owned by Lord Alan Sugar, Impragas grew from one-man-in-a-van in 2012 to an award-winning company within just 7 years to 2019 with annual revenues of almost £12 million.

At its peak, the business was completing 6000+ installations per year, with almost 100 staff and operated in every major city in the UK (including Scotland and Wales)

HOW CAN TRADE MASTERMIND HELP YOU ACHIEVE 7 FIGURES?

Now we are here to help you, and the reason why the Trade Mastermind was founded is that there is a lack of training in the marketplace for Trade and Construction business owners. Plumbers start plumbing businesses, electricians run electrical businesses, and builders build houses, but no one is teaching you how to run a business until now.

We are passionate about helping trade and construction business owners be all they can be, get off the tools and have more time, freedom profit. If this sounds like you, join us to find out how we can help.
