Matt Jones - Trade based business enthusiast

Starting a business can be a challenging and overwhelming task, especially for those in the trades industry who are used to working with their hands rather than managing a company. However, with the right approach and structure, the transition from being a technician to a business owner can be a successful and rewarding experience.

In this episode of The Site Shed podcast, we're excited to dive into the topic of how a tradesman can transition to a business owner. This is the first episode of our new podcast series "How to Structure your Trade Business" where we'll be discussing the strategies and techniques for building a successful trade business through an effective business structure.

Joining us as a guest co-host is Rob Kropp, the Founder of Pravar Group, who specialises in business coaching. Rob brings his experience in business growth and strategy to the table as we explore these topics.

During the episode, we'll cover the importance of having a business structure, building your team and strategizing to grow your business.
