What does it take to grow a trades business? 

Everyone desires growth. But if you’ve been in business for a while, you know that getting from point A to point B is no easy feat. 

Nevertheless, it’s not impossible!

A good practice, though, once you’ve made it to a certain level of growth, would be to take a hard look at the lessons learned along the way. Gauge what worked and what didn’t work and commit to doing better. 

That’s exactly what Taylor of Odyssey Landscapes shares in this podcast episode. 

Taylor shares essential details on how he grew his landscaping business from a team of 1 to 15 in just five years. 

He also discusses how investing in marketing and hiring a coach helped with his fast-paced growth, and the goal every business owner must have, and why learning must never stop. 

If you’d like to know of the practical ways you can get your business growing, then we highly recommend you tune in to this episode today.
