15 Years of Electrical Business Advice - From Burnout to Success | Adams Story

15 Years of Electrical Business Advice - From Burnout to Success | Adams Story

Author: Greg Allan: Business Podcast For Construction and Trade Entrepreneurs August 27, 2024 Duration: 46:31

What happens when you build your business to a team of 30+ staff but don’t have the systems and support to make it sustainable? What happens to your life, your relationships and your mental health when you don’t have any boundaries between your personal life and business? 

Adam Taylor joins us this week to share his story about how a few years ago his business and marriage fell apart. We celebrate Adam so much for allowing himself to be raw and vulnerable in the sharing of his story. Running a business, being a parent and a spouse is no easy feat, especially without any support. Adam takes such a stellar amount of accountability and shows such a positive example of masculinity when he speaks about the mistakes he made in the past. It takes real courage to self-reflect and invest your time and energy in becoming the best version of yourself.

Since joining the Academy, Adam has rebuilt his life and business and he shares the three most important lessons he's learnt along the way:

  • Know your cost of ops - get really clear on your business numbers
  • Do a daily brain dump to finish off your workday - clear your mind so your family get the best of you, not a distracted, stressed version of you
  • Get support - if you’re struggling with anything big or small, reach out for help, from friends, family, coaches or even a therapist!

Running a trade business often means juggling a dozen jobs at once, trying to keep clients happy while the paperwork piles up and your own time vanishes. It’s a specific kind of pressure that generic business advice just doesn’t address. That’s exactly where the Tradies Success Podcast comes in. Hosted by Greg Allan, this series cuts straight to the chase for electricians, plumbers, builders, and specialists in every field from concreting to metal fabrication. Each episode moves beyond theory, focusing on the tangible steps you can take to build a more profitable and sustainable operation. You’ll hear from fellow tradespeople who have been in your boots, sharing their real-world stories about what actually worked to increase their margins and reclaim their weekends. The conversations delve into practical tools for pricing, systems, client management, and mindset-all framed for the unique rhythms and challenges of a hands-on trade. If you’re aiming for growth without the constant grind, this podcast serves as a direct line to actionable strategies and honest talk about building a business that works for you, not the other way around. It’s a resource created specifically for construction and trade entrepreneurs who are ready to translate their skill into lasting success.
