Starting and Scaling a Plumbing Business

Starting and Scaling a Plumbing Business

Author: Greg Allan: Business Podcast For Construction and Trade Entrepreneurs August 7, 2024 Duration: 46:02

This week on the podcast we have academy member Marshall Waide from QLD who just put on his first tradie. Marshall is already enjoying the benefits of scaling so much that he's purchased two more work vehicles and is planning on hiring two more tradies to join his team.

We love bringing you stories from our members, this one, in particular, highlights the experience of someone early on in their growth journey. Marshall says he's had a complete mindset shift since joining the academy and now with the support from coach Lauren. He also has a better understanding of the inner workings of the business that he never had when he was "just a tradie".

Join Greg and Marshall in this week's episode to hear more about the things Marshall has learnt and his plans for the future in his trade business.

If you're already a member of the academy, be sure to book a session with Lauren to go even deeper around mindset and receive tangible takeaways specific to you.

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.
