Welcome to the Business for Builders podcast! Thanks for dropping by - I appreciate it!
My name is Max and I am a carpenter and joiner by trade and a qualified residential home builder. I'm a thoroughbred entrepreneur and am the Founder of Elite Business Advisory (Business Coaching) and the the Co-Owner and Managing Partner of Smith & Sons Coldstream, General Contractors.
This show focuses on best business planning, strategic and operational practices to help you maximize your business profits and improve your lifestyle. It is built for those that own, or are involved in the construction sector running a general contracting or trade services business or even if you're an apprentice!
Unfortunately, the availability of the very necessary business development, strategic planning and financial education isn't delivered well enough to trades to significantly reduce the failure rates world wide; which is 50% of new companies by year 5.
The priority as we learned our trade was the technical aspect of the trade, not necessarily the business and financial management and development of our business which markets and sells your skills.
The Business for Builders podcast has been set up to provide business building information and insight for residential home builders, general contractors and trade operators who are looking to fill the gaps, remove the deficiencies and vulnerabilities in their business and build a high performance construction business.
Our goal is to help you increase your business and financial intelligence whilst you continue to run your business. Subjects relating to Mindset and Self Improvement, Financial Management, Marketing (Digital & Local), Strategic Planning and Business Development are the focus because as construction practitioners, this is our blind spot!
We know this business podcast will bring awareness and basic education and will help you improve all aspects of your business. Here's to your success...now let's go build a kick-ass business!! Cheers!!
