Welcome to the Trade Mastermind Podcast, where we dive into the incredible success stories of tradespeople who've transformed their businesses and lives. In today's episode, we have a truly inspiring journey to share with you.
Join us as Joseph Valente, the host of the Trade Mastermind Podcast, takes us on-site to meet Chris Saddler, the owner of a remarkable solar business. Chris's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He's gone from running a humble domestic electrical company to rapidly expanding into a high-growth solar business, all thanks to the guidance and support of the Trade Mastermind.
Do you ever find yourself stuck in your business, struggling to make it big, or contemplating giving up on your dreams? Chris was there too. He spent a decade facing these challenges and was on the brink of returning to traditional employment when a life-changing email from Joseph Valente landed in his inbox.
In this captivating conversation, you'll discover how Chris turned his business fortunes around, elevating his annual revenue from a modest 300K to an astonishing 3 million dollars within just 18 months. But the real magic lies in the method – Chris's journey was only made possible through his introduction to the Trade Mastermind.
You'll hear about Chris's initial frustrations, doubts, and weariness, and how the Trade Mastermind offered him a lifeline with a free webinar. This was the first step in his incredible transformation, and it could be yours too.
Joseph Valente, known for his ability to make quick, informed decisions, shares the importance of learning and growing in your trade business. He emphasizes the value of upfront education and understanding the "why" behind your need for training.
Chris's story takes an interesting turn when he reveals that his original goal was to delve into Electric Vehicle (EV) installations for bigger ticket sales. However, the Trade Mastermind's guidance led him to a different, yet more lucrative path. The key takeaway here is the importance of tracking profits rather than chasing revenue blindly, a common pitfall for many tradespeople.
This podcast episode also highlights the power of identifying scale-able business models, a crucial revelation that led Chris to venture into the competitive solar market with newfound confidence. He went from doubting his ability to compete with major players to realizing that his small company had the potential to thrive in the renewable energy sector.
If you've ever felt like you're drowning in diverse, low-margin jobs that lack predictability and scalability, this episode will inspire you to change your approach. It's about targeting bigger-ticket projects with higher margins and forecasting your cash flow, all while expending the same effort to acquire customers.
Join us as we wrap up our visit to Kimble Tech with Chris and his dedicated team, who have achieved remarkable success.
