Are you goal setting, tradie?

Many tradies and builders start their businesses without clear goals, focusing initially on just surviving. Without direction, businesses can become overwhelming, with more work, stress, and insufficient financial reward.

No one starts a business to be overworked and stressed, but without goals, you might end up there. The good news: it’s not too late to change this.

You can set goals – start with these two: 

  1. A 3-year business vision
  2. Short-term goals for the next 4–6 months

Use the Trade Business Lifestyle Ladder as a guide, focusing on money, time, and freedom. Identify specific steps to move up from your current position and tackle urgent problems first. Aim for realistic goals to ensure progress.

So get the Goal Setting worksheet and get started.
