What does it take to grow a trades business?
Everyone desires growth. But if you’ve been in business for a while, you know that getting from point A to point B is no easy feat.
Nevertheless, it’s not impossible!
A good practice, though, once you’ve made it to a certain level of growth, would be to take a hard look at the lessons learned along the way. Gauge what worked and what didn’t work and commit to doing better.
