Debunking Tradie Myths with Geggs and Dave - Ep 366

<p>In this episode of the UpScale Business Coaching Podcast, Dave sits down with the team to tackle the myths tradies hear (or tell themselves) that quietly hold their business back.</p><p>These aren't random opinions. They're the real excuses and beliefs that come up again and again on the phones with tradies looking to grow, and Dave breaks down why each one falls apart once you look closer.</p><p>You'll hear the truth behind statements like "I don't want to grow too big because I had a bad experience last time," why systems and onboarding (not headcount) are usually the real problem, and how letting go of being the guy on the tools is the hardest but most important shift for any tradie business owner.</p><p>They also get into profit margins, why relying only on word of mouth is leaving money on the table, and why coaching should be seen as an investment, not an expense.</p><p>If you're a trade business owner stuck in your own head about growth, this episode will challenge what you think you know and give you a clearer path forward.</p><p>Got a myth you think we missed?
