Part 1: Transition from a technician to a business owner | Ft. Rob Kropp | Ep.363

Starting a business can be a challenging and overwhelming task, especially for those in the trades industry who are used to working with their hands rather than managing a company. However, with the right approach and structure, the transition from being a technician to a business owner can be a successful and rewarding experience. In this episode of The Site Shed podcast, we're excited to dive into the topic of how a tradesman can transition to a business owner. This is the first episode of our new podcast series "How to Structure your Trade Business" where we'll be discussing the strategies and techniques for building a successful trade business through an effective business structure.
