In this episode, Erina and Geggs break down what they’re seeing on the ground across trade businesses in Australia.

We’ve got the tools you need to scale your business, automate, hire, and delegate. Book your call with our team to talk strategy and learn more about our program.

From live events in Sydney and Melbourne to coaching hundreds of tradies, they share real insights into what’s working, what’s not, and why some businesses are growing while others feel stuck.

One of the biggest takeaways is that the industry isn’t slowing down for everyone. While some tradies are struggling with uncertainty and lack of direction, others are having record months and even record quarters. The difference comes down to action, systems, and having the right support in place.

They also dive into the reality of running a trade business. It can feel isolating when you don’t have the right people around you. Many business owners don’t have anyone to talk to about challenges, decisions, or growth. That’s where community, accountability, and coaching can make a huge difference.

You’ll also hear practical insights around hiring, building a team, and what’s actually possible when you start thinking bigger. From tradies hiring multiple team members in a year to creating more time and freedom, this episode shows what can happen when you take action and follow a proven structure.

If you’re a tradie looking to grow your business, get more consistent work, and build something that gives you more freedom, this episode will give you a clear direction on where to start.

This year, the UpScale Team are lacing up for the Gold Coast Marathon to raise funds for TIACS, supporting mental health for tradies and blue-collar workers. You can support the cause here:
