The only thing ever constant in this world is change, and the same is true for trade businesses. The market just continues to evolve and it will keep evolving. So, you need to either go with the evolution or get left behind and watch your business go down the drain.

Today, I felt inclined to do a podcast that would help trade business owners spot great opportunities within their vertical. Most of the time, we find it hard to catch up with new trends that we tend to miss out on opportunities. We need to capitalise on these emerging trends, but how?

Let me show you how through this simple framework I’ve put together. You can use this for your business to ascertain whether or not potential opportunities are going to be a hit or a miss. Let’s get into it!
