Why 50% of construction businesses FAIL within 3 years and what to do about it
Introducing the construction industry's leading program for small business owners who want to scale their business & get their time back
Even if you've had zero business training & things are more disorganised than you'd like to admit
The Problem With The Industry & How That Impacts YOU
You spend 4+ years learning your trade
At least 3 years at TAFE a day per week
They said:
"You're better than that job, you deserve more" or
"You should go out on your own"
So at some point you DID!!
NOW...
You're working huge hours - Probably 60+ hours a week. The Mrs and the kids aren't seeing you and it's becoming an issue.
You're constantly stressed and thinking about the business almost ALL of the time - And maybe you've never really shared the full extent of it with anyone.
Dealing with the lads is a mission every day - They're not bad but they just don't have the same drive as you (and look like they probably never will).
The numbers are a nightmare - The bank account is up and down like a yoyo and so are you. Underneath it all this is one of your biggest worries. You know you need to be on top of it but no one around you is giving you the clarity you need.
You know you're lacking the systems that the larger businesses have in place - Or maybe you don't even really know what exactly what people mean by this?
You do know that you need to get the quality right on the jobs and the work done to make the money you're after.
The only answer is work harder and go inward - stop telling people what the issues are because they can't really help..
AND
That's not working because deep down you know it's not sustainable!
If That's You... You're Not Alone
The reality of that story is this...
After 1 year 25% of those guys FAIL. They're insolvent and bankrupt.
After 3 years its nearly 50%. That's half the guys out there that "go out on their own" don't make it.
BUT, that's the industry standard AND that's "what everyone is doing"
No one sets out to fail when they start their business.
But that fallout is real
The REALITY is this: these guys go out there with no business training and 'wing it'
Running a business is at least as much of a skill as your trade is. Yet these guys start their business with no training. Not knowing that they are setting themselves up to FAIL
It's seriously a tragedy and we are on a mission to CHANGE IT.
Watch this video to hear our story:
Imagine This...
You've Got The Right SYSTEMS In Place
You got your hands on all the right 'tried & tested' systems.
Stuff that has been in place in super effective businesses just like yours.
AND you didn't have to try and invent them all yourself.
PLUS you had help to implement them so you don't have to be an IT guru to get things in place.
Your TEAM Are as Driven as You Are
You learnt the timeless but little principles of how to find, hire and keep the best people.
AND this allows you to concentrate on the future of the business rather than trying to do everything yourself.
No more hand holding or endless phone calls asking what to do - they take responsibility and they get the job done to the standard you expect!
Your Making More MONEY in Less HOURS
You're pricing right, you've got the right margins, your charging the right rates, you know how the business is performing.
You're not up late at night wondering where the cash is or trying to push out invoicing because things are getting tight.
You're finally getting the rewards you deserve for the hard work you've put in and this risk you've taken to own a construction business.
All you need is someone who has walked in your shoes.
Someone who has both the trades skills and the business knowledge to move you to the next level.
Someone who can teach you how to take what you’re already doing and transform it into a high-growth, high-profit system for success.

Once I got off the tools, my role soon became to lead and grow people while improving profits, winning high-profit jobs and ultimately, moving a business from Good to Great!

"I doubled my business in 18 months"
I always knew what I wanted to achieve but didn't know the HOW.
We were referred to Gerard through a friend, I booked a call and discovered everything I had been looking for.
When I started the program I was doing approx $500k per year and now we're doing nearly that per month.
Gerard is a true mentor and a friend. I could not ask for anything more. I love the community he has created with Master Trades Collective.
We also love that he works on the mental health & personal side as well as how to grow the business.
He shines a light on your natural abilities & how they can grow, so that you can best out of yourself as a business leader.

"I now have more time than ever"
I’ve been in the game 25 years and have been a licensed builder since 2005. I first saw Gerard on Facebook ads, and he got my attention.
I was trying to balance my business and personal life, working loads of hours and doing everything myself. I was frustrated because I felt like I was trapped.
I had no direction for my business and felt like I was taking on anything that came my way.
Now, I am more strategic and focused on one direction.
Prior to working with Master Trades Collective, I was a builder on the tools with zero time.
Now, I run the business as it should be and I have more time than ever.
I’ve grown personally and know I am on the right track.

“I’ve learned to work on my business & not in it”
We started our business to gain financial independence, support ourselves, and create something of our own.
I had challenges around the admin side of the business and knew I needed help.
I was referred to Gerard through a friend - Since working with Gerard I have learned to focus on working on my business instead of in my business.
As a couple, we understand each other better in terms of our strengths and how we can work best together.
My huge realisation is that it’s important to work on myself to grow my business.
For Mira, it has been such a help to have the guidance of MTC in her new role when officially joined the business. She has gained clarity on her part and confidence in her ability to help the company grow.
We would highly recommend MTC to anyone willing to work on themselves while they grow their business.

"It's been a game changer for us"
Working with MTC since 2020 and has been an absolute game-changer for us.
We started the business because we wanted to have more flexibility and be the masters of our own destinies. We knew we wanted to be in control of our choices and the money we could make, especially once we had a family.
But it wasn’t always easy. I knew I needed systems and processes but I didn’t know where to turn.
Kirt was working massive hours, the paperwork was overwhelming and although the business was growing, we didn’t know how to manage it all.
Understanding our strengths as individuals and how they apply to us at work and in our relationships has been amazing. We know how to offer value, have a clear strategy and come together to create powerful business growth.
We’ve grown our team of 2, to now having 3 trades, one apprentice and an operations manager with solid systems and processes. It’s been such a valuable investment personally and for the company.,
I now know what it takes to become a better leader and how to create a culture where our team is invested in our future business and the success of the company.
The personal development side of what Gerard teaches is incredible. If you grow yourself as a person, you will grow your business.
The value for money is amazing because this helps you grow your business as a leader but it also helps you grow in your life as a person and for this, as a couple, it’s made a massive difference.

"Quadrupled my business in less than 2 years!!!!!"
Before working with Gerard I had myself and a small team of guys working mainly within my local area.
I was lacking systems in my business, had trouble finding and keeping great staff and seemed to be working crazy long hours. With the birth of my second child fast approaching, I knew it was time to get help.
I had the big vision for growth, yet lacked the step by step know how and accountability to get there. I’ve now transformed my business and have both more time and more income.
I’ve moved from technician to CEO and gone from winning smaller jobs to now landing multi million dollar long term contracts. I have two office staff and a team of 15 efficient staff engaged in my future vision for the company.
We’re moving into new areas and defined our place in the market as leaders and are working like a well- oiled machine.
I’ve never been more excited for what lies ahead, and am stoked to have found Master Trades Collective to help guide me there.
Both my personal life and business have been transformed and I highly recommend working with Gerard to anyone wanting to scale their business to a million dollars and beyond.
