A common mindset we come across as joinery business coaches is the "tradie mindset", something we struggle with when approaching the industry as Joinery isn't a trade business, it's a manufacturing business. We often find that business owners with the idea that they're running a tradie business have a completely different mindset than those who've settled into the manufacturer mindset. In today's episode Nigel and Aaron go over the tells that someone is still in the tradie mindset, and why it's important to think of yourself as a manufacturer in joinery rather than a tradie.
