E83 | How to START A BUSINESS in Construction and keep your APPRENTICE! In this episode of the Trade Legends Podcast we chat with Jamie and Robbie about their journeys into the construction industry. Jamie always wanted to work with his hands, but in order to run and grow a successful construction business, he learned that coming off the tools was the only way to bring this about. Robbie, his young roofing apprentice, has been with Jamie for a couple of years. Robbie sees Jamie as an onsite mentor; a man who can teach him how to start a business, about working in construction, and how to adopt a good work ethic. Get involved in the topics that are discussed, including the state of the education system, how to start a business, and how to use social media as part of a wider marketing strategy. "Train people well enough so they can leave...but treat them well enough that they'll stay." #construction #startabusiness #apprentice 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:55 Jamie's Story 00:26:15 Expanding the Business 00:35:20 Robbie's Story 00:43:16 Apprentice of the Year 00:47:45 Changing your Mindset 00:50:14 Starting the Podcast 00:51:32 Future Plans and Final Thought Guests this week: Jamie and Robbie @TaylorTalksTrades / @TaylorRoofs Hosts: Alex @alexinsley ⭐ Proudly Sponsored by CT1 | www.ct1.com | @ct1ltd ⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ 🏷️ Save on over 50 Trade Brands | https://tradelegends.uk/discounts/
