Achieving long-term success in the trades takes dedication and consistency.

It also takes a bit of strategic thinking! Forget about hiring new techs or trying some new and difficult “cure-all” strategy… you need to get back to the basics and re-discover the key to achieving your business goals.

In this episode, Lynn welcomes Danielle Putnam, President at The New Flat Rate, to talk about how to grow a winning blue collar business and feel successful every single day. Danielle shines light on her fascinating approach to creating a lifestyle of success in both her personal life and her blue collar business.

Listen in as Danielle shares her top tips and strategies for hitting your business goals without all the stress and overwhelm of trying something new.

On this episode of Transforming the Trades, Lynn and Danielle discuss:

  • How Danielle created a new lifestyle of success in life and business.

  • The key to achieving your business goals without hiring more techs or trying something new and difficult.

  • Why profit is the virtue of success, not top line sales.

  • Is goal-setting really the way to achieve long-term success in a trades business?

Actionable Key Takeaways for Trades Operators:

  • Set your business up to WIN. What can you do successfully TODAY? Do that and repeat.

  • Don’t try to justify your bad habits by counteracting them with good habits. Growth doesn’t happen that way. Instead, you must intentionally change your habits so they guide you on the path to success.

  • Instead of trying something new and difficult in your business, write out a list of “shoulds” and commit to succeeding in those first.
