When You Carry a Toolbox but Also Need a Briefcase
08/30/22 • 30 min
We need tradies, as they're called in Australia - those who make their living with tools, skill and craftsmanship.
There was a time when the big push was to get a university degree, and working in the skilled trades was a plan B or C.
Thankfully, that's changing, but those tradespeople are often also trying to be small business operators, and there isn't a lot of overlap in knowledge and skill set.
Sam Maxton helps with that and more.
Listen to find out how.
