How Trades Leaders Build Multi-Million Revenue in the Boardroom | Trade Secrets Podcast
Fri Nov 28 2025
In this episode, host Joseph Valente breaks down what it really takes for trades business owners to scale with clarity and purpose. He explains the importance of starting with the end in mind—whether the goal is to exit, grow, or simply get off the tools.
Joseph discusses the “breakpoints” every business hits on the journey to the next level and why these moments of chaos are actually signs of growth. Drawing from his own journey—from plumber to £10M business owner, winner of The Apprentice, and founder of Trade Mastermind—he highlights why technical skills alone won’t scale a business. You must build the right systems, people, and mindset.
The episode centres on simplifying the business model, focusing on what’s truly scalable, and removing yourself as the bottleneck. Joseph encourages trades entrepreneurs to think bigger, invest in themselves, and follow proven strategies—because success leaves clues, and the blueprint to grow already exists.
