Episode 029 || Asking Questions - Why This is Critical to The Success of Your Trades Business

The art of asking questions is a critical element that can help shape the future of your trades business. However, as we grow older, our enthusiasm to ask questions fades out, and for others, asking questions only makes them anxious and feel stupid.

In this episode of Profit First For Tradies, we delve into asking questions - why this is critical to the success of your trades business.

A recent conversation with my client has made me realise that although the concept of asking questions may occur naturally for others, some have different, and often negative perceptions towards it.

However, the journey to your trades business’ success does not end in asking questions alone, it integrates asking the right person, having comfortable conversations with your financial team, and determining whether their responses are helpful to your business progress.

In this episode of the Profit First for Tradies, you’ll learn the following:

  • The impact of not asking questions or asking the wrong questions (01:10)

  • The essence of seeking clarifications through questions (02:55)

  • Why it’s necessary to ask the right person (05:01)

  • The importance of open and comfortable communication with your financial team (05:42)

  • The value in not being afraid to ask AGAIN and attentively listening to the answers (07:25)

Understanding the impact of not asking questions or focusing on the wrong questions empowers you to make informed decisions, grab better opportunities and thrive in the ever-changing trades industry.
