Most contractors do this – wandering the crowded expo hall at a trade show, ogling the latest power tools, equipment, and gadgets on display. It's easy to get distracted by the flashy demos and shiny new toys. But are you really getting the most value out of these events?
In this episode, Tom shares his blunt opinion on why most contractors go to trade shows: "to jerk off to all the tools and then go party." While the tools are exciting, very few attendees actually take the time to learn how to grow their business in the educational sessions.
He wants you to stop "jerking off to tools" and start focusing on becoming a craftsman of your business.
In this episode, Tom discusses:
Most contractors go to trade shows to look at new tools instead of attending educational sessions that could help them make more money
Very few contractors know basic info about their business
Contractors need to apply the same "craftsman mentality" they have for their trade to build their business
Attending educational sessions is a "literal gold" for growing a business
Becoming a business owner instead of a tradesman
