YOU BUILT A JOB,
NOT A BUSINESS

Most tradies who call me are working 60+ hour weeks with nothing left at the end of the month. You started this business to have more time and money — yet you have less of both.

And the leads? Flat out one week. Phone goes quiet the next. That feast-or-famine cycle is exhausting — and it’s costing you more than you realise.

I’ve been there. I built and sold two electrical businesses and made every expensive mistake you can make. Trade Assist exists so you don’t have to.

Getting started — these are your walls
01
Working long hours but not seeing real profit at the end of the month
02
Not enough leads — work is up one week, dead quiet the next
03
Guessing your pricing with no structure — losing money on every quote
04
No systems, no processes — just making it up as you go
Already growing — these are your ceiling
05
You’ve got staff but the business still can’t run without you in the room
06
Revenue is growing but profit isn’t — the more you turn over the tighter it feels
07
You know you need to step back from the tools but there’s no system that lets you do it safely

THREE PROGRAMS.
YOUR NEXT LEVEL.

Most electrical business owners reach a point where working harder stops working. Hours go up. Revenue plateaus. Profit disappears into overheads and jobs that should have been charged more. Getting out of that cycle is not about effort — you already have that. It is about installing a specific set of systems in a specific order. Every framework inside Trade Assist was tested in a real electrical business before it was ever taught to a client.

How it works

FROM TOOLS
TO OWNER — 3 STEPS

The same sequence Luke used to build his own electrical businesses. Every step is built to be implemented immediately — not just studied.

1
Step 01
Diagnose
We go deep into your numbers, pricing, margins, and workflow. You see exactly where money is leaking and what to fix first. No guessing. Your specific business, your specific roadmap, from day one.
2
Step 02
Build
Six modules built from real electrical business experience. You implement as you go.
① Accelerator
Business foundations & profit model
② Money Matters
Pricing, margins & financial control
③ Compound Marketing
Visibility system that generates inbound leads
④ Sales Machine
Quote conversion & objection scripts
⑤ Scale Machine
Systems that run without you on the tools
⑥ Dream Team
Hiring, onboarding & team management
3
Step 03
Scale
Systems running. Team operating. Work coming in consistently. You step back from the tools and into real ownership — predictable months, real profit, and your life back on your terms.

Why Trade Assist

US VS.

I’m not a business coach who read some books and decided to help tradies. I’m a licensed electrician who spent 15 years in the trade, built two electrical businesses from the ground up, and sold them both. I’ve been on the tools. I’ve run the quotes. I’ve hired the team. I’ve made every expensive mistake you can make — and I’ve come out the other side knowing exactly what works and what doesn’t.

“I know what it costs to get pricing wrong for two years before you figure it out. I know what the feast-or-famine cycle does to your family, your health, and your confidence. I also know exactly what it looks like when the system works — and that’s what I’ve built Trade Assist to deliver.”

That’s the difference between me and every other business coach targeting tradies. I’ve actually done it. The pricing frameworks, the marketing systems, the sales scripts inside Trade Assist — I built and tested them in my own electrical business before I ever taught them to a client.
