Episode Details

What should you have already done to fill your books for 2026, if you’re running a trade business?

Right now, you’re busy. The phones are ringing, jobs are stacked, and it feels like things are rolling. But every year, the same thing happens for trade businesses who don’t plan ahead ... work drops after January.

In this end-of-year episode, Accounting Coach Erina and Business Coach Luke sit down with Mitch to share the exact actions trade business owners should already be doing to make sure their workflow stays consistent well into 2026.

They break down:

• Why relying on “being busy right now” is risky

• What causes the January–March slowdown for tradies

• Practical tips to protect your cash flow and pipeline

• How to stay booked without burnout or last-minute panic

If you’re a trade business owner who wants certainty, stability, and consistent work next year, this is a must-listen.
Because when it comes to planning your pipeline, it’s better to be late than sorry.
