About
The coach who gets tradie owners off the tools.
I've built the businesses, made the mistakes, and now I help other trade owners skip the hard way.
I'm Luke Tadich, founder of The Tradie Owner. Before any of this, I was a paramedic. Years of turning up on people's worst days teaches you one thing fast: panic solves nothing, and almost every problem is fixable if you stay calm and work the steps in the right order. That's still how I run a business.
I went on to build and scale four trade businesses of my own. I learned hiring, quoting, cash flow and systems the expensive way, by getting them wrong first. I know what it feels like to be flat out, fully booked, and still the one everything runs through. I got the order wrong before I got it right.
It usually comes down to the same few things. A crew that can't be trusted to get it right without him. Quotes done at nine at night. Follow-ups that never happen. Numbers nobody looks at until tax time. Fix them in the right order and the owner gets his evenings and weekends back, with the business still growing.
- Off the toolsThe whole point. A business that runs without you on site, and still grows.
- Australian owners, $1M+Builders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, fencers, roofers and more.
- $100,000 guaranteeCome on as a client and your first paid session finds at least $100k of opportunity, or you get your money back.
Who I work with
Australian trade business owners turning over a million or more who are done being the busiest, most stressed person in their own company. People who want a business that runs without them, pays them properly, and could one day be sold. If that's you, we'll get on well.
What working together looks like
It starts with a free 30-minute strategy session. No kid with a headset reading a script, no warm-up for a $15k program. It's me, you, thirty minutes, and a straight answer. You leave with the blueprint whether or not we ever work together. If you come on as a client, your first paid session is where I find the $100,000, backed by the guarantee. Then we build the crew and the systems that run the job without you.
