Mitch Copp is your classic trades business owner story – working long hours, managing a small team, juggling jobs, admin at night, until burnout kicked in.

Mitch knew something had to give. That’s when he swapped long hours for long-term thinking – and started the real work: becoming a business owner.

Fast forward to today – Mitch leads a thriving team, has moved out of his home office and into a full functioning warehouse, and is setting the pace in high-end residential construction.

Because as Mitch discovered, it’s not just about getting off the tools – it’s about building something that works without you.

In this episode you’ll learn:
🔨 You can’t grow if you’re stuck on the tools every day.
🔨 Saying no to work is sometimes the smartest move you’ll make.
🔨 Leadership isn’t natural – it’s built through discomfort, practice, and accountability.
🔨 Working from home is convenient – until it holds your business back.
🔨 Burnout isn’t a badge of honour, it’s a business model failing.
🔨 Habits, not hacks, are what changes how you lead and live.
