Tanya Hill · Coach to the Trades
Sound familiar?
Busy all day, every day. So why does it still feel this hard?
- Jobs keep coming in, but there's nothing left at the end of the month
- You're pulled in every direction, making decisions non-stop
- You're the one who loses sleep when a job goes sideways
- New systems and longer hours help for a minute, then you're back to square one
- No one on site sees how much you're carrying
- You can't quite see what's really going on across the whole business
It's rarely just a time problem, a team problem or even a money problem. When you can't see the whole business at once, you're guessing. That's where the stress comes from.
What's stopping you going from A to B?
Where you are now, where you want to be, what's in the way, and the actions for this week. This is what a first session looks like.
How I work
We get it out of your head and in front of you.
I don't start with big strategies or complicated plans. We put your cash, your team, your time and how it all connects on paper, so you can actually see it.
This is a real first-session map: where the business is now, where the owner wants to be, what's in the way, and the actions for this week. Tap it to see it full size.
What we work on
Four things that decide how your business feels
Once you can see these clearly, decisions get easier and the business starts to feel like yours again.
Cash
- What's coming in
- What's going out
- What's left as profit
Team
- Clear roles
- Real capacity
- Accountability
Time
- Where it goes
- What matters
- What drains you
Clients
- The right work
- At the right price
- With the right fit

Cut cost of sales by 6%, add £72k profit
Same amount of work, same fixed costs. Bringing cost of sales from 78% to 72% takes profit from 9% to 15%.
A real example
More profit from the same work
On £1.2m of work already won, cost of sales was running at 78%. Bringing it down to 72%, by focusing only on labour and materials, takes profit from £108k (9%) to £180k (15%).
Same amount of work. Same fixed costs. £72,000 more profit.

What colour are you?
Take my Behaviour Colour Profile and find out how you naturally lead, decide and communicate, what drains you, and how to get the best out of the people around you. I use it to get to know new clients.
About me
I've been exactly where you are.
I've run a tradie business, felt the pressure, and made the same mistakes before I became a coach. So I know what it's like when the work's there but the business still feels like it's running you.
I started Built Like a Boss in 2015 and I've coached with ActionCOACH UK for 11 years.

Questions
Before you book
Is the first call really free?
Yes. It's a free 30-minute call with no obligation. Message me on WhatsApp or call 07714 541600 to book it.
Who do you work with?
Owners of established trade and construction businesses who have plenty of work but not enough profit, time or headspace. Many of my clients turn over seven figures.
I'm not a numbers person. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We start by getting everything out of your head and onto paper, often as a drawing, so you can see what's going on without wading through spreadsheets.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. My coaching programmes come with ActionCOACH's money-back guarantee, as long as you follow the systems and complete the actions we agree. Ask me for the details on our call.
What is the Colour Profile?
A free 12-question quiz based on Thomas Erikson's Surrounded by Idiots. It shows your natural behaviour colour and how you work, lead and communicate. Take it here.
Where are you based?
Billericay, Essex.
