CEO @ Trade Mastermind | BBC Apprentice Winner Building the world’s fastest growing education business, to educate, support & empower trade & construction businesses to scale up.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Joseph Valente discusses his strategic expansion into the UK market, aiming to replicate the success of his eight-figure education business for trade and construction companies. Valente, who has established the largest business of its kind globally, is now applying his operating model across all industries in the United Kingdom.

Valente highlights a significant challenge facing UK businesses, noting that out of 5.4 million companies, only 9% achieve revenues exceeding £1 million annually. He posits that a lack of fundamental business infrastructure is a primary reason for this stagnation.

“If your business doesn’t reach seven figures, you’ll never have: enough cash flow, enough profit, enough people, enough systems to step back from the day-to-day and actually own enjoy the benefits of a well structured business.”

The Skill vs. Business Acumen Divide

Joseph Valente argues that many entrepreneurs falter not due to a lack of skill in their trade, but because they lack the foundational knowledge required to operate a business effectively. This is the core problem his new venture, Valente Consulting, intends to address.

“Most people don’t fail because they’re bad at what they do. They fail because they started a business based on a skill, not on knowing how to run a company,” Valente states in his post. His initiative aims to bridge this gap by providing the necessary framework for sustainable growth.

Recruiting Elite Talent for Scaled Impact

Valente is actively seeking experienced coaches, consultants, and trainers to join his expanding operation. He is looking for individuals who excel in their respective fields but may not wish to undertake the complexities of building and managing their own educational businesses, particularly concerning customer acquisition and operational management.

A “Done-For-You” Partnership Model

The proposition for these potential partners is a comprehensive, done-for-you delivery system. Valente emphasizes that he already possesses the established infrastructure, including systems, processes, a physical campus, and a delivery engine, which have been proven successful through his Trade Mastermind program.

“This is done-for-you delivery, backed by a proven machine.”

According to Valente, this model allows expert coaches and consultants to scale their impact significantly without the typical entrepreneurial burdens. He is inviting interested parties to connect directly via direct message to explore partnership opportunities.

“Right now, I’m looking for: elite coaches, experienced consultants, credible trainers. People who are exceptional at what they do but don’t want to build their own education business, don’t have customer acquisition systems, and don’t want the operational headache.”

Valente concludes his post with a forward-looking statement, indicating that this expansion marks just the beginning of his ambitious plans for business growth and impact within the UK.
