Our Mission

Empowering trade contractors to build stronger businesses, richer lives, and lasting legacies.

How does this manifest itself? We help trade business owners escape the grind of being owned by their business so they can reclaim time with their families, become better leaders, and ultimately give back — lifting their team members, their peers in their trades, and their communities.

Why do we do this?

Because every contractor and trade business owner deserves the freedom to live, lead, and love beyond the job.

What do you mean? Because a life spent serving others shouldn’t end in burnout, but in impact and legacy. And when independent tradespeople and contractors rise together — sharing wisdom, supporting each other, and giving back — we elevate not just our businesses, but our teams, our families, our communities, and future generations who rely on us.

THE PROBLEM MOST CONTRACTORS KNOW TOO WELL.

You’re expected to:

  • Market like an agency

  • Recruit like HR

  • Lead like a CEO

  • Sell like a pro

  • Train like a franchise

  • Forecast like an analyst

    And still crawl under houses and into attics at 10pm

All while:

  • Fighting unreliable hires

  • Wasting money on marketing

  • Getting hit by negative reviews

  • Losing sleep over payroll

  • Watching national franchises swarm your market

  • Feeling isolated and overwhelmed

    This is the burden of every great trades person and contractor who has ever tried to do it alone.

    Something’s gotta give.

The Trade Federation:

A better way forward.

A nationwide movement where independent contractors:

  • Share what works

  • Fix what’s broken

  • Grow what matters

  • Lift each other higher

  • And build businesses worth passing on

This isn’t a franchise.
This isn't coaching.
This isn't theory.

This is a brotherhood and sisterhood of tradespeople united by a mission:

To rise together — and to leave the trades better than we found them.

Our brand values:

Shared Strength

We rise higher when we rise together.

Generosity of Knowledge

Our lessons become someone else’s shortcuts.

Legacy Over Ego

We build for our families, our teams, our communities, and future generations.

Service Before Self

We show up for each other — the way the trades and contractors have always shown up for their communities.

Honesty & Respect

Straight talk. No games. Respect for the work and the people who do it.

Growth Through Community

Iron sharpens iron. Contractors sharpen contractors.

Freedom Through Systems

Better systems and processes = more life, more freedom, more impact.

Craftsmanship in All We Do

We take pride in our work — and in the work we help others create.
