The Trades Titan Coaching Programs™

Your business doesn’t need another pep talk. It needs a battle plan.

The Success Syndicate™ Monthly Telephone Seminar

You’ve built a real business. You’ve worked your tail off, sacrificed weekends, and fought to keep jobs moving and clients happy.

But somewhere between “busy” and “burned out,” the question hits you:“Why am I working harder than ever… but not getting ahead?”

That’s where Private One-to-One Coaching with Rick Nielsen™ comes in.This isn’t rah-rah motivation. This is real-world business coaching built for the trades—by someone who’s spent nearly three decades in the trenches helping contractors, remodelers, painters, roofers, and builders turn chaos into control… and control into profit.

No theory. No corporate consultant nonsense. Just results, clarity, and accountability—delivered straight, without fluff.

Who This Is For
This program is for the trades professional who’s ready to stop “getting by” and start building something that lasts.

If any of these sound like you, you’re in the right place:
✅ You’ve hit a plateau and can’t figure out how to push past it.
✅ You’re buried in work but still short on profit.
✅ You’re sick of “winging it” and want systems that run without you.
✅ You want more freedom, better clients, and predictable income.
✅ You’re tired of motivation-only gurus who’ve never worn work boots.

If that’s you—you’re exactly who this coaching was built for.

What Makes This Coaching Different
Every coaching program out there promises results. Most deliver confusion. I built this around one thing: execution.

You’ll get a mentor who knows how to speak your language, cut through noise, and hand you a clear, proven blueprint to grow your business faster—with fewer mistakes and a hell of a lot less stress.Each call is one-on-one. No groups, no distractions.

We dig into your business, identify what’s holding you back, and fix it in real time.You’ll leave every session with clarity, not questions… and a punch-list that actually moves the needle.

Here’s What We Work On (Customized to You)
Marketing & Lead Generation
– How to stop chasing leads and start attracting qualified clients who pay what you’re worth.
Pricing & Profit Systems
– Finally understand your numbers so every job pays you, not punishes you.
Sales Mastery for Trades Pros – How to sell without “selling.” Build trust fast and close without discounting.
Time, Team & Systems – Get off the job site treadmill. Learn to delegate, lead, and scale.
Mindset & Persistence – The mental toughness side of business. Because the right mentality multiplies every other skill.

Choose Your Coaching Level
No matter where you’re starting, there’s a program designed to meet you where you are—and push you further than you’ve ever gone before.

1) The Power Hour — “Your One-Call Turnaround”
One private 60-minute call with me. No small talk—just laser-focused coaching on your most pressing problem. You’ll send me details ahead of time: your challenges, goals, and where you feel stuck.
When we talk, I’ll dissect your business from the outside in and give you:

✅ A custom Battle Plan Checklist of fixes and action steps
✅ Clear direction on what to do next—not someday
✅ The recording and notes from our call
✅ Access to templates or resources that fit your situation

Perfect for trades pros who need quick clarity and direction—fast. Most clients leave this call saying, “That one conversation just saved me months of wasted time.”

2) The 4-Week Sprint — “From Overwhelm to Organized”
Four one-hour calls across four weeks. This is where we take your business apart, re-engineer it for profit, and rebuild it for growth.
Week 1: Mindset & Direction — Defining your goals, values, and the real reason your business exists.
Week 2: Marketing Systems — Simplify, focus, and fix what’s not converting.
Week 3: Sales & Pricing — Raise prices, close faster, stop losing jobs to low-ballers.
Week 4: Operations & Next Steps — Streamline your workflow and plan your next 90 days.

By the end of four weeks, you’ll have clarity, systems, and the confidence to grow without guessing. It’s fast, focused, and transformational—ideal for trades pros who want momentum now.

3) The 12-Month Domination Program — “Own Your Market. Build Your Legacy.”
This is the elite level—designed for serious business owners who want more than improvement. They want domination.

Two 60-minute calls per month for 12 months, with priority access to me between sessions.Together, we’ll build the mentality, methods, and mechanics (the M3 Blueprint™) to grow your business into a scalable, sellable asset.

Here’s what that means:

✅ Deep-dive strategy and accountability every month
✅Custom marketing and offer positioning that sets you apartLeadership, hiring, and delegation frameworks so you can step back without losing control
✅ Ongoing optimization of every system—from lead gen to follow-up to client retention

This is not “coaching” in the generic sense—it’s partnership.
You get a trusted advisor in your corner all year long, helping you make smarter moves, faster.

Twelve months from now, you won’t just be busier—you’ll be freer, wealthier, and in command.

The Coaching Process
Here’s how simple it is to get started:
Pick your level
— Power Hour, 4-Week Sprint, or 12-Month Domination.
Complete a short intake — so I know exactly where to focus.
We meet privately — by phone or Zoom (your choice).
You execute. I hold you accountable and help you adjust as you go.
You win. Simple as that.

Every call ends with clear next steps, so you’re never left wondering, “Now what?”
