Coming from a marketing background could actually be a useful advantage when moving into a trade. A lot of skilled tradespeople are excellent at their work but don't necessarily have the time or experience to market themselves effectively.

Understanding things like local search, customer reviews, lead generation, social media and a professional website can help a new trades business stand out from competitors. The practical trade skills still need to come first, but strong marketing can make it easier to build a steady pipeline of customers.

I'd focus on learning the trade properly while using the existing marketing experience to build the business gradually. That combination could be quite valuable in the long run.
