Change is an inevitable factor in business growth. But not everyone likes change... in fact no-one does!

Joining with Stefan Kazakis, is Terry Cayas and Shaun Carey from Quality Tiling Solutions. They will share how they gone from having a business that was 'hand to mouth' and job-to-job — where both owners were always 'on the tools,' to becoming a benchmark tiling business that works on A-Grade jobs with A-Grade clients.

These guys have built an A-Grade team allowing them to both be totally 'off the tools.'

Listen to the discussion on:

- How to build a culture of a high performance team

- The importance of 'saying NO with clarity vs fear'

This is your chance to hear the conversation between the successful trade business owners.

It's evident that when achieving business goals, the good and the bad exist. And in between lies the fun side! On this episode, Brendan Dover of The Drain Man and Matthew Adams from Tradie Wraps share their amazing stories on how they run their businesses.

Tune in as they discuss:

- Growing a business that serves trade and construction based businesses throughout Australia and New Zealand

- Building a culture of 'Attention To Detail'

- The importance of first impressions and sign-writing your vehicles as a way to ATTRACT and KEEP business

- Focusing on what you can control

This is your chance to listen to the conversation and hear the tips and tricks from two seasoned business owners.

If it's hard, would you do it? Stefan kicks off the discussion with a thought-provoking quote, "if being a trade-based business owner was easy, everyone would be doing it."

In this episode, Brendan Dover shares great insights on making his business 'The Drain Man' a success!

Tune in to hear about:

- Managing growth vs leading growth

- Building culture and standards vs just growing a team

- How to stay focused on what we can control

Hear an intense conversation of the how’s and the why’s of Brendan's business; understanding how the good and the bad can coexist within the spectrum of achieving a goal.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome Andrew Phillips to this week’s Great Australian stories in the Making.

Andrew was destined to have a very promising career in the world of AFL in the 80’s. Sadly a degenerative back condition could not stand the rigors of AFL football and his career was cut short.

The former Carlton footballer turned to the world of business and with the same grit, determination and prowess learnt on the field then applied in the board room.

He has spent a lifetime working to create educational opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and is now running The Phillips Brothers Foundation.

James Hatzolos - Director at RT Edgar by Business Benchmark Group

During one of the strangest and toughest years of our lives, we invited Frank Ponissi, the General Manager – Football at Melbourne Storm,

Frank was at the club during the years when they were heavily punished for salary cap breaches - and the fallout that occurred - and how they had to work through those tough periods, yet were able to rebuild and become the powerhouse club they were before.

In fact, they became even better despite all the challenges.

Frank shares much of the wisdom he gained through that experience. The lessons he emphasises always revolve around the importance of high standards, accountability and plain old hard work.

“Hard work will always beat talent when talent doesn’t work hard"
