Can you believe the financial year descends upon us like the looming second coming of the electrical gods? 

Nah, us neither. 

We discuss the importance of raising your rates, how to do it, who needs to know, and the best way to tell them. 

Also a bit of an EOFY discussion too. 

Pls keep in mind that we are not accountants but we do hold Cert 3’s in Electrotechnology, which we believe places us above most people in life. 

Get it where you get ya pods.

Ok ok so this one hits home to everyone who has ever employed an admin. 

If you’re underprepared it can be very stressful. A complete bloodbath of double handling and micro managing you may say.

On the other hand if you wait for everything to be perfect you will never do anything.

Either way though, you need some excellent people in the office aka the engine room. 

No wonder our first commandment is “The Money Is Made Or Lost In The Office”.

This week we have the pleasure of having the self appointed and self anointed "Ford Lord" back on the lounge again.

We chat through credit cards, working for builders, contracts, variations, the pros and cons of doing cost plus work, back costing, and our mutual hate for the coaching industry lol. 

I always love and value the time I get to spend talking to Fordy and we are so stoked to bring these lounge room chats to your ears via online sorcery. 

Pls light a candle to the electrical gods or risk eternal damnation. 

Get it where you get ya pods.

Have you ever lost your business mojo Austin Powers style? 

Maybe it was something to do with money, or staff, or health, or family, or too much work, or not enough work, or clients, or someone hassling a price, or the product which was once good is not so good anymore (omg). . 

Whatever the case may be, how do you effectively show up every day with your mojo in tact? Is there some secret trade / electrical god source you can tap into? 

In the latest episode we explore how to get your mojo back, how to keep it, and how to roll into mojo town (population you) for the foreseeable future.

Ahhh average staff members. We have all been there haven’t we? 

On this episode we break down the true cost of keeping an average staff member in and around your business. 

Get it where you get your pods! 

Enjoy xx 

This week on the lounge we have a very special guest, Tom Ryan! 

Tommy runs Ryelec, an automation company based out of what he calls “Gods Country” aka the Sutherland Shire. 

We delve into how it started, how it’s going, all things automation, making mistakes, and much more. 

As usual, we try to gain maximum enlightenment and please the electrical gods. 

May the trade gods bless you in all your endeavours.

Yoooo I’ll Tell You What I Want What I Really Really Want!!!! 

If you’re wondering if this is a Spice Girls reference, may your internal feelings be confirmed and validated! 

We went to the streets (aka phone + text messages) and asked your ideal clients what they want to see from you. 

What do they value? What do they expect? What do they need? What do they really really want? 

You would be surprised however simple the answers actually are. 

May the trade gods bless you in all your endeavours.
