October 25, 2023Lessons In Business #5: Nothing emotional should be in writing, don’t go to court and the difference between a good and excellent job is often 5mins.
Crowie is sharing the key lessons he learnt in business throughout his years as the owner of an electrical company, and in the years of helping others make their sparky business succeed.

It’s a little bit of this and little bit of that and a whole lot of…
Things in writing last forever, be careful what you put in text or email, there’s no tone or texture, it lets the reader determine and assume context.

You lose the human in in the written word.

You need to see both sides to come to a fair and reasonable solution.

Don’t go to court, it’s murky and dangerous territory. Only lawyers benefit.

Excellence often come only from the 5 minutes after the job, the final sweep, wiping the downlight, patting the dog.

Don’t be good, don’t be great, be excellent, the difference is often miniscule.

Crowie uses the word journey a lot this week but we’ll let that go and learn from all the things he’s dealt with on his “path” to business success.

October 21, 2023Lessons In Business #4: Be kind to yourself, the money is made or lost in the office and play the cards in your hand.
Crowie is sharing the key lessons he learnt in business throughout his years as the owner of an electrical company, and in the years of helping others make their sparky business succeed.

It’s a little bit of this and little bit of that and a whole lot of…
Being kind is important, and it applies to you too!

A business needs to be foundational profitable

The tide doesn’t just turn, you need to grab it by the b****

Holidays will give you perspective so treat yourself like an employee

Quotes, schedules, invoices, checklists, price points and so much more come from the office

Office work is best done at 8am with coffee than 10pm with a beer

What’s actually in front of you can be used, not what you want there to be

You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. Thanks, Stones.

September 30, 2023Beers & Basics: Standard vs non-standard installs and do your staff know the difference?
After another shout out to the bakeries in the area the boys get into what is and isn't included. The sauce, if you will. So are you making sure your staff members know what is and isn't included in a job?

In this episode Cam and Crowie talk...
Before multi-tools, the demo chisel.

Little changes make a big difference to the bottom line.

Can you staff recognise the difference in standard v non-standard installs?

How can you train your staff and make sure they are equiped for every job.

Is the information on your job cards correct?

Lack of knowledge and understanding, the incorrect information and assumptions that “it’s the same or similar” can lead to staff using non-standard items on an install. Sometimes it really I just item and that can be rectified but on bigger jobs with more moving parts that can seriously affect your profits. So get it right, make sure your staff get it right and there’ll be no surprises.

September 23, 2023Beers & Basics: The boys enjoy Byron Bays finest, Stone & Wood, and discuss Closing The Day properly.
Cam confirms he cannot rap, or sing. More importantly, he and Crowie talk about closing the day, it’s so important, particularly when you’re feeling like things aren’t going well, or the work isn’t coming to your business.

In this episode Cam and Crowie talk...
Avoiding “woe is me”.

Closing the day can increase the work you have.

You must get back to everything, in some way or another.

You have to communicate with both potential or current customers. People talk, the more you communicate with others the more they’ll communicate about you.

Still hate the word network - we will now be using the term “circle”.

Sometimes you can’t get back to everyone on everything, the day can get away from you BUT you can pass it off or even send a quick message saying you haven’t forgotten can buy you some time.

Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. People appreciate information, when a jobs done, how its tracking, even builders and project managers love an update, sometimes they haven’t had time so you letting them know where you’re up to makes their day easier.

We hope you close off each day better than we did that podcast.
