Having business processes in place allows you the freedom of being able to step away from certain tasks, knowing that they'll be done your way by someone else.

By documenting processes you're creating intellectual property, that;

1. Empowers your staff to carry out tasks the way you want then carried out.
2. Builds an asset into your company, so that it can potentially be acquired down the track.
3. Free you up from tasks that hold you back form more important things.
4. Means the business can operate without you.

This is a great podcast, so tune in, take note and TAKE ACTION!

Series: Outsoucing Cohosts: Warrick and Michaela from 'The Tradies Business Show'

In this series of Toolbox talks, I'm joined by our friends Warrick and Michaela from The Tradies Business Show, where we're talking about Outsourcing.

I asked them to join me on this series because they both formally ran a company called Tradies VA, which was a business that helped trade based organisations leverage the use of assistants, so that the business owners could free themselves up to take care of the more important areas of their businesses.

Waz and Michaela both a wealth of knowledge in this field and I'm sure you'll learn a bunch from what they have to say.

Episode 1: Discovering what your business strengths are within your own business.

In this episode, Waz, Michaela and I talk about the power of discovering what your own strengths are within your business, so you can spend your time doing what you're good at and not all the other things that can be delegated. So often, we find ourselves wasting time in our own business, but doing things that others can do so much better. Some examples of this might be:

• ANSWERING PHONES!!!
• Accounting
• Invoicing
• Following up late payments
• Estimating

This is a great podcast that drives home the point that if you waste time doing what you're not great at, you're doing more damage than good.

Coming up in following episodes:

TSS024 - Developing processes that can replace you in your own business. TSS025 - Building a power remote team

You can reach Warrick and Michaela at Tradies Business Show

Ever dreamed about running a huge company?

Everyone starts somewhere and in this episode of Toolbox Talks, I'm taking with Allan Furguson from Omega Group, who owns and runs one of Australia's largest plumbing, electrical and HVAC companies?

This is a seriously successful business that turns tens of millions every year and has over 50 trucks on the road in Sydney. Allan shares his amazingly humble story with me, telling me about where he started in the trades working for his father, then diving into his own business and growing that into the empire that it is today.

If you want to know what it takes to build and run a mammoth organisation, then you're going to love this podcast.

There are a lot of unethical business owners out there.

In this episode, I'm talking about an experience that I am currently going through with an IT company in Neutral Bay, Sydney, who have proven themselves to be not only unprofessional, but also straight up destructive to my business and some of my clients.

The reason I share this story is so that I can hopefully help many of you NOT get into the same situation yourselves, because at the end of the day, it was completely avoidable and it's caused a ridiculous amount much unnecessary grief.

The key takeaway's from this podcast are:

• Don't go into business with someone, just because they're mates.
• Always insist on terms and conditions.
• Always have a contract in place.
• Stand up for what you believe.
• Go legal if you have to.

This scenario is not yet over, so I'll keep you posted on proceedings as they update.

Series: Cubify Your Business

Cohost: Matt Jones from Cube Consulting

Episode 2: Pricing for Profit

Back in episode 1, we spoke about Business Mindset. You can check it out here.

In this episode, we're talking 'Pricing for Profit', which basically means understanding your overheads. All too often I deal with tradespeople that don't have an understanding of what their true costs are. Have you taken into consideration overheads like phone bills, vehicles, insurances, electricity, petrol, tools, material, etc?

In this episode, Matt and I discuss what's involved in getting your pricing right so that you're making a living from what you're doing.

Enjoy.

Back in episode TSS006, when I interviewed Clinton from TradiePad, in the final question when I asked him who he'd like to see on the show, he said asked Matt Jones.

The funny thing about that answer is that I am not the only Matt Jones that's located in Sydney and works with Tradespeople, so when I asked Clinton to clarify who he was referring tom he said "Both of you".

So in response to that, I asked Clinton to Interview me on my show, which was episode TSS010 (Click here to listen). Now in this episode, we're speaking with Matt Jones from Cube Consulting about his journey from humble plumber to business coach extraordinaire.

Hope you enjoy!

As business owners, it's easy to fall into the trap of over complicating things. Sometimes we think that our customers want to hear what we want to hear, however it's often far from the truth.

Websites are no different. Simplifying your website is often the first step in working towards improving your conversions. In this episode I dive a little deeper into how set about to making that journey better for you and your visitors.

Women play such a vital part in the running of many trade based businesses.

Often our wives and girlfriends are placed in a position where they are basically forced to run the entire business for their partners, regardless of their lack of experience in not only the trade, but also the tasks that they're being asked to perform.

• Bookkeeping
• Invoicing
• Quoting
• Inbound Marketing
• Outbound Marketing
• Payroll
• HR, etc, etc

In this podcast, Matt speaks with Kiri Tringham from KT Business Solutions about how she runs her business, how she helps run her husbands and how balances her children with her work life.

This is a fantastic podcast that we've timed to coincide with International Womens Day. Thank you to all the wonderful ladies out there that truly are the backbone of many businesses. You fly more flags than we ever could and on behalf of men everywhere, I want to say thanks for everything you do and we appreciate you.
