  • 225 - [MARKETING] The Seven Essential Systems for Trade Business Success

    What has made you successful so far won’t help you take your business to the next level.


    When you start your business, you feel confident in your skills as a tradesperson but less so in your skills as a businessperson or a salesperson or a leader.
    Your focus is on finding and winning work and doing it well, and keeping busy - rightly so.
    But.. you can’t keep working even harder, can you? 


    Just doing the same stuff, running your business the same way is likely to leave you frustrated, burnt out and not likely to help you take your business to the next level. 


    The next level is systematised, people - capable, smart people - are doing their jobs well, supported by you and by the systems you’ve built in your business. So systematise ! 

    How? Listen to this!

    • 219 - [MANAGE YOUR TEAM] Should You be Worried About The Great Resgination?

      The term 'The Great Resignation' has been floating around the media a lot lately.


      Now, I don't think it's something that the trades industry or even Australia has to worry about for the minute, as it's mainly affecting the US and those who work office jobs there.

      There is, however, a problem that has become more prominent in the trades industry; the issue of employment; of finding good people to work for you - this is presenting as a difficult task.

      Why? How? Listen to this podcast.

    • 218 - [MANAGE YOU] Stop Procrastinating - Get off The Hamster Wheel

      Do you go into work, jump on site, sit down in the office and just let that tidal wave of tasks sweep you up and carry you off?


      If you do, well, firstly it's normal - it's hard not to get caught up in the job and it's not that terrible too: you can run your business like that but it won't progress to where you may want it to go..

      However, you can take control of this form of procrastination (as that is what it is) it's not that hard.
