Tradies Success Podcast | Business Podcast For Trade Business Owners, Electricians, Plumbers, Build

G'day, mates! We know you're legends in your trade, but when it comes to running a business, things can get as messy as a worksite on a rainy day. This is why maintaining an optimum state of health & mindset are crucial:

1. Prioritise Your Health: Your business won't thrive if you're not in top shape. We get it. That's why we emphasise the importance of staying healthy. When you're at your best physically and mentally, you make better decisions, and your business benefits.

2. Mindfulness Matters: One of our mates here swears by mindfulness. It's not some hocus-pocus; psychologists recommend it too. Slowing down, being present, and practicing mindfulness can help you manage stress, make clearer decisions, and improve your overall well-being.

3. Discipline and Control: As a business owner, you've got the freedom to make choices, but it's easy to lose control. We're all about discipline and control. Schedule time for your health and well-being, and then stick to it. The productivity boost you get from taking care of yourself will blow your mind.

4. Fill Your Bucket First: Ever heard of the bucket analogy? You need to fill your own bucket before you can fill others'. Taking care of yourself, physically and mentally, is like putting on your own oxygen mask first. It's not selfish; it's necessary to support your team and loved ones effectively.

5. Time Well Spent: When you invest time in your health and well-being, it's not an expense—it's an investment. The increased energy, better decisions, and improved relationships will pay dividends in your business and personal life.

At the Tradies Success Academy, we're not just about making you better tradies; we're about making you better business owners and better people. Your journey to operational time freedom starts here. Don't miss out on the chance to grow faster than ever before, both in life and in business. Let's elevate the perception of tradespeople together.

It's time to gear up because December is right around the corner. But hold on, we're not talking about getting those abs shredded or going on a weight loss train. We're in the business of bulking up, and here's why:

1. Capacity for Success: December can be a goldmine for tradies and service-based businesses, but only if you've got the capacity to handle the workload. More jobs mean more revenue, but it also means more stress if you're not prepared.

2. Lessons from the Trenches: We've been there, done that, and made every mistake in the book during December. We've learned the hard way, and now we're sharing our wisdom to help you avoid the costly blunders we made in the past.

3. The Freedom Fighters Program: Our founder, Greg Allan, has been in the trenches, and he's emerged with battle scars and a program that can change your business life. The Freedom Fighters Program is designed to keep you from making the same costly mistakes he did, helping you grow with confidence and awareness.

4. A Genuine Mission: We're not just another coaching company. Our mission was born from the genuine need to help tradies navigate the tricky path of business growth. We know the pain, the impact on personal fulfilment, and the toll it takes on your sleep, nutrition, exercise, relationships, and mindset.

5. Real Results: Greg's trade business won Service Business of the Year and Electrician of the Year, all while he was working just 90 minutes per fortnight in that business. His journey is proof that operational time freedom is possible, and you can achieve it too.

6. A Team of Experts: We're not flying solo here. We've got a team of expert coaches who've got your back. They bring real-world experience to the table, helping you navigate the twists and turns of business growth.

7. The Key to Personal Fulfilment: We get it. Business growth can take a toll on your personal life. But it doesn't have to be that way. With the right strategies and support, you can achieve operational time freedom and regain control over your life.

8. Elevating the Perception of Tradespeople: We're not just about business; we're about changing the way people see tradies. We want to elevate your status, your business, and your life.

So, here's the bottom line, folks. December is coming, and it's your chance to shine. But you need to be prepared. It's time to prioritise your capacity, avoid costly mistakes, and take advantage of the opportunities that this busy period offers. Don't wait until it's too late. Start now, and let's make this December your best one yet. See you on the other side!

G'day, mates! Today, we're tackling a common challenge faced by tradies: the dreaded "no work" situation. I've been there, and it's a rollercoaster of emotions. But fear not, because I've got some insights to help you navigate these rough waters.

Picture this: you're working your butt off, back-to-back jobs, and it feels like you're on top of the world. Business is booming, right? But then, out of nowhere, the work dries up, and you're left scratching your head, wondering, "What just happened?"

The thing is, this rollercoaster ride is a common occurrence in the trade business world. It's like a cycle of feast and famine. And the root cause? Well, it often comes down to a lack of balance and systems in your business.

You see, when you're in the thick of it, frantically trying to keep up with all the work, you can lose sight of the bigger picture. Your focus shifts to the immediate tasks at hand, and that's where the trouble begins.

You stop quoting new jobs, you stop following up on quotes, and you might not pay as much attention to inquiries. It's a classic case of being too reactive. You're so busy on the tools that you neglect the essential task of bringing in new work.

And that's when the quiet periods hit. You've been so absorbed in the workload that you've inadvertently created a gap in your pipeline. You're not generating new leads because you stopped actively seeking them.

So, what's the solution? Consistency and balance in your business. You need systems in place to manage the workload effectively. This way, you can avoid those wild fluctuations from "crazy busy" to "total drought."

If you've got any questions or need advice, shoot me a message and I will be happy to help!

Keep up the hard work, and I'll catch you next time. Cheers!

You know, as someone who's killer at their trade, you've got the skills, the grit, and the passion. But let's get real—being a top-notch tradesperson doesn't always translate to being a business whiz. That's exactly where we come in to guide you on this thrilling journey toward operational freedom!

In today's episode, we dive deep into the art of effective communication. We all know generating work is the lifeblood of any trade business, but how do you actually connect with those high-value clients? Should you be firing off emails, buzzing phones, or perhaps slide into those DMs on social media? Trust us, it's not one-size-fits-all. We discuss everything from the urgency of phone calls, the immediacy of text messages, to the neglected power of emails.

For instance, we delve into real-life scenarios like the Thai Cave rescue operation as an analogy for understanding how to adapt and use different communication tools in high-pressure, high-stakes environments. Because let's be honest, growing your trade business can sometimes feel like you're navigating through a dark cave with unexpected turns!

The episode also uncovers the value of understanding your client's preferences, and we shed light on some innovative approaches that have worked for us. Because believe it or not, there's a method to the madness!

So, buckle up and tune in. Let's go beyond just being awesome at our trades and aim for operational freedom in business. Reduce overwhelm, grow faster than ever, and most importantly, take charge of your life!
