Work Generation 😩📉 I have no work, what should I do?
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!

R U OK? Day
Today on the Tradies Success Academy Podcast, it's a special episode as we mark R U OK? Day, a day dedicated to reaching out and checking in on our mates. As a business owner who knows the weight of responsibility, I get it. We often don't ask for help ourselves. But sometimes, all it takes is a simple "Are you OK?" to make a world of difference.
In this episode, I share my own experiences and strategies for dealing with stress and anxiety as a business owner. Let's make today count. Reach out to a friend, ask the question, and let's support one another. Because any day is the day to ask, "Are you OK?"
Personal Performance 🏋️♀️🤯 What do you do to stay healthy as a business owner, and how do you find the time?
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.
Admin 😐💻 How do you get better at admin work?
Today, let's get real about why we got into the trades in the first place and how we can make our businesses work better for us.
We all know that sinking feeling when paperwork and admin start to pile up. It's like being stuck in quicksand while your real passion, your trade, calls to you. So, why should we consider a change in our approach?
Tradespeople at Heart: We're craftsmen and women, passionate about our trades. Spending too much time on admin can pull us away from what we truly love doing.
Mastering Your Craft: You're an expert in your trade, no doubt. But handling admin and operations solo can dilute your expertise. We should explore ways to focus on what we do best.
Balancing Act: Juggling between the tools and office work can be seriously stressful. Stress can take a toll on our well-being, affecting everything from exercise and nutrition to our personal relationships. Let's find a way to strike a better balance.
Hidden Opportunities: Often, we get caught up in just getting by, doing the essential tasks. But there's so much untapped potential in our businesses. Let's uncover those opportunities for growth.
Ownership Mentality: Transitioning from a tradesperson to a business owner means trusting our team and letting go of tasks that don't need our personal touch.
Freedom in Operations: Imagine a business that runs smoothly, even when you're not there on-site. It would free you up to meet clients, build relationships, and enjoy life to the fullest.
Steady Profit: Delegating essential tasks doesn't mean sacrificing profit. With a well-structured operation, your business can generate consistent profit year-round, allowing you to enjoy financial stability.
Reclaiming Energy: When admin doesn't overwhelm us, we can bring our full energy and focus to our businesses. We can strategize, deepen client relationships, and lead our teams more effectively.
So, my fellow tradies, it's time to reevaluate how we run our businesses. Let's find ways to delegate and streamline our operations so that we can focus on what truly drives us—the love of our trade. Remember, you're already awesome, but there's always room for growth and improvement! 💪 #TradesLife #BusinessBalance

Managing Overwhelm 😩 What have you leant about managing overwhelm and stress from your trade business?
So what's the game plan when you're swamped? Here's what helped me:
Learn to Say 'No': Sounds simple, but it's tough, right? Especially when business is good. But listen, when you're too busy, your service suffers, and stress levels spike across the board—your team, your admin, and even you. Get clear on what your company does and stick to it.
Automate Where You Can: Tech's a lifesaver. If you can get a system to do it, why not? We guide our Academy members on how to automate tasks all the time. It's not about robots taking jobs; it's about freeing your team for tasks that really matter.
Delegate, Delegate, Delegate: Letting go of some responsibilities was hard for me, but essential. Without it, I was pulled away from what truly mattered—my family, and my well-being. When you delegate, your team feels empowered and your business grows.
Increase Prices: Last resort, but if you're swamped and can't delegate or automate more, it might be time to bump up your rates. Trust me, your time is valuable, and you shouldn't sell yourself short.
And hey, we're all about personal growth here. When work starts cutting into essential aspects of your life, like sleep, nutrition, or relationships, it’s a ripple effect on everyone around you.

Tradie Family Time ❤️ Why weren't you able to switch off and what did you do about it?
The Struggle to Switch Off: You finally clock out, but your mind's still at the job site or in the office. Your family notices. Wouldn't it be nice to actually 'be there' when you're home? Greg's been through that too; he even talked openly about how it affected his family. It's eye-opening stuff.
Wearing Multiple Hats: Ever feel like you're doing the job of ten people? One minute you're the technician, the next you're the marketer, and oh, HR needs attention too. In this episode, Greg lays it out—the reality is, you can't (and shouldn't) do it all.
The Importance of Delegation: Scary as it might seem, handing off tasks can be freeing. Greg got past the fear and so can you. Start small if you must, but start. That's your first step to operational freedom.
The Catalyst: The 4 PM Deadline: What if you set a firm boundary, like being home by 4 PM every day? External pressures sometimes become the triggers for change. Could this be yours?
The Domino Effect of Hiring: Imagine what could happen if you delegated just one of your many roles. Your business could skyrocket, sure. But more than that, you get to be fully present for your family's big and little moments. Worth it, wouldn't you say?
Future vs Present: We get it, you're building a legacy. But what's the point if you're not there to enjoy the present with your loved ones? Greg opens up about this struggle and how he balanced it. You can too.
Practical Tips for Switching Off: And to top it off, we wrap up with tips that can help you truly leave work at work. We're talking real, practical stuff you can start using today.
Freedom Fighters Program: Think of this as your fast-track to less stress, more freedom, and a business that doesn't run you—you run it. It's more than possible; it's doable. With the right guidance, in just a year, you'll be amazed at how far you've come.
Here's the deal: If you're tired of the grind, the constant stress, and missing out on quality time with your family, then something's got to change. You owe it to yourself, your business, and your family to take that first step. And hey, we're here to walk that journey with you, every step of the way. So, are you in?
Business Profit 💸 How do I Become More Profitable From My Trade Business?
𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵: Most trade business owners, maybe like you, don't properly close off their financial month. This leads to a skewed view of profitability and hinders the capacity for strategic decision-making. Taking time to 'close the books' each month allows for a true representation of your business performance.
𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴: One simple but critical change you can make right now is to invoice more regularly. Instead of letting costs accumulate while awaiting payments, invoicing within the same month aligns your cash inflow with your outflows. It provides a clearer picture of your month's profitability and gives you the data you need to make informed decisions.
𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽: It's easy to feel like you're profitable during busy periods but remember, business isn't always booming. It's the slow periods that often eat into your profits. Creating systems for consistent workflow prevents these fluctuating cycles and leads to sustained profitability.
𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁: Your bank balance can be deceiving. To get a true sense of your financial health, you need to delve deeper into your Profit and Loss statement and balance sheet. Understanding these documents helps you to be proactive rather than reactive in your business decisions.
𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: With consistent invoicing and work schedules, you're not just stabilising your profit but creating a more manageable and less stressful business environment. Systematic operations let you focus on growth and innovation, rather than getting bogged down in day-to-day.
𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: One person can't do it all. Learning to delegate responsibilities allows you to focus on high-value tasks that can significantly impact your business positively. It also frees up personal time that can be devoted to self-improvement or family, leading to a more balanced life.
𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲: Feeling overwhelmed? Remember, you don't have to navigate the tricky waters of trade business ownership alone. Reach out to coaches and mentors who can guide you in implementing these fundamental systems, helping you to achieve operational time freedom in the shortest amount of time possible.
If you're hungry for change and keen to break free from the grind, then the Freedom Fighters Program is tailor-made for you. We offer a systematic approach and a community of like-minded business owners all aimed at the same objective: operational time freedom. Take control of your trade business and transform it into the profitable, well-oiled machine it deserves to be.

Work/Life Balance 👷♂️/👨👩👧👧 How do you achieve work-life balance?
The nitty-gritty of work-life balance, family dynamics, and running a trade business without running yourself into the ground.
In our latest episode, my wife Francis and I get real about the balancing act that is life and business. Imagine your business as a construction site; there's a lot of moving parts and you need to manage your load carefully. If you're carrying too many bricks on one shoulder, you're bound to tip over, mate.
We share our own hiccups and hurdles, from early days when work stress felt like an unmanageable renovation project to finally learning the power of clear communication and systems, both in business and at home. Just like you wouldn't build a house without a blueprint, you can't build a balanced life without laying down some ground rules. We tackle what it's like to be both business partners and life partners, and how to keep the scaffolding from collapsing when you're both climbing to the top.
So if you've ever struggled with maintaining the equilibrium between the grindstone and the home front, or even just between different roles within your trade business, this one's a must-listen. You'll come away with a better sense of how to keep your life and your business levelled.
Cheers, cobbers!
Late Payments 🫣 How do you guys manage late payments from clients?
I used to be knee-deep in invoices and quotes, often pushing the late payments issue to the backburner. Bad move, right? Well, we've cracked the code on this one! We're talking strategies for managing those ageing receivables. Imagine them as rusty nails—you don't want 'em lying around.
Kirk and I share how to approach late payments without feeling like you've been hit by a cement mixer, from flipping the conversation to a positive tone to using top-notch automation.
But we're not just stopping at reminders and phone calls. We're also exploring how to make payments as easy as sliding on a new pair of work boots for your clients. Whether it's the timely art of invoicing or making sure your clients know the score before you even set foot on the job site, we've got the insights you need.

How to Build Your Dream Team: The Secret Weapon of Successful Tradies! 👨🔧
We’re talking about the people you bring into your team – the ones who you’re trusting with your business reputation, your livelihood, and yes, even your sanity.

Now, we know you’ve probably had your fair share of hires that didn’t quite gel with your vibe or values. It’s a pain, right?
Not everyone ‘gets’ your approach to the job or shares the same passion for the trade. And you know what? That disconnect can actually throw a massive spanner in the works.
We reckon it’s all about creating an ‘entourage’ in your business – a kick-ass team that gets you, shares your vision, and supercharges the energy of your company.
These are the sort of people you’d happily grab a beer with after a hard day’s graft – not just because they do their job well, but because they’re genuinely good company.
Now, we’re not saying you’ve got to start handing out pink slips left, right, and centre.
It’s about taking the time to really suss out your current crew. Are you all vibing together?
Is everyone pulling in the same direction? Sometimes it’s just about having a chinwag and checking in on how they’re feeling.
And hey, if it turns out that you’re not all on the same page, it might be time for you to help each other find a better fit.You see, when you nail this, when you have a team that’s just as amped about the job as you are – that’s when your business becomes a real force to be reckoned with.You’ll find that chatting about your finances or dealing with any issue becomes way easier.
And we’re sure you’ll see a huge difference in the level of service you can provide, and your customers will too.
So before you go posting that next job ad or settling for someone who’s ‘good enough’, remember what we’ve chatted about here.
Building a top-notch team isn’t just about getting bodies on the job – it’s about finding your tribe.
If this rings true for you and you’re keen to get the ball rolling on creating some serious operational time freedom, we’d love to help.
Just book a call with us at the Tradies Success Academy.
We’re all about helping trade business owners like you create a business that doesn’t just pay the bills, but genuinely lights you up and gives you the freedom you’ve been working your butt off for.
We look forward to chatting with you soon!

Session Highlights:
- We know the struggle, and that’s why we emphasised understanding capacity, particularly your capacity as the managing business owner. No burnout allowed! Consistency and well-being are the names of the game.
- Busy bees, watch out! We chatted about avoiding overwhelm, neglecting existing customers, and delivering anything less than top-quality work. We’re aiming high!
- But wait, there’s more! Neglecting personal life and relationships is a big no-no. We want you to thrive in all aspects of your life, not just in business.

- During the session, you guys shared your challenges and time management struggles. Together, we acknowledged the hurdles and devised strategies for work-life balance.
- And those schedules! Oh, we colour-coded and analysed like pros this week (I hope!!). Work generation, on-site value delivery, ops management, admin tasks, and systems/strategy – all covered!
- The power move? Delegate, delegate, delegate! Don’t do it all yourself. Free up that time to focus on what truly matters to you and your business.
- Capacity management is key! Avoid the overwhelm during busy times and make sure your team is ready to handle anything that comes your way.
- We get it; finding the right folks, like electricians with solar accreditation, might be a challenge, but we believe in you! It’s an investment in your growth and time freedom.
- During the discussions, one member realised the need for a project manager. That’s the spirit! Identify what you need, and let’s make it happen.
- Strict schedules, discipline, and colour-coded awesomeness – that’s how you’ll conquer time management like a pro!
- Remember, superheroes, delegate those tasks and responsibilities! No more inefficiencies when you’ve got a stellar team at your side.
