When I started my first Company in commercial refrigeration I thought it’d be easy.
I thought, since I was good at my trade, I could make good money and work my own hours…

Little did I know that being good at my trade didn’t make business easy.

It took a ton of money to get started, and working your own hours is fine, until you have to work 16H a day…
The lessons came thick and fast.

I remember my first customer that changed their mind after a heap of materials had been custom fabricated, and I had no way of recouping costs…
I remember my first employee who was difficult to manage, and finding myself working all day – then all night too.

What happened to the easy going idea of working less and making heaps of money?

As the Company grew, other issues started to show…

Winning enough work to keep people busy, employees making costly mistakes, people not paying, HR issues, cash flow – the list goes on.

4 years in, things started to get really tough.

I had a colleague who was doing really well at the time, and he introduced me to an acquaintance that somehow knew all the problems and issues I was experiencing.

I was intrigued.

This acquaintance turned out to be a business coach who had started a number of successful businesses.

He started working with me as a mentor, and in such a short time, the impact he had made dramatically changed the course of my business and life.

Problems that once used to cause huge set-backs, were now getting solved quickly, and stress-free.

My company grew to over 50 staff with $12.5M in revenue per annum, and it was at this point that I started to work with and help other business owners implement the things I had learnt over the years.

After a brief break, and some R&R traveling around Australia with the family, I established Trade Advice with the mission to help other business owners in trades and services achieve higher levels of success.

So we’ve established that most business owners in the trades and services sector start because they are great at what they do in their field.

But as we know, that doesn’t guarantee business success.

The lessons and insight our clients gain from working with us have been obtained from more than a decade of experience in trades and services.

Millions of dollars have been lost, and thousands of hours invested in order to learn what it takes to build a successful business.

By working with Trade Advice, you will shortcut your success by getting direct access to my experience of the “do’s and dont’s” in business.

You’ll be working with someone who has been in your position, and successfully fixed the same challenges you face on a daily basis – not some “consultant” or “advisor” who’s decided to become a business coach after a 6 month certification.

I work exclusively with your business – not with others who would be seen as direct competition in your industry.

In return I ask that you are all-in and complete the tasks we set together when required – we can only help you as much as you are willing to help yourself.
