Our ‘Why’…
With both of us being born into trade families we have ‘tradie blood’ running in our veins!
We’re very familiar with the gut-busting, money stress, relationship strain and general frustration that can be part of owning and running a trade business. Having worked with tradies in business for the past bunch of years, we’re also acutely aware of the significant opportunity for trade business owners if they get the fundamentals in place.
We are both driven to break some of the negative cycles within our industries and help you, a Tradie In Business, get off the tools and into true business ownership. Business that gives you flexibility, financial stability, family time, fun, future wealth… all the good f’s!
Here are our guiding principles and intentions for Tradies In Business and why we do what we do…
What tradies are saying…
“Nicole is the most phenomenal mentor. Her knowledge, skills, care, kindness and intense understanding of the building industry blows my mind. I couldn’t do life without her. If you want honesty, reliability and a person who will go to bat for you, Nicole is your woman!”
“We have searched high and low for a Builder who was willing to work with our end goal and budget while allowing us to be as involved in the project as we wanted to be. After our Building Consultation with Adam and Nicole we both feel ready to move forward with clear direction toward our next building project.”
“I’ve been following the [Tradies In Business] podcast for a couple of years and received some great insights. I decided to contact Waz and begin working 1-1 with him and so far it has been awesome. Heaps of great business fundamental work combined with custom ideas and systems to implement.
I’m excited to see where we will be in the coming months!”
“Warrick and I got together a couple years years ago to formulate a plan to take my business from a self employed job to a proper trade business. That was 2015 and I haven’t been on the tools since!”
“So far there has been info of basically all the stuff that I have needed and it has really helped in a massive way. For things I couldn’t found out I’ve posted and it’s been a really helpful, quick response. Thanks for all the things you guys done, keep it up.”
“Out of the all the different trade focussed groups I am a part of, Tradies in Business is a stand out winner in regard to content, interaction, support and positivity. I’d recommend anyone operating a trade business (large or small) to be a part of this community, you’ll be surprised how much you can learn while supporting others.”
