How to create a 90 day Action Plan

I’ve always been into sport, watching and playing anything i can. Since leaving my rugby days behind i’ve picked up mma (mixed martial arts) and achieved a purple belt in brazilian jiu jitsu and orange belt in karate, although this has more become a couch sport than an active one. My favourite thing to do when i’m out of the off ice is catch up with a mate over a coffee or a beer if i’m not trying to convince you to try my new garage brewed cider i’ve just created. I love to travel, have done the non-stop europe trip and am keen to get back there, as well as the us and asia.

Like most other tradies, you probably left school and started your apprenticeship. You learnt all the theory while practicing your skills with your boss. You finish your final year of your apprenticeship and say goodbye to trade school. In the following years you finally decided to take the leap and start your own business. The problem? you’ve never been taught the basics of running your own business. You probably don’t have any written systems and procedures, an official business plan or future direction and let’s not get into how to fix cash flow issues and increase profit margins. The fact is most tradies don't - the few that do have received training and help from experts.

It's stressful, they say. And almost every tradie i know is making less money than he wants or less than a lot of his customers. Sound familiar? it doesn't have to be like this - there are things you can do to change it (and there are tradies who have 1 or 2 or 3 of those problems licked).

Tradies : when you think of tradies, well-tailored formalwear rarely comes to mind. Instead, picture high-vis and tired hands.
