Grab a cuppa, or go through the coffee drive through, press play and buckle up Tradie business owners! We will cover things in this podcast that don't shy away from the raw honest truth about business. It is hard, it is raw, and we also wanna deliver you all the tips and tricks you need to learn about business too.
IN LOVE: How are you trekking in your relationship as a couple in business? Are you respecting each other? Are you finding it hard to toe the line between business and home? Do you squabble like husband and wife like you do at home when you are in 'work mode?' It is not easy to maintain a relationship and business at the same time. But the relationship should be #1 at all costs! Learn how to improve on this.
IN LIFE - do you have one or is your business taking over? Many couples need permission to actually have a life. The tradie thinks if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid - but you need some semblance of balance too. So how do you strike it?? First you need to be clear about what you want and how you want your life to look both now and into the future. Otherwise - you can just wander aimlessly with no real plans as to what you want your business to provide.

During this chat, we discussed the importance of accurate bookkeeping in business and the benefits of having a trusted advisor like Janelle. Tracey described the vulnerability that comes with handing over your book work and also opening up your financials for someone to come and pick apart, but exaplained how easy that rocess was with Janelle and how it should be with any book keeper you engage.
They emphasized the need for open communication, knowledge, and technology in business, and the value of seeking help and delegating tasks to improve financial management.
