Business is a team sport. To grow your success and scale your business requires a team to get there together. And, although cliche, there is no doubt that “teamwork makes the dream work”, so it’s critical you get this right.
Just adding people and labour to the an unstructured and ill prepared business, will quickly crush you with the weight of endless support for your team members.

System & Process – ‘Recipes to Repeat‘
Many people use the phrase “systems and processes” rather loosely. It’s a rooky mistake.
Travis Reading takes you through this powerful module of implementation.
There is only one system… your business! Your business “system” then consists of many processes.
In a Tradie business, the vast majority of processes are, and will always remain human processes. Human processes are simply a “recipe” to show somebody how to complete a task optimally.
You will master creating and improving processes, and building your business system. This will greatly leverage your ability to scale and grow your business predictably.
Recipes to Repeat… for success
| Introduction Video – Recipes for Success | |
