With the easy access to information in our modern age, it can seem like there’s almost too much knowledge on how to be successful and achieve your goals.

Where do I start? What’s the best strategy for me? Am I doing enough? Who do I trust? How do I know if I’m on the right track?

Shut up! Get up! And give it a go!

 No, we’re not shouting at you…this happens to be the title of the book written by today’s guest on the show.  As confronting as these words may seem, this is some of the simplest, most practical advice we’ve heard from an expert in ages!

Justin Fankhauser started his locksmithing business with $5000 and a station-wagon – and with no understanding on how to run a business. In ten years TopLock Locksmiths became a seven-figure business.  Sometimes, all you need is to stop analysing, agonising, worrying, testing, forecasting and simply shut up, get up and literally give it a go.  Only then can you truly figure out what’s working and what’s not. What’s best for you, for your business and for your life.

Listen in as Justin Fankhauser, or ‘Fanga’ as he’s affectionately known, shares his story of how he overcame the odds stacked against him, as he trained himself into getting up and making the change he needed to live a successful life.  Justin now helps other tradies achieve success and literally get off the tools via his kickassbusinessonline site.

Tradies In Business

Ft. Nicole And Warrick

Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, builder, motor mechanic, landscaper, tiler, glazier, painter, carpenter, concretor or any of the myriad of trades and contractors that keep the world running, this podcast has been produced with you in mind. Your hosts, Warrick ‘Waz’ Bidwell and Nicole ‘Nic’ Cox, were both born into tradie families and have first hand experience of the gut busting, money stress and pressures that trade businesses can place on their owners and their families! Nic and Waz strongly believe in the opportunity that exists for all tradie business owners to create a flexible, financially secure business for now and for their families’ future. Waz and Nic interview guests on a range of topics such as marketing, finance, human resources, legal issues, mindset, motivation, physical and mental health, industry updates and more! They love a laugh and a good story so tune in for a unique look at how to ‘get off the tools’ and break the cycle of financial hardship and stress to create the trade business you really wanted!
