Running a trade business with your spouse brings a unique set of challenges, and in this episode, Nic talks with Alex Wrigley, one of our Tradiepreneur clients, about exactly that. Alex is the Business Development Director for ACT Certification. Alongside her husband, Scott—the sole licensed certifier at their business—Alex juggles the demands of a growing business, raising a young family, and even taking on home renovations. Together, they tackle the constant demands of business ownership, prioritising family time, and finding ways to make it all work without losing their sanity.
A big part of their success comes from strategic planning and teamwork. For instance, Scott, who used to be available to clients around the clock, found it challenging to take time off. With Alex’s help, they’ve discovered ways to balance work and play. This approach has given them a refreshing break from the everyday chaos of running a business.
Nic and Alex chat about the growing pains and wins of building ACT Certification, which has scaled significantly over the past two years. Through shared experiences, Alex and Nic discuss the highs and lows of blending personal and professional life, underlining the importance of teamwork, and flexibility.
