The week this is about
Sound Like Your Carpentry Business?
Business help never fits around a site day
You are on the frame by seven and packing up at four. Reading a business book is not happening, and a webinar at two in the afternoon is a joke when you are on a roof. Everything useful seems built for people at a desk.
The only people you talk to are on your site
Your world is the builder, the crew and the supplier rep. None of them will tell you what a fair square rate is, how they handled a bad debt, or whether they pay their leading hand above award. You are working out everything alone.
You are not ready to spend money on help yet
Cash is tight, a builder is late paying, and the idea of signing up for a programme feels like another bill. So you keep putting the business side off and stay exactly where you are for another season.
Another season of working it out alone is another season of the same rates, the same builders and the same Sunday night quoting.

Three Steps, Starting Tonight.

The Crew, the daily Q&A, the starter courses and a chat with Greg. Not a preview with the useful parts locked.
Go deeper when it is worth it
The full Learning Hub, the live programmes and Greg sit behind it when you want them. Nothing switches off if you never take them.
Why you get me
I built the coaching company everyone else runs. Then I took it apart.
Most coaching companies work the same way. You enquire, you get a salesperson. You sign up, you get a coach who has never run a trade business.
I know, because I built one. I grew the Academy to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches. It ran without me.
And I hated it. The bigger it got, the further I was from the owners I started it for.
What gets me up in the morning is getting under the hood of a trade business and helping the owner hit their goals in the least time possible.
So I restructured the whole thing.
When you enquire, you speak to me. If you are accepted into the Academy, you work with me. Directly.
And with agentic AI, the results come sooner than most owners can imagine.
Places are limited. I only take on owners who are committed and ready to do the work.
Who you will be talking to
I built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with more than 1,950+ five-star reviews.
A general manager runs it day to day. I live in Byron Bay.
I have trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
What AI actually changes
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing your computer work, and you paying for all of it.
You stay with your customers and your team. Agents run the office your way.
The old way
Grow, then hire people to do the computer work.
Every new customer brought more quoting, invoicing, chasing, scheduling and reporting.
So you hired people to do it. Office staff, bookkeepers, admin.
None of it is billable, and every hire costs wages, sick leave and another person to manage.
Profit and time only grew as fast as you could add people.
The new way
Keep the human work. Give everything else to agents.
Your people do what only people can do: looking after customers and leading the team.
Everything else goes to agents that do it your way, instantly, any time it is needed.
No sick leave. No capacity problems. They scale as far as the business does.
So the only people you add are the ones facing your customers and your team.
A human-centred business that runs on systems you build in minutes. Nobody still running the old way can compete with it.
