Painter Business AppFree with an active ABN. Lessons, tools and a room full of painting owners in your pocket.
The Tradies App is free for painting business owners with an active ABN in Australia and New Zealand. Lessons you can watch while a coat goes off, real business tools, and a community of trade owners who have already hit the problem you are on.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Painting Business?
Dead time you never get paid for
Two hours between coats, a wet day that killed the exterior, sitting in the van waiting on the tint. That time is unbilled either way. Right now it goes on scrolling, when it could go on the part of the business you never get to.
Nowhere to ask another painting owner
The Facebook groups are half tradies and half people selling to tradies. Ask what to charge for a two storey exterior and you get abuse, a lowball and someone's affiliate link. You want an answer from an owner who actually did the job.
You have been burned on business courses before
Someone sold you a programme that turned out to be generic small business content with a photo of a ute on the front page. Now every offer looks like that one, and you are not paying to find out again.
Another year of learning it the hard way, when the thing that would have shortened it was sitting free on your phone the whole time.
The Tradies App
Here Is What We Do About It.
The Tradies App is free with an active ABN in Australia and New Zealand. You get lessons, the members community and real business tools in your pocket, so the wet day and the wait between coats turn into progress. It holds a 4.9 App Store rating, and over 9,000 tradies have been trained through the Academy.

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.
