Over the last week or so we've done a few shows and the theme has been very people centric and one of the topics that keeps on coming up is toxic workplaces. It's with that important point in mind that Jamie and I wanted to hop on the podcast today to share our experiences of toxic workplaces, and in the process, help you if you are facing the same problems that we did. By the end of today's show you'll have a better understanding of how we handled our tricky situations and in the process we aim to give you some ideas to help out as well. In the second half of today's show we talk about your company mission statement. Keeping with the theme of being people centric we want to shine a spotlight on the importance of why you do what it is you do! Over the years I've worked with hundreds of businesses and the ones with really strong mission and vision statements that were available and visible for their staff to see daily were the businesses that were flourishing. The businesses that lacked this type of foresight and vision were the businesses that were floundering. === Join our Co-Op for Free Here: https://theelectricianscoop.com/free Follow our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theelectricianscoop/ Connect with Jamie: https://www.instagram.com/proimageelectrical/ Connect with Rob: https://www.instagram.com/rob.brus77/ Visit our site: https://theelectricianscoop.com/

When you meander your way through your days because you're not really sure what you want out of life those days will quickly become weeks, then months and then years. We all know that this is no way to live. Life is meant to be enjoyed and to do that you need to make deliberate decisions. That's what today's show is all about. Today on the show Peter shares his story. Coming from humble beginnings Peter quickly found his feet in his trade and before too long had his own business and was on his way. But on his way to where? And that right there was the problem. The lack of proper mentors and guides meant that there was no real target to aim at and when you shoot at everything you end up hitting nothing. As this podcast evolves and plays out you'll hear Peter share a very personal story. Jamie, myself and all of our audience thank him for being so vulnerable and sharing what he went through. Make sure you stay with today's podcast right to the very end because Peter's story is one of triumph, breakthrough and ultimately redemption.

If you've ever had a call from a customer who has told you that the item you just installed was faulty then you will know the frustration that creates. The install was done right but you now have to go back there and fix something that just isn't your fault. You wear the cost and time for doing it and there is nothing worse than a supplier that just shrugs and says bad luck. On today's show Jamie and Rob share a few of these stories that you will certainly be able to relate to and in the process they will also share their views on exactly what you can do about it. Going back to a job after it is finished because the items you installed are defective is very frustrating. In fact not only does this cost you time, money and opportunity it's down right wrong that suppliers expect you to replace their faulty parts on your coin. Sure there is your reputation and customer service to take care of but it shouldn't be at the expense of your bottom line. As a customer of the supplier you have more rights than you know and sometimes it just takes a couple of well thought out questions to stop them taking advantage of you. If you're having no luck with your suppliers then listen closely as Jamie explains the ones he uses. These companies have guarantees that will cover you in the event something goes wrong and something needs to be replaced. Sometimes this is all you need to operate with more certainty. Remember if you have to go back and fix something just a couple of times per month the cost of that will add up significantly over the next 12-months so you should be doing everything you can to mitigate against these return trips happening to you. === Join our Co-Op for Free Here: https://theelectricianscoop.com/free Follow our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theelectricianscoop/ Connect with Jamie: https://www.instagram.com/proimageelectrical/ Connect with Rob: https://www.instagram.com/rob.brus77/ Visit our site: https://theelectricianscoop.com/

You'll get to learn from their experience, how they handle difficult situations and leave each of these profiles with some handy hints and hacks that you'll be able to use in your business right away.

Understanding what makes your business tick is critical to your success. It's an obvious statement for sure, but do you really have your finger on the pulse of what's causing it to go right, and more importantly, what's causing it to go wrong. On today's show Jamie and Rob share their combined 20+ years of experience to help get you thinking and to begin unpacking what it is that makes your business tick. In order of priority, what is it that you think is the most important thing in your business: Leadership, cashflow, staff or customers? It's a loaded question, there is no doubt about that, and there is no real correct answer, although some answers are more correct than others. Today on the podcast Jamie and Rob explore their top 2 things that you can focus on to accelerate your growth. This is not theory, this is battle tested in the real world in both of their businesses and if you're already doing these things then you'll know they work. If you don't have them as part of your electrical business then your growth might be slower than you expect. Dealing with staff is without a doubt one of the hardest things that a small business owner has to deal with. How do you make difficult decisions? Do you rip the band-aid off or do you have a methodical approach to working with troublesome staff? Getting your emotions under control and giving yourself some space between the decisions and the delivery of those decisions is a simple and very effective way to lead in difficult situations. Developing an understanding of how you react in certain situations is critical to your EQ (emotional intelligence) and will determine how quickly you progress in your life. The goal of today's show is not to solve all of the world's small business problems but instead to spark that conversation within yourself. Being self aware about the problems you face and the solutions you need to implement will help you to close the gap from where you are to where you want to be faster than you ever thought possible. === Join our Co-Op for Free Here: https://theelectricianscoop.com/free Follow our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theelectricianscoop/ Connect with Jamie: https://www.instagram.com/proimageelectrical/ Connect with Rob: https://www.instagram.com/rob.brus77/ Visit our site: https://theelectricianscoop.com/
