What now? What next? Insights into Australia's tertiary education sector
In this episode of the podcast Claire speaks with Emeritus Prof. Erica Smith on the state of apprenticeships in Australia and how a raft of recent reforms are privileging traditional male trades over apprenticeships/traineeships in feminised industries.Claire and Erica discuss the recent Strategic Review of the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System and the government's interim response to the review.Erica has appeared on the podcast previously (episode 68) with Prof. Andrew Norton.In this current episode, Erica also discusses some of her recent research (noting that her yet-to-be published paper focuses on the Strategic Review of the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System):Smith, E.

The Albanese government has told the university sector it has to slash foreign students by 53,000 places by next year. The universities say this will financially devastate them, but the government has pledged to halve net migration by next year, and something has to give. Plus, this week, members of the militant CFMEU hit the streets in major capitals to protest the Government's decision to place the controversial union into administration.

In this episode, Jonathan Jay is joined by entrepreneur and dealmaker, Andrew Norton. Andrew shares insights into his recent, successful deals, how he funded them, how he found them, and the stark contrast between his first challenging deal and his recent multi-million-pound triumph. Andrew talks about the challenges he faced and how he overcame them, gaining valuable lessons that have shaped his recent acquisitions. He shares the way he secures funding, which has been crucial to the success of his deals. Key Highlights [01:42] What Andrew has done in the world of acquisitions [04:11] The people with the most success are the people with the best deal flow [05:25] How to streamline due diligence [08:40] How buying a larger business has changed Andrew's strategies [09:55] The number of acquisitions to do in a year [11:43] How long it took Andrew to get a deal done [14:13] Lessons learned from raising finances [16:21] Benefits of understanding the staffing arrangements Notable Quotes You don't have to agree on a price to agree heads the terms of a deal. You can agree on a mechanism for deciding the price you both agree on. There are always cost savings to bind in there. Once you're running the businesses, there are always bits you can change, tweak, and improve. Understanding the staffing arrangements and ensuring you have someone to run that business. Because again, if you don't get caught up in it, that will be vital to anyone. Resources Buying a business is only the start, which is why we are now teaching what happens next on the Mastermind program.

This week is one of our regular highlights episodes where we look back at some of the insights and interesting conversations I've had over the most recent episodes. I talk with Andrew Norton, who bought five businesses in just over 15 months. Starting out in the childcare sector, Andrew acquired several training businesses, and his consolidated group now trains childcare providers. Next, I speak with Gavin Page, who since joining Mastermind has bought nine businesses. In fact, he was crowned deal maker of the year at our annual awards and dinner in December last year. Next up is Darren Jacobs, who since joining my business buying courses, bought 25 businesses and sold four of them, and has an ambitious target to do 100 deals. And lastly, I talk with Alexis Kingsbury, about the importance of introducing processes into business acquisitions. We look at some examples of where and how processes have benefited their owners and how processes can create efficiencies and reduce headcount. Key Highlights [01:04] Andrew Norton (Childcare and training) [09:50] Gavin Page (Print sector) [20:17] Find out about Jonathan's lawyer, John Andrews [20:54] Darren Jacobs (Hair care) [30:05] Alexis Kingbury (Implementing processes to create efficiencies) Key Quotes Andrew Norton I thought, you know what, I'm going to target all three sectors and see what comes back. And it was the training sector that got the most interesting results. The training sector can ride more waves, I think, than some of the others in times of recession. We've diversified really nicely. We're merging the procurement and supply in with the engineering and manufacturing - so we've got similar customer bases, and higher level training courses. So we were getting many more responses to the letters we send out, just because we've already made an acquisition, even though it was a tiny one. Gavin Page When you're in your twenties, you've got nothing to lose. But when you're in your fifties, and you have a family, you have a responsibility to others. Get your pen out, get your computer out and do something. Type some letters. That's all it was initially. Without sending those letters, you've not got a chance, you know? Sure, you make mistakes obviously, and you think, oh, I should have done that better afterwards. But you refine your script, you refine the questions over time. Darren Jacobs In comparison to buying an IT business, buying a hair salon was ridiculously easy. One of the assumptions I made was this is a recession proof sector. When these doors open, we are going to have a flood of customers door to get their haircut. Alexis Kingbury Once you see it and you shine that spotlight, a lot of these things become obvious. And I would say that 99.9% of businesses don't have this. You have to be adding value on an ongoing basis. One way to do that is by providing the operating system that actually generates the results. Putting those processes in place with the sales team was what helped us to get results from building the sales.

5 business acquisitions in 15 months In this episode, Jonathan Jay talks with Andrew Norton, who has successfully bought five businesses in the last 15 months. Andrew shares his experiences and the strategies he used to make the five acquisitions, and talks about why he prefers large deals to small ones. He also explains the advantages of buying a business rather than starting one from scratch, as well as the challenges of financing a business that doesn't have fixed physical assets. And he offers valuable advice for anyone considering making their first acquisition. Key Highlights [03:37] A brief background of how Andrew met Jonathan [08:07] How Andrew's training program aimed at benefiting employees ended up benefiting third parties [10:37] Selling a business at a low point in its growth [12:32] How the Covid-19 pandemic gave Andrew time to readjust [13:14] What triggered Andrew to acquire a business rather than a startup [14:29] Reasons one should buy a business instead of starting one [15:45] Sequence of events that led to him joining the Fasttrack Program [16:11] Feeling before joining the Fasttrack Program [19:31] Andrew's first acquisition [22:39] Financing a business that does not have fixed physical assets [28:35] Worries that new dealmakers have in their first acquisition [30:42] Andrew's plan for the coming years [32:49] Advice to those who have not yet made their first acquisition [34:56] Advantages of joining the Fasttrack Program Notable Quotes I thought it was really fun. I like that. And I could see some benefits and really grow quickly. Obviously, I was hungry to achieve. It's so much better when you've got skilled people in their roles from the outset. So our first acquisition was our smallest and funnily enough, and it's not intentionally this way; every acquisition we've made has got bigger each time. We were probably too worried at the start that there were certain things that we really wanted to clarify early. I think it's all about action, isn't it? And the rest of the journey is about action as well. So yeah, the first bit of action. It gave me confidence.

Andrew Norton is a nerd. He freely admits that he's been nerding out on cars since he was a kid in Iowa. His first love was the bold and beautiful Mustangs and Cobras built by Caroll Shelby in the 1960s. Peter Brock was a childhood hero, and Norton often dreamed of the day he would find a dusty Daytona Coupe hiding in a neighbor's barn. By 16 years old, Norton, now living in California, would spend afternoons driving his 1965 Mustang "looking for cool Fords." When he spied an orange and white Bronco, his passion for Shelby's told him he was looking at something special. Fascinated by the bold paint and the "Baja by Stroppe" sticker on its fender, Norton went directly to his local library to research what he had just found. A full-fledged obsession followed, and soon Norton was flying to Texas to buy his first (worn-out) Stroppe Bronco. A web page dedicated to Baja Broncos (early days of the internet) followed to share information with the community. Norton launched Baja Broncos Unlimited and has become a leading source on Stroppe Broncos. He and Todd Zuercher raced a Stroppe Bronco in the NORRA Mexican 1000 for over a decade. They joined Big Oly in the Slow Baja Safari Class this year.
