This was the day I had my last drink 🍸

September 1st 2025.

So I’ve just ticked over 12 months alcohol free. I’ve done 14 months before, so I’m not new to this.

Will I ever drink again? 🤷🏼‍♀️ No idea.
And Jayson is almost at 7 months grog free 🍻
Did we have problems with alcohol?

Not what people would say is a ‘problem’ in the traditional sense - no.
But do we have issues with moderation?
In absolutely friggen everything.

Because our personalities are ‘all or nothing’.
We work hard and live hard. And we both liked to drink hard too.

What’s been the hardest now we don’t have alcohol? It’s seems silly to say, but now it’s stopping working each day to take guilt free rest.

For us - Alcohol was an ‘end point’ - the end of a day, the end of a project, a mark of celebration 🎉 , something to stop and sit with.

We used it as a full stop. 🛑

But without it, our new challenge is us burning ourselves out because without the booze we have endless amounts of energy, motivation, and we can smash out HUUUGE volumes of work because we feel great and we haven’t taught ourselves to have ‘knock off beers’ without the beers just yet🍻

So this is the next chapter. 📖

Learning ‘guilt free rest’ 😴

And I think it’s gunna be our biggest challenge yet 💪🏼

I friggen LOVE hearing this. 🙌🏻💓

Because honestly, how many of you are sitting there with everyone flat out, wages going out every week, plenty of work on the books and thinking... where the hell is the money? 🤔

And then you start wondering if you’re paying too much in wages, if the boys are actually making you money, if your pricing is wrong, if you need more work... and before long it all just feels too bloody hard.

So you avoid it.

Not because you’re stupid. Not because you “don’t get numbers”.

You just don’t know where to bloody start.

And THIS is what I want for more of you. To actually understand what’s happening with your money, instead of looking at the bank account and hoping you’re doing alright.

You don’t need to become an accountant.

You need to understand YOUR business and what those numbers are trying to tell you.

So start here.

We’ve got a free 5 minute Labour Check that’ll help you look at what your staff are actually costing you, what revenue they need to be generating and whether your labour numbers are sitting where they should be.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’re paying your staff too much, but haven’t really known how the hell to work that out, go do the Labour Check.

Get some bloody clarity around it. 🙌🏻

PSA: Picked up the click & collect, smashed a box of ‘light and crispy’ Shapes - total punishment - sooooo not hitting the spot for the hormonal eating I’m trying to achieve on the way home. 0/10 - do not recommend. Stick with the full strength cheddar shapes girls. Calories for the win. Always. They are enough. And any of you nutters who like chicken crimpy - don’t get me started on those claggy textured s**ts of things. Not today. Follow me for more inspirational life tips. 💪🏼

In a hyper focus doing my best work at a cafe in Darwin - and the dudes behind me - all in their 50s at least - discussing passionately about what the challenges they have financially ahead of them in the next 20-30 years.
Man 1: ‘I could go get a job as a carpenter tomorrow but I don’t wanna work for someone else’
Man 2: ‘yeah that would be the go!’
Man 1: ‘I can go buy and renovate a house for $100k - sell it and make a s**t tonne more than working for someone else!’
Man 3: ‘that’s very true - probably smarter too because we have a lot of time left still, to do stuff like that, but do it a bit easier’
Man 1: ‘I gotta look after my poor mum, I need to be able to do that and I can’t do that working for some di****ad, I need to build up my super, all of it, it’s scary fellas, there’s so much to do’
Silence - from them all for about 40 seconds.
This conversation is EXACTLY why you need a life and a business by design. Hearing men of this vintage literally frightened of what their future holds breaks me 😭
The burden they carry.
It’s so heavy. 🫣
We got you blokes 💓💪🏼

Business of the Month: PDF Plumbing 🏆

10 months ago, these legends came to us with invoices only going out when Deb had to nag that the bank account was getting low. Pete was grinding—long hours, no real handle on where it was all heading. Tax surprises. No cashflow management. No room to actually invest in anything meaningful.

Fast forward to the end of this Financial Year: All bills paid, some in advance, extra money contributed to super, and building their future. No more nagging conversations at home, Deb’s got the time and energy back to focus on running her own successful business.

Here's the thing—Pete didn't just do the tasks. He became the system. Creating a new process with admin support, Sharon, invoicing now goes out every week! Job notes and materials get logged properly.

The schedule that used to live only in Pete's head is finally on the whiteboard, helping to say no to jobs, because burning out helps no one. Prices are up. He knows his numbers now, not just his bank balance.

He's backing his people too — The right-hand man, Pieter, is stepping into leadership with his own goals and coaching sessions. These guys are now recruiting for the right fit, not the fastest fill.

Every single session, this team shows up, takes notes and puts it into action.

They're not looking for a quick fix. They're committed to getting a little bit better every single month.

Congratulations Pete, Deb, Pieter and Sharon!

👊 We can't wait to see what's next.
