If you’re a business and you want to build content that attracts profitable customers; speak to Noah at Peak Productions or Your Local Business Network - With Mark Ullah for an intro.

Okay, I know I said the last feature, about Grace, was my final feature of the year but I had to sneak this one in too!

Some business stories stick with you. This is one of them!

I recently sat down with Noah from Peak Productions, and what stood out wasn’t just his technical skill with a camera, it was why his work resonates so strongly with trades and construction businesses.

Noah didn’t come into videography from the outside. He came from job sites, a carpentry apprenticeship, and the realities of trade life. That lived experience has become a genuine competitive advantage. It means his clients don’t feel “on show,” don’t need babysitting, and don’t have to translate their own language just to be understood.

When people feel comfortable, they communicate better.

When they communicate better, the content works.

I’ve shared Noah’s full story; from early creative curiosity to building Peak Productions into a fast-growing business in the article below. It’s a great example of how alignment between background, skill, and audience creates momentum without hype.

Worth a read if you work with , , or enjoy honest growth stories.

Ever had a month where you worked harder… and somehow earned less?

I have and it nearly broke me.

I remember running one of my earlier businesses and being flat-out every single day. Phone going, team busy, customers happy. Yet when I looked at the bank account, it didn’t make sense. All that effort, none of the reward.

So I did what most owners do. I tried cutting costs. I tried selling more. I pushed the team harder. I pushed myself harder. And somehow, the harder I went, the less progress I made.

Then it finally clicked. I didn’t have a margin problem. I had a time problem. I didn’t actually know which work made money (high value tasks) and which work quietly drained us (low value tasks).

Once I rebuilt my time habits, everything changed. Profit stabilised. Stress dropped and for the first time in a long time, I could breathe.

Burnout is now the default business model for too many entrepreneurs and it’s completely unsustainable.

That’s why I’m running the Business Owner Workshop | THE TIME AUDIT — Manage Your Time Like a Boss!

🗓 January 12, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM
💥 Completely FREE

This session is designed to help you:

→ Reclaim control of your calendar

→ Stop working 60+ hour weeks

→ Eliminate time-wasters (yes, even the “urgent” ones)

→ Build systems so your business runs smoother than your morning coffee

And yes, we will add a little humour because if you can’t laugh at your own to-do list… it will definitely laugh at you.

If you’re ready to work smarter (not just harder), and finally manage your time like the boss you actually are, then join us.

One of our Advisors - Mark, was recently featured in the Bx Magazine after being nominated as a finalist in the category or Business Advisor & Coach.

Have a read here:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BY7EjLKUw/

Earlier this year I was nominated as a finalist in the category of Business Coach & Advisor at the 2025 Bx Awards. As part of the process, I had a full page article in their Bx Business xClusive Magazine.

I thought I'd share the article as a promise to myself to keep celebrating wins, both big and small. It's also a good way for readers / followers to get a more detailed insight into how I help clients - everyday.

Now clearly, the team at Bx - Business Networking Reimagined got wind of how "EXTREMELY" important I am, so they popped the article on page 31 (of 34).

Most people fall asleep by Page 25 apparently.....

Still, I've heard these magazines are better to read from back to front anyway !!! 😆

A heartfelt, honest and quite frankly, refreshing post from one of our Brisbane advisors Your Local Business Network - With Mark Ullah

Brisbane business owners - can we be honest for a sec?

You’ve got plenty of people telling you how to “scale" or "optimise" or build a growth strategy" right. I bet your inbox in full of offers.

However, I'm betting very few who’ll actually sit down with you, learn your story, and help you grow it properly.

I'm not just talking about business best practice, that's a given. I'm talking about the raw, emotional stuff that motivates you every day - sending your kids to good schools, staying healthy in body and mind, manging work / life relationship, personal struggles, mortgage, debts, holidays, finding time for hobbies, more income for passion projects and more.

You have to think about all of this whilst somehow running a business in a hyper competitive market - building a business that is supposed to pay for everything above.

An advisor that doesn't know you, doesn't know your business.

I’m not a guru. I’m not running group workshops from a Bali retreat where we drink herbal tea and manifest results, but what I am is a 7x business owner, advisor and coach who’s helped dozens of local Brisbane businesses succeed.

Why? Because I know the owners on a much deeper level than most. I invest time in them. Their journey and their aspirations.

No cookie cutter approach. No templated quick-wins. In fact, we don't even get anywhere near the start line until I know you, your motivations, your reason for being in business and why you do what you do.

I don't work with all owners but I try to offer value with every conversation I have.

So, here’s something different for August:

I’m running a free spotlight series where I interview Brisbane business owners and feature their story, not just their product or service.

People buy from people they know, like, and trust so I'll turn your interview into a business feature (FREE PR).

Most marketing completely forgets the person behind the brand.

So, if you are:

👉 Local to Brisbane
👉 Running a legit business
👉 Open to sharing your story…

Then I’d love to feature you.

You’ll get:

✨ A post or article about your story
✨ Exposure to a new audience
✨ A linkable asset you can share proudly
✨ And a real business advisor in your corner

No pitch. No weird upsell. Just human-to-human connection.

🎨 Brisbane Professional Painters: More Than Paint - A Story of Passion, People, and Purpose.

In a city growing as rapidly as Brisbane, it is easy to overlook the stories behind the trades that bring its homes to life. But behind every perfectly painted wall and every meticulously refreshed facade lies a story and for Brisbane Professional Painters, that story is one of heart, heritage, and human connection.

👩❤️👨 Founded by a husband-and-wife team, Fab and his wife Laura. Brisbane Professional Painters is a business deeply rooted in legacy and love. Fab is a third-generation painter, with a grandfather and father who laid the foundation for his passion. His two brothers, also painters, have their own businesses in Byron Bay and Brisbane respectively. Painting runs in their blood - it's not just a job, but a calling.

📍 From Melbourne Roots to Brisbane Dreams

Having started his first painting business at just 21 in Melbourne, Fab already knew the ropes. But it wasn’t until the couple moved to Brisbane that their true vision began to flourish. After a stint working with family, an unexpected career change in the family led to a pivotal moment: the decision to go all in and create a painting company focused not on high-volume builds, but on high-value relationships.

Thus, Brisbane Professional Painters was born - not just out of necessity, but from a clear and intentional choice: to bring a boutique, people-first approach to residential repainting. Fab and Laura weren’t interested in rushing through sites, chasing volume, or navigating the chaos of builder timelines. They wanted to serve local families, homeowners, and residents and to do so with integrity and care.

💕A Business Built on Respect and Heart

From day one, this wasn’t just a painting business. It was a human business. Fab and Laura started out painting side by side. Just the two of them on the tools, in the homes, building real relationships with clients. And those relationships blossomed.

Customers cooked meals for them. Bottles of wine were gifted. Hugs were exchanged at the end of projects. As one homeowner said, “We didn’t want them to leave.”

Their reputation spread fast, one five-star review after another. But what stood out wasn’t just the quality of the paint job. It was their genuine care, their warmth and their respect.

This is a team that doesn’t smoke on-site. That keeps music appropriate. That turns up early, never late. That puts the toilet seat down, keeps things spotless, and knows how to make people feel safe in their own homes, especially during disruptive internal work.

And now, just a short time later, they’ve grown to a team of eight, with plans to grow more although never at the cost of quality or core values.

🎯 What They Believe: Values-Driven, Detail-Focused

At the heart of Brisbane Professional Painters is a commitment to quality and integrity.

1️⃣ “On time is late.” They live by this. Every painter is expected to arrive early, prepped, and ready to work. Time is respected because clients deserve it.

2️⃣ No shortcuts, no compromises. Fab and Laura’s attention to detail is legendary. Whether it’s a hidden fascia board behind a gutter or a corner no one else would see, he paints it properly. “If paint shouldn't be there, it won’t be,” the couple says.

3️⃣ Beauty + functionality. Their work is about more than aesthetics. Paint protects homes, seals water out and ensures longevity. They treat it with the seriousness it deserves.

👥 Why Customers Love Them

Their reviews speak for themselves, but what really sets this team apart is their genuine care. Fab often throws in additional services at no charge, simply because it feels right.

“We’re already here,” he says, “and if doing that little bit more helps, I’ll do it.”

Clients never feel in the dark. Communication is open, honest, and timely. Fab personally keeps clients updated throughout each stage. “No chasing, no wondering, just transparency,” says Laura.

✨They’ve even ging one step further to ensure clients receive an amazing experience; recording short, personalised videos to explain quotes - a small touch that could have a big impact for buyers.

🚀 Growth with Heart

With a growing team of eight, Brisbane Professional Painters is scaling with intention. Every new hire is carefully vetted, not just for skill, but for values. If someone’s late to a video interview, they don’t get a second chance. Reliability matters.

Some team members are employees; others are subcontractors who trained with them first before going independent. But the bond remains strong. “They’ve all stayed with us,” Laura says. “No one’s come and gone. That says everything.”

As they expand, the focus remains on building a values-aligned team, mentoring new painters, and ensuring everyone feels supported, both professionally and personally.

Laura envisions stepping deeper into a team leadership role, helping each team member reach their own goals: financial, personal, or professional.

“We want to know their strengths, their dreams, and how we can help them get there,” she explains.

🎶 The Dream Beyond the Brush

For Fab, the long-term vision includes a return to his first love: music.

“Painting is a passion, but music is my heart,” he says. The goal is to build the business to a point where it runs smoothly, so he can carve out time for his creative work in the studio again. It is not about stepping away but about achieving balance.

“I want to get off the tools, not out of the business. I want to focus on quality, mentoring, and music. That is the dream.”

✨ What They are Creating

Brisbane Professional Painters isn’t just another painting company. It’s a living example of how business can be done differently - with empathy, excellence, and a lot of heart.

They’re proving that:

1. You can be both profitable and principled.
2. You can have high standards and a great lifestyle.
3. You can build a business with your spouse and enjoy it every day.

Whether you’re a homeowner needing a refresh or a painter looking to join a purpose-driven team, keep an eye on this remarkable couple.

Because they’re not just colouring homes. They’re colouring the industry, with kindness, clarity, and character.
