The Tradies Pivot: "Older and Wiser"!

Are you over 35 years-of-age, and still working in a physically-demanding trades business?

Working in the trades is a fantastic life, but the simple fact is that the work doesn’t get any easier as you get older. Joints seize up, the back hurts more, and arthritis starts setting in. If you have had a serious injury in the past, then you are probably feeling the on-going effects today.

I can’t fix your health, but I can show you how to earn money into your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond!

“Getting older” is a natural process which we just can’t avoid. The good news is, that when we “get wiser” we can make sensible choices about how to manage our business future.

These sensible choices can include action-planning around:

Scaling back your current “hands on” work (without necessarily dropping income)
Scaling up your business, by working “on” the business, rather than “in” it
Deciding on future income-generating business opportunities
Selling-off and / or exiting your existing business
Getting a job in a related industry.

For a limited time, I am offering an RLFF (Ridiculously Low, Flat Fee) of $999 +GST per month, for 3 months’ mentoring and guidance, as you plan your way towards a new business future. During that time, we will identify what is important to you, what options you have going forward, and how you will get there.

If this makes sense to you, then have a look at my website to see how I help businesses to develop unfair advantages, through entrepreneurial thinking and business insights.

I have over 40 years’ experience, assisting more than 4,500 New Zealand businesses. In addition to being a former licensed business broker, I have run business incubators and high-growth programmes, been a business advisor with the Wellington Regional Chamber of Commerce, and advised businesses through the government’s biz Information programme. I build better, stronger, and smarter businesses, across New Zealand.

Contact me today, and we will set up a time for a one-to-one Zoom call (or a coffee-and-chat for Wellington-based businesses).

(This special RLFF offer is available until 25 December 2023)
