ARE YOU IN THE DRIVERS SEAT OR THE PASSENGER SEAT OF YOUR BUSINESS? We’ve met thousands of trade business owners across every industry all facing similar challenges on a daily basis. Many would say they are in the passenger seat, or worse, in the boot, when it comes to control of their business.
WHERE ARE YOU?

LIFESTYLE TRADIE
Starting your own trade business seemed like the best idea for you in terms of the lifestyle you dreamt about. Being your own boss, making great money, working your own hours, taking holidays on a whim… you’d have time with family & friends, time to fish & look after your health… The reality is, that scenario is far from the one many trade business owners live today. Instead, you work long hours & feel overwhelmed with the relentless pressures of operating your trade business. By the time you finish for a day, there’s no light left to play with the kids. They’re growing up fast! The pace of change around you is exhausting - cutting edge technology, new digital platforms, savvy marketing methods - your head swims thinking of where to start to stay ahead. Your shoulders are heavy with the responsibility of making the right decisions & you’re afraid of losing control. You find yourself asking, ‘Is my life going to be like this forever?’ Sound familiar? If it is, you’re not alone. We speak with thousands of trade business owners in this exact same situation. The thing is, you’re not to blame.
T.A.F.E. taught you the rules & regulations, & your boss taught you how to be a great tradie. Sadly, many of them weren’t the best role models. You need to embrace being a business owner, an entrepreneur & a true leader.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS A WAY FORWARD. A SOLUTION… AND IT’S CALLED LIFESTYLE TRADIE. Lifestyle Tradie offers a powerful & unique education platform specifically for trade business owners. It provides future clarity, the education & know-how to deliver positive results, & support of over 30 years combined trade experience to ensure your success. You’ll be surrounded by a community of like-minded & savvy trade business owners, who are keen to share their knowledge & provide advice, challenge your thinking & be the first to celebrate your wins. You’ll feel energised & inspired to improve your business. You’ll be passionate & excited about your future & as a result a renewed confidence will prevail. Because here’s the thing…
ONLY NEW ACTIONS WILL BRING DIFFERENT RESULTS.
It’s time to stop doing what you’ve always done, delivering the same ordinary results, & start doing something new. Many we know have done exactly that… Dotted amongst these pages you will read from others who were just like you. Overwhelmed, exhausted & longed for a brighter future. Through their membership with Lifestyle Tradie they’ve each achieved amazing results in their business & their life. Many have found a smarter way to operate that has resulted in a streamlined business, a dramatic increase in profit & allowed them a well deserved relaxing holiday. Interestingly, those that made positive change within their business have also experienced a ripple effect within their life. It’s like a shift in focus has had a greater impact to include their health & happiness. Because that’s what it's all about right? Owning a business that you’re proud of, that makes you good money, & allows you the freedom to choose… That’s why we created Lifestyle Tradie - to empower trade business owners to see the ever-changing face of business as an opportunity. Armed with the knowledge, tools & know-how, the future looks exciting once again. Enriching lives!

LIFESTYLE TRADIE
➊
DISCOVER LEADING TRADE BUSINESS PRACTICES FROM SOMEONE WHO’S WALKED THE PATH BEFORE YOU
The old ways of doing business just won’t cut it anymore if you want to stay competitive, make profit & secure a brighter future. The constant evolution of trade specific technology, online marketing platforms, outsourcing & the increasing demands of your customers have completely transformed the business landscape. The truth is, if you think you’ll work longer days & later nights to reap rewards then think again. Hard work does not always equal success. To succeed you need to stop working harder & start working smarter. You have a choice, start from scratch trying things out within your business taking double the time & double the money or, take the smart & easy way
by learning exactly what we’ve done so you can copy, modify & apply to your business. Our trade business was awarded #1 Trade Business in Australia 2015 so we know a thing or two about operating a successful business. Through Lifestyle Tradie you will learn insider secrets & apply ‘best practice’ in efficiency, productivity & profitability all in the pursuit of excellence. The positive result of which improves the life of the business owner (you!) & the team - reduces stress, improves control & overall increases the time available to spend with family & friends. The ultimate reward for any small business owner!

Like taking one.step.at.a.time. Why wait? Lifestyle Tradie can help you fast-track the success you’ve always wanted, & know you can achieve - it’s within your reach. Don’t get left behind by failing to adopt those clever tools & technology that your younger competitors are embracing.

SAVE TIME & MONEY
THANKS TO OUR DONE-FOR-YOU BUSINESS SYSTEMS
Lifestyle Tradie believe that there’s one vital ingredient that keeps all types of trade businesses operating smoothly, & that’s having great systems in place. Not surprisingly, many business owners are often challenged when it comes to systems & leave them until last. The overwhelming feeling of ‘where do I start?’ is the hardest part to overcome. The reality is, we use systems every day in just about every part of our lives. If we understood exactly what they were & how they work, we would achieve positive predictable results every time & save a great deal of time & money. Systems make a complex process super simple through following an easy step-by-step process, which provides you with a streamlined business to help you work smarter, not harder. The result of which is an increase in profit. When your team understand the expectations on them from the business ‘miracles happen’, performance improves, errors are removed & productivity & efficiency increase ten-fold.
➍
Building systems is the vital step to allow for the scalability of your business, a ‘must’ inclusion in a business if you intend to sell for a considerable profit, or if you simply want to make the day-to-day operation easy to control so that you can take regular holidays. It can ONLY happen with great systems.
SO THAT THE RIGHT DECISIONS COME EASY.
To be honest, most of them have never owned their own business, let alone a trade business, no wonder you lack confidence in the decisions you’re making in your business when you second guess their advice. Well, that’s where Lifestyle Tradie is unique, because the owners of Lifestyle Tradie, Andy & Angela Smith, also own
LIFESTYLE TRADIE
Lifestyle Tradie has mastered the systems that apply to all trade businesses. In five easy steps, we will show you how easy it is to start developing systems for your business. Or better yet, cheat with our ‘Ultimate Freedom Flowcharts’, the simplified one page visual gold to perfect any training situation & get your team up to speed quickly & easily.
ELEVATE YOUR BUSINESS CONFIDENCE
Have you been searching for a mentor or a business coach? You may have even had a business coach, but felt like it’s just more of the ‘same’ bland & boring information - so generic in nature you’re left thinking, ‘how do I apply that into my trade business?’ They just don’t ‘get you’.
6
Like releasing a pressure value, the daily stress & chaos of business is replaced with order & control... The business operates like a well-oiled machine. Measures are in place to monitor progress, profitability & results. Now you’re smiling!
& operate their own trade business, just like you. Regardless of your trade, they really understand ‘you’. In fact Andy was crowned NSW Champion Entrepreneur in 2008, & their plumbing business was awarded #1 Trade Business in Australia in 2015. A proud moment to be acknowledged in their dedication to achieve excellence in their business using cutting edge technology, adopting the right simple business model, & applying the latest smart strategies to drive productivity & profit. All knowledge they openly share with you so that you too can achieve the same results.
With Lifestyle Tradie you will feel understood. You will be guided through your challenges by a team that really ‘get you & your business’. The right decisions will come easy. With the support of Lifestyle Tradie you’ll be unstoppable. You’ll discover new courage, belief & confidence you never thought was possible allowing you to step up as the business leader you’ve always wanted to become. They’ve done it for themselves & they’ve helped thousands of other tradies transform their lives. You could be next…
➎
STAY MOTIVATED
THANKS TO AN INSPIRING COMMUNITY OF TRADE BUSINESS OWNERS
Ever felt isolated & alone running your trade business? Not 100% sure what to do in a situation & wish there was some one to talk ‘shop’ with? A like-minded & savvy tradie guy or gal to throw around some ideas? You can’t really talk to your mates at the pub, or your parents. They just don’t understand the industry, nor do they really care about your business the way you do. Even though they have plenty of advice to share (mostly to be ignored)! Every tradie would agree it can be an isolating life, where you stand alone to make the big decisions within your business. Your partner is great support, but they often feel the same way. Lifestyle Tradie is the perfect solution. A safe environment to gain trade specific advice & celebrate your successes - big or small - with friends that actually give a damn. No tall poppy syndrome here, just honest encouragement for positive change & transformation. Finally, a group of tradies & their partners, that speak the same language. You’ll feel like you’ve discovered your second family. Whether you are attending a Lifestyle Tradie LIVE event, be it an R&R Event, a smaller MasterMind meeting, or whether it’s a specific trade question posted on our closed facebook group, you’ll immediately feel energised by the support & inspired by the solid, applicable feedback you’ll receive. What out ‘rocks’ everything, is the collective years of personal hands-on knowledge & experience within the group. All open to share their learnings & provide you with exceptional insight & encouragement to ensure you achieve the success you know you are more than capable of accomplishing. Friends for life!

“Lifestyle Tradie gave us back the passion for business …” The decision to join Lifestyle Tradie was an easy one for us. We absolutely knew that something had to change. Life was really stressful. I knew I was a great tradesman, but on reflection, I knew very little about operating a successful business. We’ve come a long way over the past years working with Andy & Ange. We’ve systemised and streamlined the business and thanks to technology, we’ve gone paperless which has saved a full-time employees wage! The best part is the fact that Lifestyle Tradie gave us back the passion for business. We have been empowered to make decisions about our future instead of being stuck with no place to turn. Our family has a long history of racing cars, with our most recent purchase for my son of a 1967 beetle to fix up together. I love that business allows us the flexibility to enjoy life!

I KNOW WE SAID ONLY 5 REASONS WHY ‘LIFESTYLE TRADIE’ IS RIGHT FOR YOU…
BUT THERE IS A BONUS ONE!
➏ ENERGISED EXPERIENCES What’s the most important thing in your world? For most tradies we speak with they respond with ‘family’. Some say their surfboard or fishing boat... or their Ferrari... but jokes aside, everyone just wants to live a life filled with fun, laughter & happy moments. That’s why Lifestyle Tradie wants to ensure you gain exceptional results within your business (with no regrets) so that you can spend more time with the ‘things’ & the ‘people’ that are most important in your world. Did you notice we’re in the Lifestyle Tradie business? Yes, that’s ‘lifestyle’, not ‘work-aholic’... Agreed that you have to work hard, but work smart… And the most important part is to ENJOY IT! Did you know you are 30% more productive when you‘re happy?

LIFESTYLE TRADIE
That’s why Lifestyle Tradie encourages you to spend quality time away from the business to improve your life perspective. Attending the LIVE events is a great excuse to re-connect with your partner & your second family, re-energise your own battery & re-align your focus having had the chance to relax & re-group. You will quickly learn that we value health & wellbeing as a high priority if you want to improve productivity, decisionmaking & focus. The Lifestyle Tradie community is encouraged to share new energised experiences together; feel invigorated from a kayak paddle to a private yoga session, a physical test at a ‘Tough Bloke Challenge’ or relax while cruising Sydney Harbour, either way, you are guaranteed a good laugh. Energy for your soul!
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN YOU TOLERATE ORDINARY RESULTS BY STAYING IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE? “IF YOU DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS DONE, YOU’LL GET WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS GOTTEN’ Isn’t it time to stop saying, ‘I know what to do. I just have to do it’, yet two years on, things are still the same... No more excuses saying, ‘I’m run off my feet doing 60 hours a week, I don’t have the time!'. It’s not going to get any easier if you believe ‘if I put my head down & work hard that things will work out’. Let me tell you, hard work doesn’t always equal success. Especially if you’re not working on the RIGHT thing... Instead of working harder in your business you need to start working smarter. If you want better results then you have to change what you’re doing & get out of your comfort zone because there is a better way to operate business! Hundreds of tradies have achieved exceptional results through applying what they learnt from Lifestyle Tradie. Now it’s your turn.
You too can experience the exceptional positive results of transformation within your trade business & celebrate the success of creating a better life for you & your family. Lifestyle Tradie will give you a new & fresh perspective on possibilities for you & your business & open your eyes to ideas you may have never discovered on your own. The ultimate goal is exactly that - to provide you with the freedom to choose! If you’re serious about transforming your trade business into one that is both profitable & productive, a business that will support the life you wish to lead, then THIS is your moment of truth.
THIS IS YOUR LIFE, YOUR DECISION, GRAB IT! Read on to learn about the details of what the Lifestyle Tradie membership involves & how you are supported by the team each step of the way.

“My new confidence in making business decisions has helped immensely throughout our journey since joining Lifestyle Tradie, with 30% growth on average year on year" I was never going to settle for an average life but I needed help with direction & clarity in my business. I remember when I first met Andy & learnt about Lifestyle Tradie saying to Em ‘he’s a successful tradie. I can’t wait to get involved’. I have gained so much (& still do) from Andy & Ange. My new confidence in making business decisions has been the catalyst for my results to date. The business has grown on average 30% year on year with four times nett profit. We’ve worked smarter with implementing solid systems & have built a great team culture. To top it off the profitable results have allowed us to secure our financial future through the growth of our property portfolio. I’m living my dream! Thank you Lifestyle Tradie.

LIFESTYLE TRADIE
THE LIFESTYLE TRADIE BUSINESS MODEL IT TAKES MASTERING ALL PIECES OF THE PIE TO RESULT IN A SUCCESSFUL TRADE BUSINESS. Many tradies we speak with have struggled with the growing pains of business, or perhaps have grown only to shrink back in size saying ‘that was all too hard!’. This experience affects confidence, makes you second guess decisions & hence lack direction & focus about the future. You don’t know what to do next. The reason you feel this way is simple: regardless of your years trading, we have found one simple yet fundamental error in operating business has taken place; You’ve got the business model wrong.
that well deserved week away with your loved ones (& still make money), the business relies completely on having the right business model. The right business model is just like the board game trivial pursuit. You need to have successfully answered questions to gain all pieces of the pie to be able to enter the middle & win the game. This is just like business. Too many trade business owners skip the effort to master each piece of the pie, focused only on the middle prize of success. They wonder why they fail.
To result in ultimate freedom - whether you plan to scale, sell (one day) or take
YOUR 4 CORE BUSINESS PRINCIPLES To result in the right business model we need to discuss the four core business principles on which membership with Lifestyle Tradie is built - Platform, Money, Marketing & People - & their three areas within. On the next few pages we will take you deep within each area & showcase examples of what you will discover as a member of Lifestyle Tradie. Once you have embraced this new level of understanding you will feel empowered to make decisions about your business foundations and equipped to bring your vision to life.

MARKETING For many trade business owners effective marketing is a mystery, perhaps you don’t know where to start or you’ve invested in different ideas only to fail in attracting quality A grade customers or worse still, you don’t know if your investment has brought any new customers at all. The reality is, without marketing you don’t have a business. To understand & apply the latest cutting edge ideas, strategies & sales techniques, catering to the ever-demanding customer in both the online & offline world, are critical to your success.
HERE’S A SAMPLE OF WHAT’S COVERED: CORE To succeed in business it is important to have a solid understanding of the core principles of marketing. With this knowledge you will intimately understand your ideal Avatar; how to communicate with them & through what channels.

Why tracking test & measure results, & hence understanding return on investment (ROI) is so important. Habit is not a good enough reason for a business decision.
CUSTOMER SERVICE When studies have shown that nearly 90% of people will pay MORE for great customer service, it seemed only natural to make significant improvements to the experience with the customer. It’s time to smash your sales targets by providing great customer service.
• We reveal the ‘5 Step Buying Decision’ every customer

Why understanding & utilising the V.A.K. principle will increase conversion on your jobs. What is cross selling & up selling & why it can be so profitable if you apply it right.
Mastering Marketing & actively applying your plan is simply a non-negotiable high return activity. If you want more customers, a high turnover with an increase on profit margin, then consistent momentum on this principle is critical to your success.

YOUR TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATION EXCLUSIVE, UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO THE MEMBERS ONLY WEBSITE, MYLIFESTYLETRADIE.COM.AU How often have you wasted endless hours searching the internet to find average & generic content at best, only to end up down a rabbit hole, two hours later, wondering what have I learnt? To assist with speed of an extensive resource of trade specific ideas & applications, Lifestyle Tradie provides one central online location filled to the brim with success tips, strategies, 'how to' videos, templates, checklists, recommendations & useful trade business tools. No more wasted time trolling the internet!
STEP-BY-STEP It’s important to learn the ‘why’ & ‘what’ a particular subject is important, but it’s more valuable to understand the ‘how’. We share plenty of step-bystep templates to help execute an idea into your trade business. Don’t reinvent the wheel wasting time & hard earned money trying to design & implement new business strategies, marketing campaigns & the like, only to see them flop. Simply lean on tried & tested activities that have proven to be successful in many trade businesses around Australia.
TRADE SPECIFIC RESOURCES Gain access to trade specific resources to include videos of our live events whereby internationally renowned speakers present, as well as business systems, templates, checklists designed by us based on Dr. DRiP. Each day we continue to create & the vault of resources expands.
"I’m in Perth & questioned whether Andy & Ange could help me seeing I’m on the west coast & they are on the east coast... but after doing some research I knew they were the right choice... I wanted to be where his business was. They have their own trade business & have actually done it, successfully! Lifestyle Tradie has given me clear direction. I’ve streamlined the business, implemented upfront pricing & gone completely paperless which resulted in an improvement of our cashflow by 438%. I’ve introduced marketing that I never would have considered (both online & offline) that my customers love. We even won an award for ‘Outstanding Customer Service’ from the Kalamunda Chamber of Commerce two years in a row. Thanks Lifestyle Tradie, I feel more confident & in control thanks to you. If you own a trade business (a one man show or have a team working for you), & you’re working late nights, spend little time with your family & you’ve hit a wall & don’t know what to do next, then get in touch with Andy & Ange. I highly recommend them!"

It’s important to stay focused on your most challenging issue/s in your business right now, before you move onto the next. The start of which will be extracted in our ‘Getting Started Meeting’. We believe in the ‘just in time’ education, whereby you learn something based on a current desired need, a true challenge within your business, & hence learn & apply immediately giving this your complete focus.

YOUR SUPPORT FOR SUCCESS ACCESS TO A TEAM THAT BRINGS WITH IT IN EXCESS OF 40 COMBINED YEARS OF TRADE BUSINESS OPERATIONS The Lifestyle Tradie team are hands on within our business on a daily basis. There aren’t many questions we are stumped with when it comes to trade. With a solid understanding of both hands-on components of an operational trade business, ‘on the tools’ & ‘in the office’, questions can come from either the tradie or the admin team. Let’s be honest, male versus female, the questions are so different! The knowledge, encouragement & hence achievement is transferable to empower you to better yourself, your team & hence your business. Only a phone call, email or facebook message away, the team are ready to help you maintain positive momentum in your business.
Want to toss around some ideas & feel its imperative for that ‘other person’ to really understand your situation? Then go no further than having Andy at the other end of the phone. Available to Platinum members, it’s like having ‘yoda in your pocket’.
'GETTING STARTED' MEETING
That lonely & isolated feeling of working by yourself will be gone forever when you are a member of Lifestyle Tradie. You’ll refuel your enthusiasm for your business & feel energised simply by knowing you are a part of something far greater than just ‘yourself’.
If you’re feeling frustrated living in ‘ground-hogs day’ doing the same thing day-in, day-out, struggling to control your escalating stress over money & lack direction on ‘what to do now?’, then look no further than your ‘Getting Started’ Meeting.
The knowledge you gain is exceptional, but knowledge alone is not power. Applied knowledge is the important part. It is for this reason we recommend you include your partner or reach out amongst the members to connect with an accountability partner.
Meet to discuss your key challenges & design a step-by-step 90 Day Success Plan to address them immediately.
Someone that will reciprocate with holding you to your promises every week from what you agreed on your 90 Day Success Plan.
ANDY IS ONLY A CALL AWAY
This session will give you complete clarity & focus on 'what' to do next to overcome your frustrations & your lack of traction.
Need a sounding board for that all important decision?
It’s where the rubber meets the road & magic happens!

“Over $67K of FREE publicity.

They’ve unselfishly given us proven systems that enabled us to find & keep only the best staff, every time.

We’re proud to say we are now a multi-award winning building company & have reaped the rewards with over tens of thousands of dollars in FREE publicity & multiple millions of dollars of ongoing work. This has exploded our exposure & credibility. Thankfully we had systems & the right staff in place to cope with the rapid growth.

“The systems have helped us go completely paperless & reduced the dependency the business has on me. Happy profitable holidays!"
CONTENT RICH POWER HOUR Every second month you can take part in a webinar from the comfort of your own home. You’ll be sent a link to join in where you can see the presenters screen in real time. You will see first hand the business growth strategies & have the opportunity to ask questions & receive immediate solutions whilst on the line.
Once upon a time I thought if I kept getting more guys I’d eventually make money. The tipping point came after a 10day holiday to Hawaii where I had a phone stuck to my head running the business from afar. We returned to a $20K loss. I realised that bigger isn’t necessarily better. I said to myself ‘I need to find a better way!’.
There are already over 48 of these recorded events available on the member website for you to view at a time convenient to you.
I tried a few other coaches but they didn’t understand my trade business, then we found Andy & Ange. A perfect fit.
A sample of the topics covered include:
With the systems shown to us by Lifestyle Tradie we now operate a paperless business & understand our financial position better than ever before. We’ve adopted technology where the elimination of one simple task has saved us 3days a week of time. We’re never going back!
• How to build trust & credibility overnight to gain a marketing edge • What every good accountant should tell you about understanding your monthly reports & don’t
• A step-by-step guide to growing your team • How to stop being a slave to your inbox • 5 steps to handling customer complaints – knowing your rights
• The ABCD Customer Review - how to make sure you’re working for the right customers for a profitable future
• How to become an effective leader & what you can apply immediately to better your business
• Forward forecast your future: empower your decision making & ensure positive progress
• Website mastery - how to maximize your website presence • How to design a professional email newsletter in less than 1 hour using a simple FREE tool
If you miss a webinar, not to worry, they are all recorded & available to you within 24 hours.
On our last family holiday we watched our bank balance grow which allowed us to extend the trip, plus we returned to a smooth & stress-free operation having made money. Finally the business is not completely dependent on me. The systems have allowed us to spend more time with the family doing the things we love. Thanks Lifestyle Tradie!
