IF THERE’S ONE THING TRADIES LOVE... IT’S GETTING THE JOB DONE

But let's be real ...Sometimes we forget that we're not just a bunch of lone wolves out there trying to impress our clients with our mad skills.

First and foremost, let's talk about teamwork. Now, I know some of you might think that working with other people is like herding cats - impossible. But hear me out. When you work as a team, you can get more done in less time. Plus, you don't have to carry the entire weight of the job on your shoulders. Your team can divide and conquer, allowing you to focus on what you do best. And let's face it, who doesn't love getting the job done faster and with less stress?

But teamwork is more than just efficiency. It's about building relationships with your colleagues. When you have a good relationship with your team members, you can communicate more effectively, trust each other more, and create a positive working environment. And who doesn't want to work in a positive environment where everyone has each other's backs? I mean, it beats working with a bunch of sourpusses who couldn't care less about whether you fall off a ladder or not.

The truth is, the key to success in any tradie business is teamwork and toolbox meetings.

Yeah, I know, they sound about as fun as a root canal, but trust me, they're actually pretty important.

Now, let's talk about toolbox meetings. I know, I know, they sound about as fun as watching paint dry. But the truth is, they can be a lifesaver (literally). Toolbox meetings are an opportunity to review safety procedures and potential hazards, which can help prevent accidents and injuries on the job. Plus, it shows your team members that you care about their safety and well being. And who doesn't love a boss who cares about whether you lose a finger or not?

But let's be real, toolbox meetings can be pretty boring. So why not spice things up a bit? Bring some donuts, or maybe some coffee. Heck, bring some beer (just make sure you wait until after the meeting to crack one open). You might be surprised at how much your team members appreciate the gesture. And who knows, maybe they'll actually pay attention to what you're saying instead of scrolling through their phone.

In conclusion, teamwork and toolbox meetings might not be the most exciting part of your job, but they're essential to the success of any tradie business. So, grab a donut, crack open a cold one (after the meeting), and get ready to work together to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Trust me, your team members (and your fingers) will thank you for it.
