It's a really good environment and I'm pretty proud of that because I think that's one of my main goals in being in business is to really create that culture."

When Your Team Thrives Your Business Thrives

"I was looking at all these new different things and had all these great ideas. But I wasn't actually applying myself to doing the actual hard work to get it right. I was just skimming the surface on things and then getting frustrated because it wasn't working. And that frustration carried onto the team." Markus Mueller - Outdoor Solutions Queensland

Growing to $3 million turnover by 2020, having started the business In 2010, Markus was frustrated and stressed. The business was losing money, positive change was needed, however Markus made excuses as to why the business wasn't improving. He was distracted, lacking the focus and discipline to implement our 'Success Habits' process required to turn the business around.

Fast track to 2023 Markus is now 100% committed to trusting the process, the excuses have been dropped, replaced with 'inch wide mile deep' focus. Drawing confidence and belief from the Cube Performance Community of like minded business owners, Markus has removed all distractions in order to be great at implementing the 'Success Habits'. From a less is more approach, Markus has reduced clients and turnover, however increased productivity, profit and importantly more fun.

Stop the Excuses and Trust the Process

"We were lost on our numbers, weekends weren't weekends, working Saturday, Sunday, just crazy hours. I was probably looking for an early heart attack, to be honest, just in terms of those crazy stress levels that we were facing every day." Kate & Kieran Moriarty - KPM Plumbing

In 2014 Kate and Kieran started with $100, then they slogged it out for the next six years, in the 'tradie mindset' of being busy saying yes to everyone. Working long hours, no holidays, highly stressed, with limited financial rewards, all of which placed pressure on Kate and Kieran's relationship.

Fast track to 2020 when Kate & Kieran knew they needed to make drastic changes and reached out for support, joining our 'Power Up Coaching Program'. Implementing our processes, getting pushed out of their comfort zone, building team culture, and a focus on 'A-Class' clients. The result, a thriving $3 million business, a thriving family life, and the purchase of their dream property, all of which they never previously thought possible.

Key takeaways from this episode that will transform your business to 'Power Up' to the next level:
If it was easy everyone would do it - to succeed you have to be prepared to get uncomfortable to make positive change.
Why it is important to remember you are not that important - get out of the way.
Having clear processes sets you free.
Less is more - quality over quantity.
Preparation is the key to delivering consistently great results..
How defining your values and desired behaviours removes emotion and stress from potentially difficult situations.
Making your team feel valued increases ownership and accountability.
