We went from $12K profit last year to over $270K this year — but more than that, we’re finally working together, with less stress and more time for family.
We were struggling financially. That’s now changed with turnover up 19% in the last 6 months and we are averaging 16% net profit every month.
Revenue is up 11 times. I have gone from working 50 hours a week down to 30…plus I can now take a month off from my business.
I was able to make real changes – fast. I cut my workload by 15-20 hours a week, grew from 2 to 4 plumbers, and tripled my turnover within 8 months.
Turnover went grew $30K to $500K/mth and I went from 80 hour weeks down to 20. I can go away knowing my team will do the right thing
My working week went from 70-75 to 45 and not working weekends. For the first time as a business owner I have work/life balance.
I’m less stressed and the guys get a lot more of my time into how things work. I have freed up 4 hours a day and enjoy much more family time.
I’m enjoying life much more. Sales have grown by 30% and profits are up 60% this year following a similar result last year. Plus more time for hobbies.
We have grown from 6 to 9 staff. Revenue is up 30% and we have made as much profit in the first 6 months of this year than all of last year.
The training and years of interaction we shared helped set me on the right path, shaping the mindset and framework I still rely on today. My business has never been better, and more importantly, I have found a great balance between work and home life, something I do not believe would have been possible without Rueben’s coaching and the invaluable lessons I learned during our time together. Highly recommend.
