Ladies with Tradies - WORKIN' THE TRADE, LIVIN' THE LIFE!
Grab a cuppa, or go through the coffee drive through, press play and buckle up Tradie business owners! We will cover things in this podcast that don't shy away from the raw honest truth about business. It is hard, it is raw, and we also wanna deliver you all the tips and tricks you need to learn about business too.
IN LOVE: How are you trekking in your relationship as a couple in business? Are you respecting each other? Are you finding it hard to toe the line between business and home? Do you squabble like husband and wife like you do at home when you are in 'work mode?' It is not easy to maintain a relationship and business at the same time. But the relationship should be #1 at all costs! Learn how to improve on this.
IN LIFE - do you have one or is your business taking over? Many couples need permission to actually have a life. The tradie thinks if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid - but you need some semblance of balance too. So how do you strike it?? First you need to be clear about what you want and how you want your life to look both now and into the future. Otherwise - you can just wander aimlessly with no real plans as to what you want your business to provide.

TRADEMUTT: ED ROSS CHATS MENTAL HEALTH, LOUD SHIRTS & HAVING CONVERSATIONS
TradeMutt is a social enterprise started by 2 legendary blokes, tradies, Dan & Ed who are chippies on a mission. They created a high vis shirt company with a difference, their product is loud, out there, and most importantly, starts conversations.
TIACS (This Is a Conversation Starter) is their service that connects tradies with counsellors in order to work through issues and challenges people may be facing.
Ladies with Tradies chatted with Ed to find out more about their amazing service, but also to chat through how leaders can put their hands up and start conversations about their own journey with mental health. By doing this as leaders in the trades industry, we will help people see that their struggles are not isolated, in fact, most people are challenged by mental health issues at some stage in their lives.
If you are unsure of how to start conversations, have a listen to this, we cover off on leading by example and sharing your own struggles, and over and above that, you can wear a TradeMutt shirt to trigger a conversation
