#2 Choosing the Right Work: Stop Filling Your Diary With Jobs That Hold Your Business Back
Manage episode 521279273 series 2878267
Most tradesmen say “yes” to every job… and then wonder why they’re stressed, skint, overwhelmed, and never actually growing their business.
In this episode, Wayne and Andy dive deep into the reality most lads ignore:
Not all work is good work.
And some jobs are killing your business without you realising.
This episode is a straight-talking breakdown of how to choose the RIGHT work — the jobs that grow your business, increase lifetime value, build recurring revenue, and stop you being a busy fool.
Inside this episode:
🔥 Why saying “yes to everything” is the reason you’re stuck
🔥 The dangerous myth: “Combi swaps are the golden goose”
🔥 Why service & repair work quietly builds the strongest, most profitable businesses
🔥 How “lifetime value” actually works (and how to use it properly)
🔥 Why five boiler installs a month WON’T grow your business long-term
🔥 The difference between “profit now” vs “profit over 10 years”
🔥 The opportunity cost nobody in the heating/plumbing world talks about
🔥 Why working for builders & letting agents is often a trap
🔥 How to choose work that scales your business — not drowns you
🔥 Why customer acquisition beats short-term cash every time
🔥 The mindset shift every tradesman needs if they want to grow
PLUS:
Wayne and Andy share real stories from their own businesses — including walking away from £100k+ a year in “comfortable” work to unlock bigger, better opportunities.
If your diary is full but your business isn’t growing…
If you’re always busy but never ahead…
If you want to scale but can’t find the time…
This episode is a wake-up call.
Start choosing the right work.
Start building the business you actually want.
Stop surviving. Start growing.
