Stephen’s Story
I had been working in the pest control industry for many years. Technically speaking, I was very competent.
Nevertheless, I knew that, however, good I was, there was a limit to what I could achieve in terms of remuneration.

The first 6-months were frustrating. Shane says his coach knew he was beginning to understand what it took to be a successful businessperson, but it was not until the second 6-month period of his 12-month program that it all came together.

In a good month, I would gross between $4,000 to $5,000. And I wanted to make $10,000 a month and more, but didn’t know how.
After years of moving between working for customers and other builders (and some travelling overseas – something someone might normally do in their mid twenties) I became hugely frustrated with both my financial situation and myself. I absolutely knew that I had the brains, and the ability, to achieve more than this (as I had with sport through my teens and early twenties).

I believe our market will continue growing rapidly as the population grows. The need for homes is growing, but there is not enough room. Existing homes are ageing rapidly, as well as increasing in value and this, in turn, is resulting in an increase in demand for renovation work.
