Who you hire matters. When you hire them matters more.

Around the $1M mark, the first job is usually getting the ground crew right and putting a strong leading hand in place... someone who gives you the confidence to step off the tools, both physically and mentally.

You get off the tools… only to bury yourself in scheduling, invoicing, admin and paperwork.

That’s when the right support hire starts to earn their keep.

But this is where a lot of owners jump too far, too fast.

They’re overwhelmed, so they think: “I need Operational Support””

And suddenly they’ve added a six-figure overhead before the business is ready for it.

Sometimes it just makes an expensive problem harder to unwind.

The real journey is: Doing everything → Managing everyone → Leading everyone.

And that transition takes time.

A key operational hire can take 12–18 months to properly develop, hand responsibility over to and set up for success.

So the question isn’t just: Who should I hire next?

It’s: Is the business actually ready for that hire yet?

Get the person right.
Get the timing right.
Build the structure in the right order.

The fear that stops a lot of trades businesses from growing?

“What if I train them, develop them, give them more responsibility… and they leave?”

Wrong question.

Because if you don’t develop them:

❌ They stay underskilled.
❌ They never take real ownership.
❌ They stay dependent on you.
❌ And the good ones eventually leave anyway.

The better play?

✅ Train them properly.
✅ Delegate more responsibility.
✅ Give them ownership of their role.
✅ Show them a future inside the business.

Good people want to grow.

And if they can’t grow with you, they’ll eventually look for somewhere they can.

There’s a great Richard Branson line that sums it up:

“Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t want to.”

Don’t hold people back because you’re scared of losing them.

Build people who are capable of leaving then build a business they want to stay and grow in.

My dad spent more than two decades at the power station in Gladstone.

One employer. More than 20 years.

You don’t hear that story as often anymore.

But long-term loyalty isn’t dead.

At Pravar, Steve our first ever coach has been with us 11.5 years.

Gav’s just ticked over 10.

Danni’s at 8.

That doesn’t happen because our team are loyal for loyalty’s sake.

It happens because they believe in what we’re building.

They’re growing. Learning. Taking on more responsibility. And they can see a future for themselves inside the future of the business.

The moment good people stop seeing where they can go with you, they start wondering where they can grow next.

So if you want great people to stay, don’t just give them a job.

Give them a future they can see themselves in.

The question for every business owner is:

Can your people actually see where they’re going with you?

Most business owners are so busy putting out fires, they never stop to ask where the business is actually going.

Time, Team & Money problems

But if you never step back from the day-to-day, the bigger questions never get asked:

Where are we actually going?
Who are we here to serve?
And what are we really trying to build?

In December 2025, we started Pravar Project ’30... the beginning of the next chapter for Pravar and our five-year vision through to December 2030.

Then in January 2026, we got to work.

Phase 1 was about restructuring and restumping the business for where we want to take it next.

That phase is now largely complete. We had to make some hard decisions along the way, but leadership is doing what is right, not what is easy.

So recently, Dan, Gav and I got together as the leadership group to do three things:

Review Phase 1.
Lock in Phase 2 — Consolidate and Optimise.
And revisit the bigger 2030 vision.

What does Pravar look like in December 2030? What does the team look like? How many clients do we serve? What results are they achieving? What revenue and profitability are we producing? What role does technology play? And what kind of impact do we want Pravar to have on trades business owners and their families?

Because if you want to build something significant, you need somewhere worth aiming at.

Otherwise, you can spend years being incredibly busy… without actually getting where you want to go.

Project ’30 is that for us.

Five years.
A clear direction.
And now, the next phase begins.

I’ll keep sharing the journey as we build it. Follow along if you want to see what it actually takes to build a business for the next chapter — not just the next quarter.

Growth or management. Which one sounds more exciting?

For most tradies, it’s growth. Bigger numbers. Bigger business.

That’s the message everywhere you look... it’s what gets pumped on social, it’s what gets sold as the dream.

But after years of coaching trades business owners, the pattern is always the same. The businesses that actually win aren’t chasing growth. They’re dialed in on the boring stuff.

Knowing your numbers. Nailing your pricing. Understanding your breakeven point. Setting a margin target and actually managing jobs to hit it.

None of that is exciting. All of it is what separates a profitable business from a busy one.

A profitable $2M business beats a $5M business that makes no money. Every time.

You can’t fix a margin issue with growth. You fix it with better management.

A business owner came to us doing $1.6M in revenue. When we pulled his financials, his margin was sitting at 15%... well below where it should have been. On a $1.6M business, that gap works out to $240K left on the table.

No wonder there was chaos in the office. No wonder he was on-site all day then doing admin at night.

It’s not a pipeline problem. It’s not a pricing problem. It’s a margin problem.

The advice was simple: don’t grow. If you can’t manage a business at $1.6M, going to $2M, $2.5M or $3M won’t solve anything. It’ll just multiply the same problems.

Fix the business you’ve got first. Scaling on top of chaos only creates more chaos.

Nathan Wilson was doing $2.2M in turnover with $65K net profit. Four to five guys in the field. No admin support. Every call, every job, every decision landed on him.

He was running on four to six hours of sleep. Waking up at 2am with his laptop still on his face. Not physically broken... emotionally and mentally there.

Something had to change.

Nathan got into coaching, and the shift wasn’t overnight. It started with a simple principle: notice the drift, make the shift. The moment you feel yourself pulling away from where you need to be, you catch it and bring yourself back to center.

He also had to learn to put his own mask on first. Sort himself out before he could sort out the business.

Today, Nathan’s business turns over $6.5M with a team of 32.

This is what happens when you stop trying to carry it all yourself.

The final day of the 2026 Pravar Awards in Port Douglas. 🌴

A boat ride out to the Great Barrier Reef.

Snorkelling. A few laughs. Time to actually enjoy it.

And standing out there, one thing really hit me:

For some of these blokes, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

But years from now, they probably won’t just remember the reef.

They’ll remember who they were there with.

That’s the bit that matters.

Business can be hard. It knocks you around. There’s always another problem to solve, another decision to make, another target to chase.

But the goal was never just to build a bigger business.

It was to build a life you actually get to enjoy along the way.

To create the memories.

To share the wins.

And to do it with good people beside you.

Because in the end, the journey matters just as much as the destination.

Port Douglas. The 2026 Pravar Conference & Awards. 🌴

For the first time, our Lifestyle and Legacy communities came together under one roof.

Round tables. Real conversations. An Awards Night that genuinely meant something.

Different stages of the journey, but one community.

And the theme that kept coming up was simple:

Community.

Men with shared values, shared ambition, shared wins and shared struggles.

But some of the most powerful moments came from the partners.

Hearing them talk about the changes they’ve seen at home.

Better leaders.
Better partners.
Better fathers.
Better men.

Because the real win isn’t just what happens in the business.

It’s what happens at home because the business got better.

That’s what Pravar is all about.
