Building a Commercial Electrical and Solar Business The Right Way

This week Nick Mullins from Wagga Wagga joins us on the podcast to share his story of growing up in a tradie family and now building his own electrical and solar business named after his dad.

Nick shares insightful stories of what an electrical business was like back in the days of no mobile phones, no job management software and everything on paper.

He also talks about the challenges he's faced in balancing personal and business life and how a lack of boundaries in this area ultimately led to divorce.

Not one to let a learning opportunity go to waste, Nick is taking accountability and investing his time and energy into becoming the best version of himself he can be.

Nick shares many words of wisdom with the listeners of this week's episode based on his own lived experiences as well as the training and coaching from the academy.
