Time Code/Show Notes
0.26 Intro: Business coach expert Nick Psaila speaks one-on-one with Veronica from Ultima Building Group.
2.30 From a humble carpentry business to recognising a need to deliver more than partner trades, Ultima evolved into a full-fledged building company.
Transparent honesty and `client first’ mentality drives their every action.
4.00 Energy and fun flows through the story of Ultima. Essentially, the desire to deliver an exceptional client experience increases their enjoyment of the business – and success naturally follows.
5.20 Veronica explains the importance of ‘home’ and what it means to her family.
The experience of dealing with a small builder creates excitement from slab pour to landscaping. It’s individual. It’s fun.
It’s far from the ethos of the hair-tearing, churn-`em-out multi-national building companies.
6.20 Challenges are always present – from planning and preparation to handover – it always takes a huge amount of work to keep everyone – staff and clients – feeling positive. Particularly in the last two years. Communication is key.
8.20 Veronica talks about the systems and processes that increased their business and grew the company three-fold.
10.20 The decision to seek out a good business coach is an easy one when you hear how effectively Ultima integrated new ideas and actioned new systems.
It’s an investment in ‘the business’, a valuable deep dive into the mindset of how you see your professional self. In the building game, there’s a lot of competition and supply chain issues – and virtually no one ready to help you.
14.00 The end goal for Veronica and Chris is to have the company running like clockwork 24-7, without the need to ‘hover’ over jobs or be onsite all the time.
15.29 If you are reticent to pursue business coaching, Veronica offers up some questions…. What is it that you think you need to change – and how do you plan on doing that by yourself…
18.30 If you’d like to know how a business coach can improve the way you do things and grow your business, ask@upcoach.com.au for more information on today’s podcast.
