"We want this podcast to be somewhere people can come to listen to how we are doing it. We want our journeys to inspire our listeners into creating their own businesses, growing what they already have or answering questions they may have on starting and building their own business and achieving their goals."
Neither of the brothers are business experts and they feel they are still only at the start of their journeys, but they've done the hard part.....getting started!
Listen in every week for the brothers discussing topics such as financing, finding and keeping customers, social media, sacrifice, time management and plenty of other useful talks whatever industry you are already in or thinking of getting started in.
"We are totally new to podcasting but really want our stories to bring value to you so we would really appreciate your questions, comments and constructive feedback. We are always looking to improve and develop our skill sets and we look forward to sharing our journeys."
Episode 12 was recorded on Thursday 14th November '19 with special guest Stuart Bratt, one of the founders of Tough Enough To Care.
We ask Stu about his journey, what he set out to achieve and what his aim is for the future of the charitable organisation aiming to help men, talk more!
A great episode that Andy and I both really enjoyed recording and there is plenty of valuable take aways for you all too.
Thanks for listening
Hi and thanks for listening. In this episode we are talking about how we deal with stress and make sure that we get enough rest to continue to push and grow our businesses.

Our 10th episode :-)
More great stories and tips form us about our day to day business, how we are planning growth and how our week has been.
After an unplanned short break, we are back to it. A quick update on what we have been upto and as usual some awesome business tips and info about how our businesses are going with an insight into our last few weeks.
Episode 8 is the first where, rather than a specific topic, we are talking openly and honestly about our week as business owners.
The highs and lows, the challenges and the learning points.
We hope you enjoy it.
In episode 7 we discuss the growth of our businesses, how we achieved it and how we measure it. There are also lots of ways to nurture organic growth and you'll hear us talking through what we have done to achieve this.
Mental toughness is something every business owner needs and we spend some time chatting about what it means to us and how we have used it to face challenges and push our business forward.
Emotion in business is something that we don't always think about or plan for....how you deal with your emotions as a business owner can have a huge effect on your business and its growth.
What do we do on a daily basis to promote what we do? A few tips from us and how we promote our businesses.
Our 5th weekly episode covers confidence and upselling.
Recorded after a long, busy day for both of us, so a little shorter than usual, we hit on two really important parts of business.
Confidence can be learned and improved upon - its an important trait for any business owner.
Being good at upselling can really explode the growth of your business.
We really hope that this weeks episode is of help and thanks for listening.

Another 2 great topics being discussed in this episode. Finance; how we have financed our businesses and how we keep track of the day to day stuff as well as plan for future growth from a financial side.
Personal development is a hugely important thing and something Andy and I are both very passionate about. We hope this episode brings you some real value.
This week we are talking about drive (how do we find the drive to keep pushing on and working to grow our businesses) and social media (how have we been using social media to grow our customer base and promote our businesses)
This week we are talking about the sacrifices you have to make when you start your own business and how we find our customers.
Both are huge topics, but in this episode we chat about our own personal experiences and detail some of the sacrifices we have made and how we balance life in general and running a business.
We also touch on how we find our customers and grow the work we get from existing customers.
We hope you find some value in this podcast and would love to hear your feedback.
Our first episode is an introduction to who we are, what we have built and an overview of our plans for the podcast.
Nothing is scripted and we hope you find the relaxed style we have aimed for to be informative but also easy to listen to.
