Ben T (Twizel): Runs a $10M residential construction company working just 4 days per week.

Stu B (Ashburton): Gone from jobs around $500k to ones over $2 million.

Pete L (Auckland): Went from a 15% GP with less than 5% net profit to doing projects at 25% GP.

“Recommend you come along if you’re interested in improving and creating better systems for your business. The main thing that TPB has done for me, has been the ability to create free time. I can go away at 3pm and go to rugby and not have to worry and no phone calls. We’ve gone from jobs that are around $500k to ones over $2 million.”
Stu B, Ashburton

“We went from 15% GP with less than 5% net profit, to doing projects at 25% GP. I bought back 80 hours by hiring the right team – now I work 60 hours instead of 100. When we started, we had no systems and I felt overwhelmed. Now, we’re actually succeeding.”
Pete L, Auckland
