Sunday Skool // Service M8 Demo Session

Sparky Coach ·

2026/02/02

Today Joey takes us through a demo of the job management software Service M8. Of course our purpose here is to educate the people we care about, but it would be amiss of me not to mention that at Sparky Coach we are now approved for Service M8 training and we also offer 1:1 consulting to help get Service M8 firing. Thought: one of the best things you can do is get your job management software absolutely cooking. Enjoy the pod + reach out if you have any questions. Much love xx KeywordsServiceMate,

Sunday Skool // Planning An Admin Day

Sparky Coach ·

2026/01/24

This session is part of our regular Friday “teaching sessions” which we do every week as part of the Sparky Coach paid platform. I had a gut feel that it would be beneficial for everyone so hence me dropping it out here to the general public and punters lololololol…Admin days can be super unproductive. You can book too much in, not enough in, get distracted, end up on the phone down the street (lol), end up on site, pick up conduit for the crew, eat heaps of KFC (IYKYK), or end up binge eating

Bullion

“I’m gonna change my life. Change my plans. Change my Vans. Even start to dance now. Change my thoughts. Change my socks. Change my moods. Even change my pro fighter q for you”// “Bullion” by Millencolin Is this pod we break we take inspiration from the Albert Enstein quote “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result”. We want you to have the best year ever. You want to have the best year ever. We know you know that you want to have the best year

The Hardlyfe Or The Smartlyfe

Sparky Coach ·

2026/01/19

While the title of our pod is based of legendary demigod booger Ryan Hardy's film "The Hardlyfe", it's also based around the following quotes…“To know and not do is not to know” // Goethe“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” OR “smart work beats hard work when hard work doesn’t work smart” 100% working hard is important. Arguably though, in the hierarchy of business, working smart is of more importance. The coming together of hard work + smart work is, in my

Electrical Lords // You’re So Naive Yet So (Part Two)

Sparky Coach ·

2026/01/07

“I’m not saying it was your fault but I know you could’ve done more. You’re so naive yet so” // The KooksIn part 2 of this series (if can you call 2 episodes a series?) we get the big dog (woof) Brad Hibberd on to discuss goals + goal setting. Goal setting is a really interesting topic isn’t it. How do you go about it? Could you have done more? Do you need to do less? Is there a right or wrong way? Do I go big or go home? Do I go big and go home? Do good things come in conservative small goal

Electrical Lords // You’re So Naive Yet So (Part One)

Sparky Coach ·

2026/01/06

“I’m not saying it was your fault, although you could’ve done more. You’re so naive yet so!” // The Kooks Ah the Kooks! Although I don’t know many of their songs, I definitely “froth this song” from The Kooks. “Froth this song” to be said in my son Phoenix’s voice as he loves to say things like that and I’m just trying to be cool and keep up with the young kids lol. Nah just kidding I will always ben cool. Right?!Anyway, coolness (or lack of coolness) aside, today we talk about goal setting. It can

Back on the lounge today we have Brandon Willington from WhereU. Brandon is an absolute legend and I love how he goes about things. We have used (and still use) the WhereU product and honestly, I can’t speak highly enough of it. The growth trajectory of their business is a true testament to their unwavering dedication to product development, hiring a great team + creating (and continually refining) a great customer experience. We chat through his newly built bat cave, growth, numbers, product

Electrical Lords // “Where’s The Money?” Fat Tony Style

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/17

“You see, my wife, she has been most vocal on the subject of the pretzel monies. Where’s the money? When are you going to get the money? Why aren’t you getting the money now? And so on. So please, the money”. -Fat Tony // The Simpsons (Season 8 Episode 11)Ah money, what a glorious subject! The harsh reality is that is if your business is not making money there are two main options: Option 1: Change what you’re doing. Option 2: Stop what you’re doing. But what is good money in an electrical

Electrical Lords // The King Of Wishful Thinking

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/15

If you’re wondering if this is a 1990 Go West reference, then wonder no more. In this pod we chat through the wishful thinking aka “toxic optimism” aka blind faith that is so very easy to adopt in business life. And while we are all for optimism, and seeing the best in people, and seeing a positive future for your business, sometimes burying your head in the sand can come with some serious ramifications. Take these three examples as case in point: Example 1: “I’ll just work harder and then the money

Electrical Lords // Coz Baby Now We’ve Got Bad Blood

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/10

Ah yes Taylor Swift references are alive and well in the Sparky Coach dojo that’s for sure. Today we discuss the harsh reality of your weapon employees leaving to start their own business. Some call it a dagger to the soul, some call it an inevitable part of business journey, some go into protection mode, some get mad, some get sad, some kick out swiftly, some play the Happy Gilmore card and say “I’m sorry baby I didn’t mean that I would love you to stay around”. One thing is for sure though, anyone

Electrical Lords // It’s A Cruel Summer

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/09

Yes the Taylor Swift lyrics are deliberate and no they won’t stop anytime soon. In fact, “don’t stop won’t stop” could soon be our new motto. In todays pod we stop, collaborate and listen (Vanilla Ice style) to the trade gods as the help us plan and prepare for the best December / Jan / Christmas period yet. Wherever you’re at right now it’s important that you slow down, nail the schedule, plan January, get your invoices out, have a holiday, have someone on call, keep all your clients in the loop,

Incase you haven’t heard, the rumours are actually true. Josey Bremner, of Bremner Electrical, can indeed perform a high kick like a ballerina. In all seriousness though, I was super stoked to have Josey on the pod. He is such a humble, honest, down to earth, approachable, fun, light hearted and passionate guy it honestly felt like we could have talked all day. We discuss business, growth, operations managers, admin, working hard, working smart, quoting, process + much much more. What a pleasure it

Electrical Lords // Wait Is There Rice In Fried Rice?

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/03

So this morning in my Wednesday ritual of making fried rice for school lunches, my 6 year old Jasper walked into the kitchen and said “WAIT IS THERE RICE IN FRIED RICE?!?”Bewildered and confused, he actually couldn’t believe it. And here I was thinking the name “fried rice” effortlessly gave all its simple secrets away. But it got me thinking how often we as business owners don’t stop and see the simplicity of running a business. Essentially all we are doing, as sparky business owners, is buying and

Electrical Lords // I Guess It’s Just Another Night...

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/01

Yeh that’s right it’s the chorus from Blink 182’s classic “Carousel” from the 1995 album “Chesire Cat”. On today’s pod we discuss the importance of releasing your back end admin so you can get back to what you do best. And it really doesn’t have to necessarily even be back end admin, it can be any form of work that you can either automate or delegate. Our general rule of thumb is, if you’re working really hard after hours and it’s only on items that “maintain” the business (ie invoicing,

Electrical Lords // But I’ve Got A Blank Space Baby

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/26

Yes you read correctly. Taylor Swift lyrics have entered the chat. Did you know I once touched her hair? True story tbh. I know what you’re thinking too… “Cool story Hansel” lololol. On today’s pod we talk about the importance of having a “blank space” in your schedule. If you (and your team) keep finding the schedule is too jacked, packed and stacked to the rafters you can be unconsciously sailing toward dangerous territory. You can find yourself consistently letting people down, not getting back
