This week’s key takeaway:
How business coaching helped to double sales, with Gene Finn
Episode intro:
Gene Finn is a shining example of what is possible if you embrace business coaching. The main man at Finn’s Bodyworks in Launceston started working with Ben a couple of years ago, and he hasn’t looked back.
He’s managed to increase his profitability, double his sales, and here’s the big one: he’s working less hard! By introducing proper process, Gene has earned the right to detach himself from some of the day to day of the business.
It’s no exaggeration to say this man is living a dream that many never manage to. If you want to learn how to work ‘on' your business rather than just working ‘in’ your business, this is the show for you.

-Gene’s long history in the industry
-How Tasmania body shops are much more connected these days
