That's how we've always done it" is a common phrase in the trades, often followed by "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

When Raff and I acquired MJR Plumbing & Gas, we found many of the systems were still old-school. Rather than seeing this as a problem, we viewed it as an opportunity.

This week's newsletter delves into how some of the biggest opportunities in business arise from enhancing what is already functioning well.

Have you ever questioned a process simply because it had always been done that way?

Today we were proud to support our valued clients at Real Property Management for their Pink Ribbon Breakfast fundraiser in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Breast cancer impacts so many women, families and communities across New Zealand, and it’s fantastic to see local businesses coming together to help make a difference.

Well done to the RealPM team for getting behind such an important cause and creating awareness within our community.

If anyone would like to support the fundraiser, you can donate here:

I'm fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, to help fund breast cancer education, research and patient support. Please donate to help the 3,700 Kiwis diagnosed with breast cancer each year in NZ.

When Raff and I started our plumbing and heating business in London, we entered an industry that was heavily male dominated

Over the years, there were several moments where people made assumptions about me before I’d even spoken

Often I was mistaken for admin support
Often people assumed the business decisions sat elsewhere
And occasionally, people said the quiet part out loud

At the time, I rarely reacted

I was too busy building the business, raising children and trying to survive the pressures of entrepreneurship.

But looking back now, I realise those experiences taught me some of the most valuable leadership lessons of my career

This article is not about resentment

It’s about assumptions, resilience and why you should never underestimate someone based on how they look, sound or present themselves

I’ve shared one of those stories below . . .

When Raff and I first started our plumbing and heating business in London, it was just the two of us. Like many small business owners in the early years, we did everything ourselves.
