Coaching Success: How Habib Built His Million-Dollar Trade Business Without Burning Out!
In this episode, Tas sits down with Habib from Final Touch Carpentry & Construction in Sydney to unpack his journey from starting a painting business in his mum’s spare bedroom to running a $2.4M company with a lean, high-performing team.
Habib shares how he began solo in 2017, training his first apprentice and gradually building a team while learning the importance of structure, delegation, and focus.
He opens up about the challenges of wearing every hat: sales, operations, admin, and scheduling and how over time he learned to identify the “biggest domino” that would free his time and accelerate growth.
The conversation dives into leadership, coaching, and scaling a business strategically.
Habib explains how focusing on operational improvement, empowering his team to make decisions, and eliminating distractions allowed him to step out of the day-to-day while still maintaining control and quality.
They also explore time management, setting realistic goals, and why deep focus on the right projects creates more momentum than spreading yourself too thin.
The episode wraps with insights on clarity, intentional growth, and how coaching and developing your team can transform both the business and your own experience of running it.
