Meet Andy and Angela Smith

We’re Andy and Angela Smith, owners of Dr. DRiP Plumbing, co-founders of Lifestyle Tradie and authors of Start Up, Scale Up, Sell Up. Since 2009, we’ve been teaching tradies in business how to start up, scale up and sell up using a proven step-by-step formula we created after hitting rock bottom in business ourselves. We climbed out the hard way, learning our biggest lessons through expensive trial and error.

Think back to why you became a trade business owner in the first place. Is it working out the way you thought it would? Most tradies have aspirations to be their own boss one day. Here’s the thing: TAFE only taught you the rules and regulations. Your first boss only taught you how to swing a hammer. You’ve never been taught how to become a business owner, have you? That’s where Lifestyle Tradie Membership can help.

Our lives were in complete chaos. Now, Andy is completely off the tools. He chooses to spend about one-hour on Dr. DRiP each week. Want to get your life back, too?

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW to see how Lifestyle Tradie changes lives. Whatever stage of the business journey you’re on, our trade-specific membership is about getting your business model right to free up your time to do the things you love.

Will I have to sit through a sales pitch?

The aim of Lifestyle Tradie Live is to provide you with genuine take-home lessons and learnings you can apply in your trade business to drive change and achieve results. We’ve carefully curated an agenda around topics that solve problems many trade business owners face, which typically involves having a broken business model (or no business model). So, it’s important to understand how Lifestyle Tradie and our business model works in fixing this situation. Nobody likes to be sold to — neither do we! You’ll just get a little bit of insight into Lifestyle Tradie.

Can I bring my partner?

Yes! We’d encourage you to come with your partner, if possible. In our experience, it’s helpful if you both participate in the training because you’ll get insight into new ways of doing things you may wish to activate in your trade business immediately. If you come together, you’ll be on the same page about the best next steps, without any hold ups in making it happen.
