Most tradesmen say “yes” to every job… and then wonder why they’re stressed, skint, overwhelmed, and never actually growing their business.

In this episode, Wayne and Andy dive deep into the reality most lads ignore:

Not all work is good work.
And some jobs are killing your business without you realising.

This episode is a straight-talking breakdown of how to choose the RIGHT work — the jobs that grow your business, increase lifetime value, build recurring revenue, and stop you being a busy fool.

Inside this episode:

🔥 Why saying “yes to everything” is the reason you’re stuck
🔥 The dangerous myth: “Combi swaps are the golden goose”
🔥 Why service & repair work quietly builds the strongest, most profitable businesses
🔥 How “lifetime value” actually works (and how to use it properly)
🔥 Why five boiler installs a month WON’T grow your business long-term
🔥 The difference between “profit now” vs “profit over 10 years”
🔥 The opportunity cost nobody in the heating/plumbing world talks about
🔥 Why working for builders & letting agents is often a trap
🔥 How to choose work that scales your business — not drowns you
🔥 Why customer acquisition beats short-term cash every time
🔥 The mindset shift every tradesman needs if they want to grow

PLUS:
Wayne and Andy share real stories from their own businesses — including walking away from £100k+ a year in “comfortable” work to unlock bigger, better opportunities.

If your diary is full but your business isn’t growing…
If you’re always busy but never ahead…
If you want to scale but can’t find the time…

This episode is a wake-up call.

Start choosing the right work.
Start building the business you actually want.
Stop surviving. Start growing.

Off The Tools is officially back — and we’re not messing about.

After five years, hundreds of thousands of downloads, and coaching tradesmen all over the UK, it’s time for a full relaunch. A bigger mission. A stronger team. And a hell of a lot more impact.

In this episode, Wayne brings the listeners up to speed on the evolution of Off The Tools — and then drops the big news:

Andrew Jones (TwinSun Heating) is now officially joining as Lead Coach and Co-Host.

Andy went from zero customers to a systemised, outsourced heating business in under three years, and he’s now bringing that same no-excuses, action-first mindset into Off The Tools.

Inside this relaunch episode:

• Why Off The Tools has outgrown what it started as

• Why trades businesses are falling behind — and how to fix it

• What Andy brings to the table (and why he doesn’t take prisoners)

• The new coaching structure, new tiers, new retreats, and the invite-only elite mastermind

• What’s coming up on the podcast: pricing, software, outsourcing, AI, systems, growth, and real unfiltered talk

• How listeners can directly send questions for Wayne & Andy to answer on future episodes

This is the start of Season 2 — bigger, sharper, and built to help more tradesmen get off the tools and into the life they actually want.

Let’s get to work.

In this straight-talking follow-up episode of the Off The Tools Podcast, Wayne Bettess is joined once again by Andrew Jones — back in the hot seat after their first chat ran well over two hours. This time, it’s not about what Andy’s done, but what’s changed inside him.

They get brutally honest about personal development, pricing mindset, the trap of being "busy", and the real cost of surrounding yourself with the wrong people.

From tackling limiting beliefs, changing the way you price jobs, understanding your true value, and building better habits, this episode is stacked with practical, no-bullshit insights you can actually use.

If you're stuck chasing your tail, undervaluing yourself, or just need a kick up the arse to start taking ownership of your future — this is your wake-up call.
