S01| E12 Meet Wes Shirlaw - a unassuming gentle businessman and owner of SMS Plumbing

Wes is a very unassuming gentle businessman. He loves sailing, family and his business…. Now! Version one of Wes’s business was very much around organic and unplanned growth. He grew because more work came his way. He eventually got BUSY - Buried Under Saying Yes. He had got to a point in business where he was “Sick and tired of being sick and tired”.  I once mentioned to Wes, “Something changes when something changes”. Wes knew he wanted something to change. So Wes set about planning and life he wants to live in, through a Business on Purpose and now, through Version 2 of his business, he is beginning to achieve it. He is enjoying his business now and not just there to endure it anymore.  It is a privilege to work with Wes and SMS Plumbing, a local Newcastle Business, and today in our 'I Decided' conversation we share about life and business transformation in a simple and honest conversation.  Wes is married with two boys and his greatest desire is to be a great husband and father. He also desires to be a great leader to his team at SMS Plumbing and help them achieve their dreams as he pursues his. I hope you enjoy this new episode!
