Plumbing
★★★★★

“We reached out to Tamika to help us transition from working in the business to working on the business, all while chasing a better work/life balance to focus on our young family. She helped us implement practical systems, build structure, and most importantly, set boundaries that finally brought an end to burnout. With Tamika, you will feel like you are her only client.”

“Working with Tamika has been the best investment we have made in our business. Her expertise has been invaluable in helping us refine our pricing strategy, understand our numbers, set up crucial systems, and evaluate our business model. We no longer feel like we are figuring it out alone.”

Plumbing
★★★★★

“Tamika is a breath of fresh air and a spreadsheet guru! We own a plumbing company and felt like we were just stumbling through. As a husband-and-wife team, having external support has been incredibly helpful, not just for our business, but for us personally as well. Investing in ourselves and our business has been the best decision we have made.”

“We have worked with a few tradie training programs, but none of them have managed to deliver the systems and the understanding Tamika brought to us from the beginning. We are starting this financial year feeling that after 5 years we finally know what we are doing and what we can and cannot do in order to generate profit.”

“Working with her has been an absolute game-changer for our business. What really sets Tamika apart is her ability to break down complex concepts into easy to understand lessons, whether it is pricing, marketing strategies or operational advice. She genuinely cares and wants you to succeed.”

What tradie wives say

TradieWives is the Facebook community for women in trade businesses, and Tamika is its coaching industry partner. These are members' own posts and comments about her, as they appeared in the group.

TradieWives Facebook post by Verity H., TradieWives admin: She's alright I suppose. Just kidding, she's great. We love her and her work which is exactly why we invited her to be our coaching industry partner here at TradieWives. She's also got a great sense of humour, which comes in very handy when working with us. You'd be in great hands.
TradieWives Facebook post by an anonymous member: We have been feeling fed up and sick of working so hard, but just making ends meet. Posting anonymous as we have family in the group and are private people. Husband and I have a trade business but have been feeling financially stressed. We decided on recommendation of many tradies wives to engage Tamika Johnston to help us get the business on track. I was sceptical and worried about paying for a “coach” but OMG are we glad we did! We had our first session last week and within a 1 hour session she worked out our target hourly rate, to be on track to make minimum $100,000 profit next year. I have started using her spreadsheet to quote now and my confidence in pricing has gone through the roof! She has also helped me a few times with bouncing off customer requests. Anyone who is hesitant, do not hold off starting this work on your business. She is worth her weight in gold. We are working with her for the next 3 months, and for once I am really excited about our business trajectory.
TradieWives Facebook post by Sarah R.: Cannot believe 6 weeks ago we had 25c in our account. Worried about why the phone calls slowed, hubby out all day but no income to show. Then along came a comment from Tamika Johnston in here & we got talking. We are only early stages but we are having alot more enquiries & sales from my Facebook posts without paying. There's money in our account & we have just landed our biggest yet electrical job to fill January. It's been extremely refreshing & reassuring having someone in our corner that knows the nitty gritty of what & where we have gone wrong. Cannot wait to not be so stressed out all the time.
TradieWives Facebook post by Megyn H.: I want to take a moment in all of my chaos to thank Tamika Johnston from Tamika Johnston biz/construction coaching. I have honestly never experienced this level of support and guidance from a coach, and we've spent $$$$ on many, oh so many, and none have ever come close. As many of us experience, my hubby is often too busy working IN the business rather than ON it and there was a few mistakes made by him when managing the major projects we've handled in the last 2yrs but our builder/developer had made many which cost us literally hundreds of thousands in unpaid variations and payroll due to job blowouts. In a matter of days she has helped us turn so much around and we now have hope for a much brighter future and my hubby even listened to her and has started implementing changes which have provided positive cashflow changes almost immediately. If something needs to be changed or you need a fresh perspective on your biz, or even just hubby's processes or mindset then do yourself a favour and have a no obligation chat with her. It has very literally changed our lives for the better and I am now feeling hopeful and sleeping soundly again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
TradieWives Facebook post by Sheree B.: After seeing all the great recommendations for Tamika on this page, we knew we also needed her help. She was fantastic from the first call where we started nutting out our expenses vs pricing and I am very excited to say, today is day one back in the green! And just in time for Christmas! A huge thank you to Tamika for getting us back on track and please do reach out to her, having the reassurance and someone to speak to who gets our business, immediately helped the stress levels in our home.
TradieWives Facebook post by Jessika H.: I've been seeing a lot of call outs for a business coach and in the theme of Grease. Tamika Johnston you're the one I want, you're the one that I want!! Tamika is amazing, professional, does NOT judge at all in fact she makes YOU stop judging yourself and beating yourself up. She comes in with a fresh, clean perspective of your business, where it is, where it needs to go and how to get there. The only negative thing I have to say is my husband and I are idiots for not hiring Tamika sooner! If your business is struggling contact Tamika ASAP!!
TradieWives Facebook post by Tash D.: The best thing you can do for your business and yourselfs is invest in Tamika. Business doesn't have to be a struggle, and whilst everyone is good at what they do, I can guarantee you haven't looked at your business structure and know what you're working for or towards. Tamika helped us structure our business correctly, know exactly where we are at and making on only given job. Buy back our time, generate new leads, have our biggest revenue turn over in our history in 6 months. She's 10 stars mate. Take the leap. Life's to short sit around wondering, your either learn or you grow.
TradieWives Facebook post by Jessika H.: If you need business advice I can't recommend Tamika Johnston enough!!! Just one half hour phone call with her yesterday and things in the business became SO much clearer, it made hubby and I really sit down and talk about our running costs, parts costs etc and made us realise we needed to sit down and really write out our jobs so we can see where our money is going and it was a massive eye opener! It made us realise we were severely undercharging for everything. So yeah if you need help, reach out to her ASAP.
TradieWives Facebook post by Chantelle B.: We've had great results with Tamika! I was skeptical at first as to what next steps were with our business but I'm so glad I reached out to Tamika. She allowed us to understand our business in more detail which helped us to quote accordingly among many other aspects of the business. We were able to implement her strategies which have resulted in growth in many aspects of the business. She does tailor her program to you depending on your individual needs. Definitely have a chat with her.
TradieWives Facebook post by Jessika H.: We've worked with her and are going to work with her again in the near future. She opened our eyes to what we needed to charge, how our advertising was off, how to attract the right clients, our worth as people and as a business and what is our line that we say no thank you to a client. We are now one debt down because of Tamika Johnston. She is worth everything!
TradieWives Facebook post by Yvonne K.: For anyone who is a bit lost on where your business is going financially, or despite working your arse off and it seems like you're never getting ahead PLEASE contact Tamika Johnston!!! Another lady here mentioned Tamika earlier in the week after she had helped her and I practically screamed for Tamika to help me. I am excited for her help on turning things around for us (and he might actually listen to Tamika since he doesn't listen to me). Definitely worth a having a conversation with Tamika.
TradieWives Facebook post by Jacinda G.: We have just started working with Tamika and even after 1 session has shown us so much, what we should be charging and picked up on things our accountant is doing incorrectly. She's given us a more positive mindset.
TradieWives Facebook post by Jessika H.: Second meeting with Tamika Johnston done, homework assigned and feeling better than ever. My husband and I are in a hole but with Tamika's help we are building step by step and getting out of this hole. If you're struggling to break even, make a profit or just need guidance from a business coach I recommend getting in touch with Tamika, she is amazing, understanding, doesn't judge and cracks a joke or two. Let her know I sent you x
TradieWives Facebook post by Julie H.: Just want to give a shoutout to Tamika Johnston Construction & Trades Coach for helping my husband and I out today with a session to help us manage our business 'Overwhelm'! It was a great session, a great way to end our overwhelming week and we look forward to putting these strategies into play.
TradieWives Facebook post by Britt T.: Shout out to Tamika Johnston for her time & advice on an initial consultation call. We're starting our first small business and she was very patient and understanding. Recommend reaching out if you want to know more about what a business coach can do for your business.
TradieWives Facebook post by Sami M.: 100% agree. We recommend Tamika Johnston to our tradie clients. She gets amazing results.
TradieWives Facebook post by Danielle M.: We work with her too and she is amazing. Absolutely worth her weight in gold, worth every cent.
TradieWives Facebook post by Dalel M.: What a wonderful testimonial! Yes this woman is a bloody superstar.
TradieWives Facebook post by Delia S.: She is pretty cool chick that Tamika Johnston.
