My passion for the construction industry started at a young age. Initially with my own property investing and developing, and then owning my own construction business.
Having had the role of estimator, quality control officer, bookkeeper, accountant, marketing expert and sales person (breath), I experienced the same frustrations that every other builder that I have mentored, and spoken to also faces.
This led me to my vision which is to provide a high value, affordable program for builders – to assist them to create their own foundations for their business all in the one place. Including pricing, sales and sales psychology, budgets, processes and procedures - And much more.
In my own business I found that it was extremely difficult to find this information and it definitely wasn’t in the one place.
My curiosity to find a better way within our business started with a long search and many phone conversations with my friends who were builders. I would ask things like, “How much are you charging per square at the moment” and, “I am so frustrated! I’ve just spent hours and hours on a proposal and they’ve used my specifications to get another builder to quote!” were the general dialogue of such conversations.
After a long and frustrating search, eventually I found my first business mentor who put us on the right track.
My affiliation with the industry didn’t stop there. I was lucky enough to become a strategic business coach specialising in builders and trades and I continued along my journey – one in which I’m extremely passionate about.
WHO IS CANDICE?
With a background as a pilot, and a once medical school attendee, Candice discovered her passions lay elsewhere. This began her pursuit of assisting others in all areas marketing, lead generation and personal development.
She discovered that her passion for not only her own business but the businesses of others led her to develop her own coaching business specialising in coaching coaches.
Having coached well over 5000 hours in her own coaching business, Candice forms the other side of the Academy partnership by guiding our clients through funnels and ways to generate a more consistent lead base rather than the “feast or famine” method as what the construction industry is well renowned for.
Together Tamika and Candice believe that they can change the industry. To create an enjoyable and sustainable business across all facets of not only business, but their clients lives.

Cindy J Drake – Helping Tradies Build Profitable, Well-Run Businesses
I help tradies take control of their business, boost profit, and win back their time – without burning out.
Through my TradeBoss Blueprint and one-on-one support, I turn overwhelm into structure, systems, and financial clarity.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked alongside hardworking plumbers, sparkies, builders, and mechanics (and plenty more) who are brilliant on the tools but overwhelmed by quoting, cash flow, team management, and tax. That’s where I come in.
I’m the founder of Practice Prosperity and creator of the TradeBoss Blueprint – a practical, step-by-step system that helps residential tradies grow from $10K months to $1M+ in annual revenue while working smarter, not harder.
My coaching style is hands-on, visual, and down-to-earth. I break complex business topics into clear diagrams, practical tools, and simple steps you can actually apply. Together, we create clarity in your business and financial planning, build the right systems in the right order, and develop processes that save time and reduce stress. I also use DISC personality profiling to help tradies better understand their team and clients – and lead with confidence.
Through the TradeBoss Blueprint, we focus on core areas that drive real results:
• Pricing for profit and fixing cash flow leaks
• Streamlining quoting, admin, and job flow
• Building and managing a reliable team
• Creating time for family, rest, and long-term goals
• Planning for real wealth and peace of mind
I’ve walked this path too – balancing business and family, and previously leading a team of 25. I understand what it takes to grow a business and manage people without burning out. I know how hard it can be to back yourself when things feel messy or uncertain.
Clients value how quickly I bring clarity, how invested I am in their goals, and how I simplify the complex. My approach is real, honest, and designed to build momentum.
If you’re ready to grow your trade business into something more structured, sustainable, and profitable – reach out for a chat.
Let’s build your business like a boss… and enjoy life beyond work.

I'm a business systemisation specialist who helps small to medium-sized business owners who want to scale or exit their businesses but are stuck in and overwhelmed by their daily operations.
It's impossible to find the time and creative space to grow a business when you're trapped in it, and it relies solely on you. I help by turning your current business into one that can scale, is smooth running and has a reputation for excellence.
Document how the business functions and pass the knowledge on. This allows you to trust your team to deliver an exceptional customer experience every time and it frees you up for the important activities that actually help your business grow.
Build your business's knowledge base and secure your most vital asset - your systems! When your systems are documented, there is less risk. You can weather any storm, stop being reliant on people and instead let the systems run the business.
If you're ready for more scale, better clarity and structure, or to exit your business, then systemisation is essential. Let me show you how to do it so it's neither overwhelming nor time-consuming.
