Description

I’m delighted to share the latest episode of my podcast Success is Never Accidental, featuring the remarkable Lisa McKenzie.

Lisa is the founder of Homes4U NWA in Australia and a former senior manager in the South Metropolitan Health Service. Her story is one of bold reinvention—transitioning from a high-level role in healthcare to building a $30 million construction enterprise from the ground up.

In this episode, she shares invaluable insights on leadership, resilience, and business growth, including practical strategies for building the right team, honouring commitments, and leading with both clarity and compassion.

Key messages from Lisa’s story:

• Surround yourself with mentors and people who know more than you.
• Build teams that suit each phase of growth—acquisition, scheduling, and delivery.
• Lead with clarity and kindness; set clear expectations while respecting individuals.
• Keep your word in business—pay well, pay on time, and reward good work.
• Delegate high-value remote projects to trusted, values-driven professionals.
• Don’t wait—if you feel stuck, take the first step. You can go it alone.
