millwater bizbuzz Some hope for success and often fail, whereas others grasp opportunities and drive success. Tyler Broughton, owner/operator of Hibiscus Coast Odd Jobs, is definitely one of the latter. Tyler started life in West Auckland before the family moved for six years to Australia and then returned in 2010. He and his sister are very keen on sport, especially playing softball and Tyler tried a number of job options, including a period as a youth leader, before realising that there was a living to be made by doing those jobs around the home and garden that others wanted to do but never quite got around to doing. From starting doing odd jobs at the age of 15, Tyler quickly realised that he needed to develop a business model, so he took good professional advice from qualified accountants and marketing managers and formed his own company, Hibiscus Coast Odd Jobs, which is locally-based here. Tyler jumped at the opportunity last year of a scholarship to a formal marketing course and this qualification and experience has further augmented the professionalism of his entrepreneurial initiative. “Now that I have my own successful company, I am already planning where next to grow what I know is a sound business
model,” said Tyler. “Next year will see my business expand across the North Shore and, within 5 years, across Auckland.” Hibiscus Coast Odd Jobs offers all levels of expertise; from labouring tasks to professionally qualified tradespeople in all disciplines. Tyler’s website http://hbcoddjobs.co.nz/ is an excellent source of detailed information and feedback on work already completed. “I understand fully the value of honesty and integrity to my business and work continually to grow my reputation,” Tyler added. “Our motto is ‘Young, local & driven’ and that really encapsulates our business ethos.” Nothing odd about that!
