Joel KleberHOST
Right, well, so people can figure that out.
Joel KleberHOST
So welcome to the Jim's Mowing and Jim's Group podcast, and I'm joined in studio today by franchisee Nathan.
Joel KleberHOST
And you're from Jim's Mowing, and you've just clicked over your first year, so well done on that.
NathanGUEST
Thank you.
Joel KleberHOST
Now, Nathan, you've got a great story, 'cause a lot of that...
Joel KleberHOST
For those who don't know about how you got involved with Jim's Mowing, do you just wanna tell us a bit about who you are and, and who your dad is and, and how you got involved?
NathanGUEST
So basically, my father has had a Jim's Mowing franchise for 28 years now, twen- going on 29.
NathanGUEST
So yeah, I used to work with him as a little, little kid on school holidays, and never had an interest in it.
Joel KleberHOST
buyers come through and have a look at it.
Joel KleberHOST
So welcome back to the Jim's Mowing and Jim's Group podcast.
Joel KleberHOST
I've got Anok, who's been one of our great sort of brand ambassadors and supporters with all the content that he does.
Joel KleberHOST
We've seen Anok, you know, we do real estate stuff, a lot of videos with Anok online.
EnochGUEST
my name is Anok.
EnochGUEST
We run two sort of franchises now.
EnochGUEST
We've got the Jim's Mowing Reservoir Central And then me and my partner Bianca, we also run Jim's Cleaning Preston East.
EnochGUEST
So if you quite remember, we bought Jim's Cleaning Preston East six months into my Jim's mowing.
Gary AshtonHOST
I've talked to a lot of people and watched a lot of other things going on.
Gary AshtonHOST
It seems if you're buying and selling rounds, Jim's Mowing seems to have that premium model where they can go, you know what, they're a Jim's customer, therefore they're worth more like five to eight times cut value.
Gary AshtonHOST
And we could speculate, but they hit that when they're selling internally.
Gary AshtonHOST
Yeah.
Julian SeeGUEST
Yeah, around 80, 80 to 90.
Joel KleberHOST
So welcome to the Jim's Mowing and Jim's Group podcast.
Joel KleberHOST
So Julian, thanks for jumping on.
Joel KleberHOST
I remember you from back a while back.
Joel KleberHOST
So what's your travel channel called?
Julian SeeGUEST
It's called Globetrotter Jewels, G-L-O-B-E-T-R-O-T-T-E-R-J-U-L-E-Z.
Joel KleberHOST
So you work your Jim's Mowing franchise around doing this YouTube channel for travel.
Joel KleberHOST
So how does that look?
Joel KleberHOST
So James, when you had that feeling, like obviously I want to do my own thing or looking at stuff, how did you come across Jim's Pool Care? And maybe you want to talk through people, maybe your process of why you decided on Jim's Pool Care or the industry or how you decided on doing that from what you were doing? Because it's a bit of an unrelated sort of area, right? So how did you get into it?
James MiddletonGUEST
My parents, my mum and dad, had a Jim's Mowing franchise for five years, sort of going from leaving the full-time workforce and transitioning, I suppose, a reverse-scale transition into retirement.
James MiddletonGUEST
I went out with dad a few times when the corporate side was getting a bit much.
James MiddletonGUEST
I was on the tools and doing those sort of things, and I really enjoyed that feeling of you're having an effect or generating an outcome immediately.
24 MINS LATER
James MiddletonGUEST
Now back to the podcast.
Joel KleberHOST
I'll tell you a funny story.
Joel KleberHOST
I had Chris Hansen, and he's a franchise owner from Jim's Mowing.
Joel KleberHOST
He's been around for many years, and he was saying that he's had guys who left Jim's Mowing and, you know, blaming Jim's this and that.
JasonGUEST
So
Joel KleberHOST
Jason, thank you very much for joining us today in the Jim's Mowing and Jim's Group podcast.
Joel KleberHOST
So Jason is a regional franchisor and also been a franchisee for a few years now.
Joel KleberHOST
So Jason, do you want to talk a little bit about yourself first, about how you got involved with Jim's Mowing in the first place?
JasonGUEST
Yeah, so I originally worked for my parents.
JasonGUEST
They had about five bike shops in Canberra.
JasonGUEST
So I basically thought, you know, I didn't want to go out and have a boss because that was not going to work for me at all.
JasonGUEST
I was probably going to last about a week having someone tell me what to do.
Rick SennonsGUEST
You know, I only wear them on my days off.
Rick SennonsGUEST
If I go to Bunnings on a Sunday or something like that, like I'm always, my car's got Jim's mowing on it.
Rick SennonsGUEST
So it's always there.
Rick SennonsGUEST
It's always in people's faces.
Joel KleberHOST
So your videos again, getting around there, mate, you've done a great job with what you've done.
Joel KleberHOST
And I think we're going to talk all about that first of all, but you've only been with Jim's Mowing for a couple of months now, and literally your journey is on your YouTube channel.
Joel KleberHOST
So at Jordan's Mowing, people can go to YouTube, and I'm sure people have already seen it.
Joel KleberHOST
If you haven't, go and check it out.
Joel KleberHOST
It started with a bang.
Joel KleberHOST
So Jordan, first of all, talk about, for those who haven't watched your channel, what got you involved in Jim's Mowing, and let's just talk about your channel.
Jordan RogersonGUEST
Well, firstly, thanks for having me, Joel.
Jordan RogersonGUEST
This is awesome.
speaker_0HOST
So when they've planted stuff, like what time of year they've planted it, what type of plants are there and make it easy for the maintenance and management.
speaker_0HOST
So the early days when I spoke to her, I think she called Jim's Mowing because she couldn't find someone in town, couldn't find a horticulturalist, full-time horticulturalist out there.
speaker_0HOST
She called through Jim's Mowing in hope that we might have someone.
speaker_0HOST
And you gave me as a reference.
speaker_0HOST
And she gave me a call and I just spoke to her about, no, we're not necessarily horticulturalists.
24 MINS LATER
speaker_0HOST
So you've got to somehow let everyone know that that's the service that you do.
DushantGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
DushantGUEST
And it's good because I had a mate in Blaney, they were like, oh, do you know the Jim's Mowing guy that does all the gutters in there? He's on Facebook.
Jack FredericksGUEST
Scaling the business is on the cards, but I'm doing things very deliberately.
Jack FredericksGUEST
Starting my business when I have, I've been very fortunate that there's so much information out there between the Jim's Mowing Network and all of the other podcasts and Facebook groups.
Jack FredericksGUEST
So much information, so many experiences, and I've been really open to listening and absorbing all of that.
Jack FredericksGUEST
I'm sort of doing my best to avoid the pitfalls of what other people have gone through in terms of scaling their business.
Jack FredericksGUEST
I've been able to condense that portfolio of clients into a four day or less than four day week on the tools.
Jack FredericksGUEST
And something that's been so powerful for my business is since having one day a week to work on my business, I've seen immediate returns on that.
Joel KleberHOST
So Jack, thank you very much for joining us on the Jim's Mowing and Jim's Group podcast as well.
Joel KleberHOST
And Jack, you've been on before the Jim's Mowing podcast, which was a while ago.
