Meet Andreas, who is a star Jim's Building Inspections franchisee from Iceland originally.

He shares a load of great knowledge in this interview, and it's a must listen for anyone into property.

Meet Daniel from Jim's Bookkeeping, who shares a very honest insight into owning a Jim's franchise and how he has built his team already on the back of the Jim's leads.

Nathan is six months into his Jim’s Mowing journey and spring has been absolute chaos (in the best way).

In this check-in episode of the Jim’s Podcast, he shares what business really looks like once the busy season hits: managing days with up to 12 leads, staying organised with quoting and scheduling, and avoiding burnout while the diary fills fast.

He also breaks down the numbers so far — 130+ jobs paged, around 110 converted, and 35–40 regular customers — plus the surprising impact of consistent social media (especially timelapse videos) and word of mouth.

We cover:

• Handling the spring rush and keeping customers updated

• How he quotes, groups jobs by suburbs, and manages his diary

• The real value of brand, systems, and franchise support

• First casual hire and plans to grow to multiple trailers

• Why the biggest win isn’t just money — it’s freedom and happiness

In this episode of the Jim’s Podcast, we hear from a Jim’s Cleaning franchisee who’s grown his business to 22 staff, expanded into additional services, and built a strong reputation for quality and customer service.

He shares his journey from a corporate banking career to hands-on business ownership, the challenges of the early days, and the systems he uses to maintain standards as the business grows — from audits and staff training to hiring strategies that work.

A practical, honest conversation about leadership, growth, and what it really takes to build a sustainable Jim’s business.

Michael expected a slow start when he joined Jim’s Mowing — especially heading into winter. Instead, his schedule filled faster than he imagined.

In this episode of the More Than Just Mowing podcast, Michael shares his first two months as a Jim’s Mowing franchisee in Canberra.

He talks about starting out, learning to quote, responding quickly to leads, and how following the Jim’s system helped him build a full diary early on.

A practical, honest look at what new franchisees can expect when they back the process and focus on great customer service.

In this episode, Sharon sits down with three brand-new Jim’s Dog Wash franchisees to unpack the real story behind joining the division. No scripts, no polish. Just honest conversations about why they chose Jim’s, what training was actually like, and how it feels to step out of a job and into business ownership.

You’ll hear about trailer training, grooming big dogs in tight spaces, learning the systems, dealing with early nerves, and the surprising moments that made everything click. They talk openly about money, support, meeting Jim himself, and the emotional side of working with dogs every day.
