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
