Hi Guys
Just wanted to share with you my journey over my first 13 months as a Jimbo.
My wife and I came over to training June long weekend 2012. I had decided that I needed a new career after doing sales and management in a couple of fields and wanting to make money for myself instead of someone else, plus wanting to be at home a lot more as we had a baby on the way.
The plan was to start a business try and make it work and eventually get my wife working in it with me and live the dream.
Well after 2 months i grew from 80 to 105 odd clients, I did my first split after 8 months, I have landed a 1mth trial with a retirement home that I was doing some lawns for as the caretaker of all gardens which will let my wife leave her job and work with me as it will be 3 full days a week for her and I am also about to advertise my second split. All this and I would average about 30hrs a week as I work hard and fast (not compromising quality) which is great as my wife gave birth to my beautiful daughter Alaula 6 months ago and I love that I am around for them both.
The Foran’s and Judith have been great franchisors for me, who have helped so much on the how to do things in the garden front at the start and Steve Berdet who introduced me to the world of Jim’s on my day in the field and taught me plenty in the few days I has with him.
I wanted to share a feel good story with you of my journey which I think is pretty good so far.
I can’t thank you enough for giving me the opportunity and tools to change my life and work for myself. I think you all do a great job and I’m proud to be a Jimbo.
