The Secret to Turning an Everyday Idea into an actual FULL paying Profession: The story of Jim's Mowing: Jim Penman. SO I met a person who has a PHD in history (but apart from history) he LOVED gardening. So one day he went to mow someone's lawn (got paid) mowed someone else's lawn (got referrals) then got repeat business and soon enough he had a little business. That little business is now an Australian success story called Jim's Mowing which services 35,000 clients a day, making $500 million a year ALL from a history lecturer whose passion for gardening turned into a profession. If you have EVER had an idea and you thought, how would l make that happen, or that's too simple, or HOW do you make it into a success- this interview is for you. Jim Penman (the historian) turned backyard millionaire (from mowing lawns) is an incredible story, one that I'm am so thrilled to bring to you in the FIRST podcast for 2020.

With over 4000 franchises, Jim Penman is the face of the biggest franchise group in the country. (Once you listen to the chat you will hear me rattle all 52 divisions). What started as a young boy helping his neighbour, evolved into Jim's Mowing, which evolved into the Jim's Group. But interestingly, Jim isn't a big fan of business. In fact, he has an entirely different bigger picture. In their chat, Jim shares with Matt some of his 'pathetic failures' and why gives his phone number to every franchisee.

Today I have the pleasure of sharing a man that everyone will be family with. The man behind Jim's mowing. Jim Penman started a part-time gardening business while earning his PhD in history at Latrobe University. He launched a full-time mowing business in 1982 with a $24 investment. He originally aimed only at taking on subcontractors, but his business grew and he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds. By 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Mowing has become the largest franchise chain in Australian and the largest and best-known lawn mowing business in the world. Jim’s Cleaning was launched in 1994, followed by more than 50 other divisions which now operate in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. Jim’s Group now has over 3,800 Franchisees and a turnover of approximately $500 million. Jim says “The key to success in franchising is an overriding concern for the welfare of franchisees, and constant improvement in customer service.” He is still actively involved in the running of the business, is directly accessible to all his Franchisees and to any client with a serious complaint. He is funding a research program into the epigenetics of social behaviour, a continuation of his PhD work, which he believes could help in the treatment of mental illness and addictive disorders. His books ‘Biohistory’, Biohistory: decline of the West’, and ‘Every Customer a Fan’ are available on Amazon and from his web site www.biohistory.org.

Jim Penman started Jim's Mowing (the first franchise of the Jim's Group) as a part-time gardening business while he completed his PhD in History. It went full time in 1982 and was franchised in 1989. Currently, there are over 2,900 Franchisees in four countries covering 36 industries, and growing at the rate of around 200 per year. For all the business success he has enjoyed over the years, Jim Penman remains remarkably unassuming. In this fireside chat I had with him, Jim reveals how and why Jim's Mowing came about and how he built it in to the second biggest franchise group in Australia today.
