William Hutchinson Murray - commitment
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning acts of initiative (and creation)
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
That the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor
all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings
and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream, you can begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now.

Bondi Chai has become the most awarded product of its kind in Australia, picking up awards from Telstra, and even a Stevie award.

In today's episode Kevin Bees, Profit Maximisation Expert interviews Jim Penman, CEO of Jim’s group.
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. In 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Group 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 40 other divisions which now operate in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Jim’s Group now has over 4,700 Franchisees.
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. Every Franchisee is given his direct phone number and Email address and is invited to contact him at any time. He also responds to any client with a serious complaint.
He is funding a research program into the epigenetics of social behavior, a continuation of his PhD work, which he believes could help in the treatment of mental illness and addictive disorders.
His books 'Biohistory’, ‘Epigenetics and Character’, and ‘Every Customer a Fan’ are available on Amazon and from www.jims.net. An authorised biography ‘Jim’s Book’ by Catherine Moolenschot, was released by Wiley in March 2019
- Daily exercise (Jim is 70 and super fit)
- Having no unhappy clients… ever…. for any reason.
- Making sure all Franchisees in Jim’s group are achieving great financial results
- Making his research program successful so he can help 10’s of millions of people worldwide.
In this episode we also hear Jim’s empowering belief:
“There are so many opportunities, it's amazing”
“There is gold lying around on the ground, you just have to go and pick it up”
“Success is not about education, or brains, or money, it is about character”
