I Thought Winter Would Be Quiet… Then the Leads Just Kept Coming

Описание: Michael didn’t know what to expect when he started his Jim’s Mowing business in Canberra.
He was told winter was quiet.

He prepared himself for slow days. Instead, the leads started coming in from 7am on his very first Monday, and they didn’t stop.

In this episode of the More Than Just Mowing podcast, Michael shares his honest first-two-months journey: the nerves before training, the reality of quoting customers for the first time, and how simply following the Jim’s system helped him build a full schedule faster than he ever imagined.

We talk about:

What his first week on the road really looked like

Why calling leads back immediately made such a big difference

How he built 25 regular customers in under two months

The shift from a government desk job to physical, outdoor work

Managing work, family life, and confidence as a new business owner

Why good customer service beats being “salesy” every time

If you’re considering a franchise, starting a small business, or wondering what the early days are actually like — this episode is a must-listen.
