Jim's Hazardous Material Removal - From Aldi to $250k: Sean's first year with Jim's Hazmat
Sean went from 10 years managing an Aldi supermarket to $250,000 in his first year as a Jim's Hazmat franchisee, with no trade background and no prior business experience.
Sean joins Joel on the Jim's Group Podcast to break down how he built one of the fastest-growing runs in the Jim's Hazmat division from scratch.
He covers the full range of services his business does, including asbestos removal, biohazard cleans, crime scenes, hoarder cleans, mould treatment and meth testing.
Sean talks through the real investment figure, the average job value, how he built his referral network through builders and real estate agents, and why his wife was able to leave full-time work before he hit his second year.
By year three, Sean is projecting $700,000. He also talks about becoming the first Jim's Hazmat franchisor in New Zealand and what that opportunity looks like for the right person.
