In three months a Western Australia couple went from zero clients to 57 regular clients, booked out every week, hitting nearly $7,000 in a single week.

Simon and Dee quit their full-time jobs, a 15-year truck driving career and car delivery work, kept their mortgage, and started a Jim's Mowing franchise on 8 March. Host Joel Kleber sits down with the couple soon after they finished training in Melbourne.

They break down the real numbers behind their first three months, why they call every lead back within five to ten minutes, and how they reached an 80 percent conversion rate.

They cover the fear of leaving a steady wage, the switch from battery Ryobi gear to commercial petrol, the value of franchisor Peter's support, and how they collected 64 five-star Google reviews using one line in their Jimbo invoice.

If you are on the fence about leaving a job to run your own business, start here.
