Shiva used to manage a 7-Eleven. Seven days a week. Flat out. Same loop, different day.
After a while he just thought, I want something of my own. More flexibility. More variety. More people. And because he’s always been into tech, solar made sense.
In this episode, Shiva shares what it’s been like in his first 10 months with Jim’s Solar, including:
Why he walked away from a hectic retail management role
How his interest in technology pushed him toward solar
Why he found the work easier than expected (and why it “came naturally”)
What it’s really like meeting customers, hearing their situation, and offering solutions
The big advantage of the Jim’s brand. Trust, loyalty, and local reputation built over decades
His advice if you’re considering it. Go out on a visit with another franchisee and see the day-to-day before you commit
If you’re stuck in the “same job, every day” loop and you’ve been thinking about doing something different, this is a good one to watch.
