"Three years ago, after having our first child, we discovered that between working full time jobs with over 1 hour travel each way we were never able to spend that much-needed quality time with our baby. I was a Super Market Manager and my wife was a Real Estate Administrator so our jobs were very demanding and we usually took our work home with us.
We looked into James’ Home Services, and after meeting with our regions Master Franchisee and many other franchisees we were excited to come on board and become our own boss! The James’ system appealed to us and the security of an ongoing support network sold us!
Since starting our business, we have grown to the point where we now employ 2 staff to work with us; we have more time for our family and have managed to have a second baby! We no longer work weekends, or late nights. We earn more now than we did working for someone else, and we enjoy life!
I have spent the last 18 months as a trainer, teaching new franchisees how to run their own business, and how to succeed using a proven business system. Our future plans through James’ is to continue to grow our business as a substantial asset, with many people working for us, making us financially secure right through to early retirement and also as an asset we can hand over to our children.
Thanks James Home Services!”
“Before we became part of James’ Home Services, Ray and I owned our own retail gift shop. But Ray was bored with his job, and we wanted more for our future. Now we’re in control of how much we earn and the hours we work. Working in retail, we had to rely on the public coming into our store, but with James’, we can go out and market our business to whatever level we want.
We’re expanding our franchise every day. Our kids work with us, and we’re even looking to employ more interior cleaners, since there’s too much work to manage on our own! Ray and I both feel it was the best thing we’ve ever done for ourselves, and our kids. We feel that by being with James’ we have secured our children’s future.”
