How much do Jim's Mowing franchisees actually earn? A 14-year Jim's Mowing franchisor in Canberra gives you the real numbers, from $50,000 to $600,000 invoiced in a single year.

He explains exactly what makes the difference.

In this episode of the More Than Just Mowing podcast, Jason sits down with host Joel Kleber to answer the questions every prospective franchisee asks.

Jason went from racing as a professional triathlete to buying a Jim's Mowing franchise 14 years ago, and now mentors new franchisees across his region.

He tackles the most common myth he hears, that Jim's takes a percentage of every job, and explains why every dollar you invoice goes straight into your account.

He breaks down what it costs to start, how the pay for work guarantee works, and how he sold 80 regular clients for $80,000 to scale his business back to suit his life.

If you have ever wondered whether a lawn mowing franchise in Australia is worth it, this is an honest look from someone who has done it for over a decade.
