Looking for a source of income to support his studies, Jim began mowing lawns. Instead of worrying about advertising and flashy gimmicks, Jim focused on customer satisfaction, finding the secret to success in a devoted customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wanted customers to be so delighted that they\u2019d recommend me and use me forever,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to the success of his mowing rounds, Jim began employing subcontractors to meet the growing demand. In 1982 he turned his part-time mowing job into a full time business, which he then began franchising in 1989. The Jim\u2019s Group now has almost 5,500 Franchisees in four countries across over 50 different services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen people asked me how I thought I might go, I said, \u2018If it\u2019s really successful, one day I could have as many as 100 franchisees,\u2019\u201d Penman laughs, \u201cnow, I have just under 5,500.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its humble beginnings, the Jim\u2019s Group has grown into one of the most successful franchises in the world, with near-universal brand recognition in Australia. This growth does not look to be slowing either, with around 200 new franchisees joining each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jim\u2019s Group now boasts one of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jimstrees.com.au\/locations\/victoria\/tree-removal-melbourne\/\">Melbourne\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;best conference centres which is used for meetings, functions and training for Jim\u2019s franchisees and staff. Jim maintains that it is the franchisees that are key to the success of the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way we treat our franchisees, how we maintain quality, how we make sure they\u2019re looked after, that they\u2019re happy\u2026that\u2019s the innovative part of the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no company-owned businesses and all work is done by licensed operators and Franchisees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo run a successful cleaning or mowing [business], you don\u2019t have to be a genius,\u201d Penman says, \u201cyou have to be somebody with good character \u2026 We are very selective, unless I\u2019m convinced [a franchisee] will succeed, I don\u2019t accept them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim remains the owner and full-time CEO of Jim\u2019s Group. He is happily married with ten children, loves his work and has no plans to retire \u2013 ever! When it comes to the success of the Jim\u2019s Group, Penman doesn\u2019t believe there\u2019s one magic ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u201cThere\u2019s nothing particularly clever about what I\u2019ve done, it\u2019s how we do it that matters \u2026 It\u2019s not about brilliant ideas,\u201d says Penman, \u201cit\u2019s thousands of little ideas. Every day I say, \u2018How can I do this better?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"jims-block-buttons  frontend jims-block-buttons-6061466bda3e32fd849a8e5b80497ee2 left valign-center jims-block-buttons-front\" style=\"gap:25px\">\n        \n<style>@media only screen and (min-width:0) { #block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037{margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0px;padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:26px;padding-right:26px;border-radius:100px;box-shadow:none;border-top: none 0px;border-bottom: none 0px;border-left: none 0px;border-right: none 0px;position:relative;top:unset;bottom:unset;left:unset;right:unset;background:#d8a404;background-size:auto;color:#ffffff;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;text-transform:none;display:inherit;width:unset;height:unset;z-index:initial;}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037 > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037:hover > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037:active > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n@media only screen and (min-width:767px) { #block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037{margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0px;padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:26px;padding-right:26px;border-radius:100px;box-shadow:none;border-top: none 0px;border-bottom: none 0px;border-left: none 0px;border-right: none 0px;position:relative;top:unset;bottom:unset;left:unset;right:unset;background:#d8a404;background-size:auto;color:#ffffff;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;text-transform:none;display:inherit;width:unset;height:unset;z-index:initial;}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037 > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037:hover > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037:active > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n@media only screen and (min-width:1000px) { #block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037{margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0px;padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:26px;padding-right:26px;border-radius:100px;box-shadow:none;border-top: none 0px;border-bottom: none 0px;border-left: none 0px;border-right: none 0px;position:relative;top:unset;bottom:unset;left:unset;right:unset;background:#d8a404;background-size:auto;color:#ffffff;font-family:inherit;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;text-transform:none;display:inherit;width:unset;height:unset;z-index:initial;}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037 > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037:hover > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n#block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037:active > *{padding-left:26px;margin-left:-26px;padding-right:26px;margin-right:-26px;padding-top:12px;margin-top:-12px;padding-bottom:12px;margin-bottom:-12px;}\n}\n<\/style><div  class=\"common-base\" id=\"block-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037\"><input class='common-animations-input hidden' type='hidden' value='[]' \/>\n<div class=\"jims-block-button jims-trees-button-animation frontend jims-block-button-42358f0335db803f8ff11e6dfd716037 left\" style=\"--gap:5px\">\n\n            <a style='' href=\"https:\/\/jimpenman.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" >\n            Visit Jim&#8217;s Website<i class=\"fa-svg is-fa-arrow-up-right-from-square\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><!--!
