In this episode:

Shaun shares exactly how he grew his franchise to $250K in his first year, even without prior industry experience.

He talks about the intensive training, mentorship, and business strategies that helped him succeed. You’ll hear how he landed high-value clients, built strong industry connections, and leveraged the Jim’s brand to establish trust with customers.

If you’re looking for a franchise with strong profit potential and built-in support, this is the episode for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Training Sets You Up for Success.
  Shaun had no experience in hazardous material removal, but Jim’s provided hands-on training, mentorship, and certification courses. From asbestos handling to biohazard cleanup, he learned everything he needed to run a successful franchise.

• $250K in Year One is Possible.
  Shaun hit $250,000 in revenue in his first year using a combination of solo work and contractors for larger jobs. His focus on customer service and industry networking helped him scale quickly.

• Low Startup Costs with Strong ROI.
