“After emigrating from New Zealand, we were ready to make changes and get off the treadmill of what we’d been doing. I had worked in Project Management and Lisa’s background was in Administration, so together we make a good team and thought this was a great opportunity to work as a partnership.
We wanted to experience a new challenge and get out of our comfort zone, and be able to set our own course in life. I was sick of being bound by restrictions: when to have lunch, when to have `smoko’, when to start and when to finish, to having to get special permission to take leave and so on.
When we were searching for the right franchise, we looked for an established company that had the experience and back-up we wanted. We were impressed by James’ Home Services, especially when we looked their training and mentoring program, and their `system of success’. The ongoing instruction and support has been fantastic.
It’s great to have the flexibility to attend school activities with our children. Another thing we’ve really enjoyed is learning new skills, concepts, ideas, and ways of doing things to achieve success. “
“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.”
