Why were more millionaires made during the Great Depression, than in any other time in history? Because as Napoleon Hill once said “Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat”.  They had an attitude of long term survival.

I can remember as a young girl sitting at long timber trestle tables watching family and friends laugh and talk loudly with hands going wildly in the air (as Italians do) and smelling the strong smell of tobacco  drifting from the curing sheds. An abundance of pastas, drinks and desserts ensured we kept hearing “mangiare” “mangiare”. My grandparents were hard workers and when they partied, they partied.  And when they worked, they worked.

Sailing over on a boat from Italy, my Grandfather knew Australia was the land of opportunity.  A land where great fortunes could be made for him and his family and generations to come.  They would have their own farm and work for their financial security.  They knew they would be financially secure by having their own business.  A business growing tobacco.

Not much has changed in my family over the years.  My husband started James’ Home Services 17 years ago.  Why?  Because he knew having his own business would always ensure we would have financial security and freedom. That our children would come first and work second.  We work around our children’s school hours, sports and them needing us to be at home if they are sick. We determine the hours we work and our children benefit.

So like my grandparents, Robert and I work side by side because we know our families financial security, is our responsibility.

We no longer have family gatherings in a tobacco curing shed, but as we sit on the veranda and watch the kids run around the yard and play, I can’t help but think “History has a habit of repeating itself”.  So as we experience 5.2% unemployment, there is another stream of millionaires out there right now creating their legacy.  What are YOU DOING?  Job Security! What job security?

Watch out how fast Colin Dorrian and Norm Krieke leave you hanging Glen.

You won’t be getting much sleep for the next couple of years Glen.

James Master Troll Busters are going to bring the Trolls out from under their rock

We all know this is the franchisors problem anyway.

If you’re a franchisee just let them worry about it.

Franchisees or Master Franchises don’t have to waste their time on marketing!
Now, who doesn’t think at half  the advertising is total rubbish.

Made up by so advertising “Guru”, After what appears he’s had just too many Crown Lagers at lunch!

Example:That Commonwealth  Bank logo, what is the story there?

That had to be designed by someone late on a Friday afternoon in a hurry to get home !

Or what about that Bankwest squirrel thing,  could any person in their right mind think that’s going to make ANYBODY change their bank?

Or,”The Snuggie.the blanket with arms” or the “Sham Waoh’the super shamie from Germany ! We hear a 4 minute advertorial praising  the amazing virtues of these awesome products that we just can’t get by without!

Personally ,I’ve never seen anyone hanging out in their Snuggie!

What about these billboards about your ” love life ” lasting longer?

Yeh, you’re driving along the freeway, you see the “sign” that promises to turn you into a legend with one phone call! It’s a wonder anyone drives past without making the call.

Won’t they think some one at Mackers would have worked out uniform that doesn’t look so daggy!

Brochures in my mailbox every week from Woolies telling us the specials!

I don’t care!

Don’t they know that I just throw them in the wheelie bin?

Now you may believe these are all total waste of money and you want no part this hype!

And you may even think if I became a franchisee I want have to waste my time on this stuff!

But,please consider!

You have probably heard about most of,If not all of the above!

Oh My God! The Marketing “Gurus’ got in our heads!

We’ve been brainwashed!

Don’t you hate that!

Also consider!

Franchising is a system to market goods or services!

A mature franchisee system goes give you the opportunity to a marketing fast track.

Brand awareness!

Proven marketing procedures !

Training on how to use those systems!

A professional franchise system has marketing systems at every level of the business.

The brand has to be clearly defined at every stage of the marketing.

The marketing is not just the “heavy artillery of the TV campaign.

Even though this is a important starting point.

Each other step is just as vital.

The web marketing!

The sign-age!

The brochures!

The shop front!

The uniforms.

The scripts or greeting used to the sales process.

And of course the final delivery of the service or goods.

Delivering the of the promise.

These steps are all marketing!

It is vital that the marketing is consistent throughout the whole network.

Any variation chips away at the integrity of the marketing systems,which intern chips away at the profitability of the everyone’s business.

But,Systems are only as good as those implementing them!

We as franchise & master Franchises  all must follow our marketing systems, whether its’ putting the correct TV adds to air or wearing the right uniforms!

Your customers expect it from us,that’s why you called us in the first place.

You can’t deliver  half the promise ,You can’t be half in a franchise

For financial health of everyonein our network we all have to be committed to marketing system!

As a franchisee or master franchisee we have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of our brand.

Stronger the systems ,Stronger the franchise,Stronger everyones business!

If you”hate marketing” you should not buy a franchise!

for that matter ,stay away from business,

Get yourself a nice secure government job were it doesn’t matter if you deliver the promise there!

Franchising is marketing.

Free Enterprise Rules

Rushlyn Pty Ltd Trading as James Home Services

#2 You think you know more  than the Franchisor!

“See you in the marketplace, free enterprise rules! ”

Rushlyn Pty Ltd Trading as James Home Services

Robert James

James Home Services

True,This is one of the great things about a franchise!
You can ALWAYS blame the Franchisor or Master franchisee if you fail!
What other business model has this luxury?
If you just start up by yourself,you have to blame the government,the GFC,the weather,the opposition,your accountant,the market,the bloke down the road who you think is cheaper than you,interest rates or your solicitor!
Sorry that was a slip!
You can’t blame the solicitors,they make up the rules and they always make a dollar no matter which way it goes!
A lot of people buy franchises in a false belief that if they don’t feel like running their business,it is the responsibility of the Master Franchisee or Franchisor to bale them out and refund the money.
A “Get out of jail free card” if you like.
This is not the way the “Free Enterprise system works”!
Business is competitive!
You have to compete!
Every business has to deliver to their customers!
Every business owner is responsible for their success.
This is what is so rewarding for ALL successful business owners.
Knowing that YOU did it, is just so cool!
When you get to share that feeling with your peers in a franchise group it is just awesome.
Success shared,is success doubled!
So,if you do want to blame someone else,stay in your deadend job and whine about the boss who feeds your family every week!
If you are truly looking for a fall guy look in the mirror!
But don’t buy a franchise!
Free enterprise rules!

Last month I had the privilege of having one of my team members from the company I worked for previously purchase their own James Interior House Cleaning franchise in Atherton.  Congratulations Wayne & Sandy Bunce and WELCOME!

Their concern initially was echoed in the question above… “Can this provide from day 1?”. “It’s a new business!?”

The answer to the question above, “Can a James A New Business Provide Sufficient Income For MY Family?”…. remains a resounding YES!!!!

How;

-      Just stick to the system,

-      Learn from your trainer,

-      Work with your business coach,

-      Apply what you learn

-      And most of all enjoy owning your OWN business.

Remember in James you are “in business for yourself, but not by yourself!”

This last week was their first week “on their own”.  Catching up with them yesterday, I was excited to find out they earned more in their first week in their new business than most Managers earn in a week in their “successful” job in the company I used to work with!  25 quotes done.  23 won.  Regular customers coming out their ears.  Jobs booked in as far away as March!  Oh, and they only worked 4 days as they had completion training to do!

HOW, you ask?

They stuck to the system!  Did the “little things that make a big difference”, and were trained by their legendary James trainer, Peter Black….

We are sick of the lies being betrayed be a small group with lazy thieving master  franchise who have rightfully been shown the door because of their unethenical behaviour.

They took the franchisees money and ran!

We hope our franchisor keeps chasing the scum down and makes an example of them.

Crying poor little master franchisor wears real thin with the franchisees.

The scum bags take the franchisee $35,000 + investment, sign a 10 year agreement and piss off.

Then have the hide to shit on your businesses.

The cowards are too gutless to place their names to the http://jamesmasterlies.wordpress.com/  blogg.

This is internet corporate  terrorism at its worst.

None of this is true!

They say master lies.Well, that is exactly what it is!Only true statement that they make.

Well,there’s no honour amongst thieves or internet trolls either.

With some of the trolls very quick to drop Colin Dorrian ,Norm Krieke and Ray Borradale right in it ,to save their own ass.

So others have bit parts and have been played the fools by Colin Dorrian and Norm Krieke.

And fools can be easily lead it appears.

Their gutless attacks on our businesses,our honest master franchises that look after their franchisee and our franchisor, Robert James is a outrage.

James Master Troll Busters are going to bring the Trolls out from under their rock

While manning a stand at Ipswich markets we met Derek, a local painter who
when asked if he had heard of James’ Home Services cheerfully let us know
that he always recommended James’ when his customers needed extra stuff
done, he explained that of the walls or windows needed cleaning that it was
not what he did and nor was he interested in doing it anyway.

He had researched several service organizations and decided that James was
the best fit for his clients.

When I asked for some cards to connect him with our guys directly I’m not
sure he grasped the power of this partnering arrangement which I believe is
one of the core strengths of our organization, and one which we all take so
much for granted.

None of our competitors work this way nor do they grasp it’s power as a
problem solving mechanism for those customers who are astute enough to align
themselves with us. Any one of our franchisees has the ability, with a
single phone call, to solve a customers problems in a way that benefits all
3 parties, (the customer, the franchisee and also the referred franchisee)
as well as enhancing the brand.. Effectively this becomes a win win win win
situation.

More wins could come from this were I to explore the ripple effect involved
here.

There is also another opportunity for us to harness these “silent partners”
in complementary industries to further improve our solution provider status
and as a natural consequence our value in the eyes if our customer.
After all, isn’t that what we are really all about?

Tim Burns, James Home Services State Master Franchisee ,New South Wales.

“Unfortunately 120 staff will be made redundant within the next eighteen months” kept running thru her head.  Along with the news the company was going to spend so many millions on new equipment, came the thudding news that people were going to lose their jobs.  She didn’t hear anything else in that meeting.  All she kept thinking was “I’m going to lose my job”.  “Oh My God, what am I going to do”?  I’m 40 years old, single, bills to pay who’s going to employ me?

“Oh My God, what am I going to do”?

The rest of the day was a bit of a haze.  As she sat at home that night blankly looking at the television screen and moving her fork around the plate of cold food, her hungry cat’s meows brought her back to the present.  Sleep was nonexistent that night.  All she could think of was “What am I going to do for a job”?

The Australian Bureau of Statistics summary of findings overview states, that between July 1997 and July 2001 the largest number of employees were retrenched from jobs in the following industries:

.  Manufacturing – 122,100 (20% of all retrenched employees)

.  Property and Business Services – 70,400 (12%) and

.  Construction – 68,500 (11%)

Over half (52%) of these people retrenched in the 3 years prior to July 2001 were aged between 25-44 years, with 16% aged between 18-24 years, and 10% aged between 55-64 years.

For Mandy this was a frightening time for her.  She always wanted to have her own business but, never had the confidence to back herself.  She always believed what her parents said, which was “Stay in a job”.  “You’ll be safer in a job”.  But at 44 years of age, that wasn’t the case.  Times were changing, and Mandy knew she had to as well.

James’ Home Services knows that if you go into business for yourself, your chances of success are 94% or 34%.  If you invest in a Franchise Business, your chances of success are 94%, providing you choose the right Franchise.

Conversely it is estimated that only 34% of independent businesses survive their first five years.

Mandy did a lot of research and with the facts layout in black and white, choose a James’ Home Services Interior Cleaning Franchise.  She now wakes up everyday knowing she is doing something for herself. That gives her a feeling of complete independence and control in her life.

If yo.u’re facing Redundancy, don’t become a statistic. It’s time to call James’ Home Services.  After 17 years, our System speaks for itself.
