Are you feeling stuck in your business journey? If so, you're in the right place. I'm passionate about helping people, especially those in the Direct Selling industry, to find their own success and make a significant impact every day.

Over the past nine years, Greg and I have had the privilege of working with over 300,000 Direct Sellers worldwide. We've noticed common patterns among them, and one recurring issue stands out: the feeling of being stuck. I know this feeling well because I've experienced it myself. Even now, I sometimes find myself in that place. But, the key is recognizing when you're stuck and having the right tools to get unstuck.

Today, I want to share three reasons why we often find ourselves in this rut, as well as some valuable tips and tricks I've learned from wise mentors and coaches to help you break free quickly. Let's dive in and explore how you can get yourself unstuck to reach new heights in your business. Ready? Let's do it!



We’ll be talking about:

➡ [6:05] Realisation 

➡ [7:57] The thing about challenges is…

➡ [11:55] Importance of investing in yourself

➡ [15:10] Mentors vs coaches

➡ [16:56] Invest in time

What does it take to build a massive franchise from scratch? Tune into this episode as we have a little bit of fun, discovering what’s at the heart of the largest franchising chain in the Southern Hemisphere.

We recently had the honor and privilege of interviewing someone we've admired for many years: the incredible Jim Penman, one of Australia’s most iconic entrepreneurs, and founder of Jim's Mowing. If you're an Australian, you know exactly who we're talking about. If you're not, let me fill you in.

We're not going to spoil it all for you. Just grab your pen and paper because Jim drops a lot of golden nuggets in this episode. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the story of the incredible Jim Penman, founder of Jim's Mowing.

About our guest:

Jim is one of Australia’s most iconic entrepreneurs and founder of the largest franchising chain in the Southern Hemisphere.

While pursuing his history PhD at Latrobe University, Jim Penman quickly found that research in the area of his passion—epigenetics—would require a significant amount of money for such a massive research project, so Jim established a side gardening company. With a $24 investment, this became a full-time mowing service in 1982. 

With the success of the Jim’s Group, he was slowly able to start funding that research. Now, his team includes a full-time scholar and several graduate students at a La Trobe University lab with many academic papers published in renowned journals. Jim has written that research into his books including “Biohistory: Decline and Fall of the West.” Dr. Penman believes that a thorough examination of epigenetics will lead to a resolution of many of societies biggest challenges, including depression and obesity.

Over forty years later, the Jim’s Group has 48 divisions and more than 5,000 franchisees in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Jim’s most successful franchises include Jim’s Mowing, Jim’s Cleaning, and Jim’s Dog Wash.

Jim continues to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the company and is readily available to all of his franchisees as well as any customer with a significant complaint.

About our guest:

David Schmidt is the inventor of LifeWave technology and founder and CEO of LifeWave. David’s experience in business and product development spans over 30 years and includes a formal education in Management Information Systems and Biology at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. David then went on to pursue several entrepreneurial endeavors and, as a result, owned successful companies involved in manufacturing and product development. 

One of these companies, Advanced Applications Group, is a research and development center that specialized in energy-production technologies for both military and commercial applications. During his time with AAG, David developed new methods for producing hydrogen and oxygen, designed and prototyped multi-fueled, bladeless-turbine power generation systems, and constructed metal-combustion rocket engines.

The LifeWave Technology was born out of three years of intense research by David into the concept of being able to naturally increase energy and stamina through elevation of fat burning, utilizing wireless communication to the human body via phototherapy.
