Ep. 23 - Escaping the 9-to-5 Trap: How He Did It (And How You Can Too) ft. Adam Ahmed
In this episode, we have Adam Ahmed, a former compliance officer turned Jim’s Building Inspections franchisee, who now helps everyday Aussies make smarter property decisions through honest guidance and a love for construction.
Adam talks about why he walked away from the security of a government job to pursue something more meaningful, how a single gap he noticed in the construction industry sparked his business idea, and the reason he chose a franchise model over starting from scratch.
He also discusses the mindset shifts that helped him push past fear and take the leap, how he used a simple SWOT analysis to map out his transition, and the overlooked power of using negative thoughts as fuel for positive results.
If you want to break free from a soul-sucking 9-to-5, turn your skills into a business that actually helps people, and make a career move you won’t regret, then make sure to listen to this episode!
