Be a Good Sport like Browny
The Lions co-captain is applying his handy work to Good Sports Home Services – a handyman, car wash and maintenance service with a difference.
The brainchild of Brown’s cousin and state league footballer Shaun ‘Mugsy’ Mugavin, Good Sports Home Services stemmed from Mugavin’s own Mugsy’s Mowing business which operated with great success around Queensland from 2006.
After almost two years of operation, Mugavin found he wanted to offer a greater range of services to his clients and provide an opportunity for fellow athletes to make money in a flexible and lucrative way.
So he enlisted the services of his cousin Brown and Morningside Panthers team mate Jacob Gough to create a unique home based business concept – Australia’s first 3-in-1 home services business.
The basis behind the name ‘Good Sports’ is that the owners are passionate about giving something back to the local sports community to help create future sporting champions like the ones supporting the business.
Therefore, a percentage of each franchisees turnover goes directly to a local sporting club of their choice. They really are ‘Good Sports’!
The home services business presents an affordable alternative for people requiring home maintenance services while providing opportunities for teams or individuals to start their own lucrative business outside of their sporting careers. Although a Good Sports franchise is available to anyone wanting to join the team, it is well suited to athletes who want to work their own hours while still playing and training for the sport they love.
“We’d all love to play footy until we’re 50 years old I suppose, but that just doesn’t happen,” Brown said. “So a lot of guys these days are trying to get themselves set up in something to do after their footy career”.
“The best part is that a percentage of what they do goes back to supporting grass roots footy.”
New franchisees are guaranteed $1000/wk from day one and don’t need any experience in the industry as full training is provided; both operationally, and also how to run and maintain a successful business. Operators make over $40/hr and can pick and choose their own hours. The best part though is the regular get togethers; and Browny has even promised to drop into a few!
Good Sports is offering $500 off the usual franchise price for all Lions members PLUS anybody who comes on board in 2008 goes in the draw to have their investment paid back at the end of the year!
"It makes sense to me to support the companies that support my industry. I know when I use Good Sports Home Services a portion of what I pay goes towards supporting the local sports teams. It’s a great concept," he said.
While Brown is currently the most notable celebrity ambassador for the concept, the company plans to have at least one high profile representative for each sport they associate with. Dual-hockey-Olympian Nikki Hudson is on the list, as well as highly decorated Ironman, Hayden Smith, both of whom were eager to support and join the Good Sports team.
The business is already pleasing thousands of clients and it’s no wonder considering Good Sports guarantees its results and will beat any quoted price by 10%.
Browny and his team look forward to helping you out off the field. 02.09.2008
