Our summer seasonal teams have been taking advantage of the great fall weather, providing as many high quality services to our clients as possible. We鈥檙e working against time at the moment and thankfully it has seemed to be on our side for the majority of the month! For our year-round and winter seasonal businesses, October and November will continue to ramp up. (Which we鈥檙e absolutely loving!)

As October is coming to a close, we鈥檙e very excited to announce that our October Charity of the Month is (DRIFCan)! 5% of the sales made by all of our home service companies on Charity Day (which is tomorrow!) will go directly to DRIFCan, supporting their cause.听

About DRIFCan

DRIFCan describes their mission as the following:听

“The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation Canada (DRIFCan) mission is to accelerate the cure for diabetes by directly funding world renowned diabetes researcher Dr. James Shapiro and his team at the University of Alberta. All funds raised stay right here in Edmonton. Our goal is to be a 90/10 foundation, where 90% of all funds raised go directly to cure based research. We are happy to report that in 2021 we were able to achieve this goal. Dr. Shapiro is well known for the , which is islet cell transplantation, and is now being done in 30 countries around the world and all those centers came to Edmonton to be trained by the team here. His latest research is now stem cell research, he is working on taking stem cells from your own blood and gene editing to become insulin producing cells. He is currently having success in mice and next steps in human trials.鈥�

The work that are doing at the University of Alberta is changing lives across the globe. Having the chance to support this incredible initiative and help people with type 1 diabetes to have a cure is very meaningful to our team here at Mosaic.

Generally, businesses all around the world can be categorized into three major buckets.听

There are businesses that make things, like Volkswagen, Apple, and Samsung. These businesses are infrastructure heavy, often rely on global supply chains, and require research and development to stay at the forefront of their industries.

There are businesses that sell things, like Amazon, Alibaba, and Home Depot. These businesses are marketing mavericks who often make very slim margins by reselling high volumes of someone else鈥檚 products to consumers and businesses. These companies must be masters of efficiency, and are always finding ways to decrease the cost of distribution.

Then there are businesses that do things, like Deloitte, Uber, and your local neighborhood window washer. These businesses deliver value to their consumers largely by selling labor, and the ones who do it best recognize that what听 they鈥檙e actually selling their customer is time.

The Home Services Industry

The home services industry is largely made up of businesses that are great at doing things, and are generally led by entrepreneurs who seek to develop companies that have a reputation of superior service. In 2016, 缅北禁地 was born with a similar goal 鈥� to acquire, scale, and franchise businesses in the home services industry. The 缅北禁地 family recognized that the true value of what a home service business sells is the time a consumer doesn鈥檛 have to spend completing that service themselves.

Joe the window washer, Sally the maid, and Jennifer the painter are all exceptional in their trades. They鈥檝e spent years perfecting their techniques, honing their skills, and building their businesses to dominate their local home services industry. A hard truth about their businesses though is that anyone can wash a window, clean a home, or paint a wall, even their customers. The average homeowner might not do it as quickly or as well, but at the end of the day they absolutely could go to the store, buy the materials, and spend their weekend doing the project on their own. Oftentimes this fact drives entrepreneurs in the home service industry to constantly discount in an attempt to win business, and as a result they often wind up performing the service themselves instead of hiring staff and growing a sustainable company. These entrepreneurs often build their home service business on their own backs, and, as a result, when they seek to eventually exit their business they realize that there is no inherent value for anyone to purchase; they literally are their business.

缅北禁地 partners with entrepreneurs in the home service sector with the goal of helping them grow a sustainable business that can be expanded using a franchise model. These entrepreneurs often need help developing sustainable systems, financing to expand in employees and space, and acquiring new customers that are willing to pay a sustainable price. Since 2016, 缅北禁地 has invested in 10 businesses in the home services sector, leveraging their strengths to build centralized marketing, customer service, sales, and finance teams that deliver services to each of the brands. Since their inception, 缅北禁地 has franchised 2 brands into new Western Canadian markets, bringing their unique services into entirely new markets.

People First

The home services industry is right for us because of the three major business 鈥榖uckets,鈥� it鈥檚 the only model that鈥檚 predicated on people first. Put simply, 缅北禁地 cannot succeed without helping people. 缅北禁地 helps entrepreneurs build better businesses, we help homeowners save time, and we help our team members build meaningful careers. There are plenty of pro鈥檚 and con鈥檚 to the other major business 鈥榖uckets,鈥� but, for the team at 缅北禁地, people trump all. The home services industry is full of inspiring, passionate people who aim to deliver the best service in their local communities, and that鈥檚 a mission 缅北禁地 can get behind.
