Megasealed is Australia’s first shower repair and waterproofing company to offer franchising in the niche sector, and their 33 franchises have all reported significant growth over the past 12 months.

Managing Director Jacques Courtin recently appeared on Ticker News to discuss the company’s success through these difficult circumstances.

“We were one of the few businesses that were able to grow because people were working from home and having tradespeople visit,” Courtin discussed.

“We already had a good template to grow, and (business conditions) made things better.”

Courtin reveals how he came up with the product that has served his business – and customers – well.

“I discovered that many of our clients, early on, were not needing to have shower tiles ripped up to fix their leaking issue,” Courtin adds. “It was as simple as re-applying epoxy grout, and that is how Megasealed was born.”

“The product was so good that the client was able to shower the next day, which is a success for us.”

Megasealed recently celebrated a major milestone – 25 years in business. Courtin reveals that having a family culture has been the only way to successfully grow.

“Looking out for our clients and our franchisees has seen us develop into who we are today,” the Managing Director pointed out. “I want to keep growing our numbers and building out the business.”

Skilled professionals and entrepreneurs are facing impostor syndrome amidst increasing workforce demands.

A growing number of professionals and entrepreneurs are grappling with the overwhelming effects of impostor syndrome, fostering hidden feelings of inadequacy and fear of exposure despite their competence.

According to a recent study by Calabasus in 2021, a staggering 65% of professionals suffer from impostor syndrome, shedding light on the pervasive nature of this issue.

However, despite its prevalence, impostor syndrome remains one of the least discussed yet most impactful challenges facing professionals today, as highlighted by research from KPMG.
