Move To Australia

Let’s say that my powers of persuasion didn’t work on you, and you’re still hell-bent on moving to Australia to become the owner of a franchise. Fine. I have some tips…

Actually, David Wilson does. But first, he lays the franchise model out nicely;

“On paper, because its structure has been road-tested, a franchise is a money-making machine. In theory, any dropkick can run one successfully – all anyone has to do is get on with it – execute, exploiting the turnkey convenience.”

I like this guy already. He continues…

“Almost a quarter of Australian franchise owners squabble with their parent company, often taking legal action, according to a Franchising Australia 2010 report. Find out what mindset you need to avoid bust-ups and make franchise ownership work for you. Above all, experts agree, stick with the programme – there’s a reason you never see yellow arches painted pink.”

David understands franchising. Do you?

• Do you understand that there are no guarantees?
• Do you understand that you have to follow the rules?
• Do you understand that you’ll need massive amounts of energy to be successful?

I hope so. In the meantime, check out The 10 Traits That a Franchisee Needs, Aussie style.
