Can You Become a Local Franchise Superhero?
If you’ve read this far, I’ll assume that you’re interested in becoming a local (franchise) Superhero.
All you have to do now is buy a franchise business, open it in your local area, hire some employees, and grow it into something substantial. Then, you’ll be able to expand by opening a second location, hire even more local residents as employees, and start setting your sites on a third franchise location.
And, you’ll do this in under three years time. Are you ready for the challenge?
1. You’ll need courage, because your local banker may challenge your assumptions.
2. You’ll need a good bit of your own money. See #1
3. You’ll need to have management experience to know how to hire and train employees
4. You’ll need your local connections to help you get your 1st customers
5. You’ll need aggressiveness to focus on opening your 2nd and 3rd locations
