Huge. Ask anyone who's done it. Buying a franchise and " Thinking about buying a franchise" are vastly different. They're as different as: Pink Floyd And Barry Manilow Sunny and Cloudy A smart car and an Expedition A superpower and a wanna-be superpower A franchise consultant and a franchise advisor Difference Between Buying A Franchise And "Thinking About Buying A Franchise" It's one thing to "look" at a few different franchise opportunities. There's really no

The ABC’s Of Finding A Franchise You Can Make Stacks of Cash Owning
Stacks Of Cash. That's what you want. You want to find a profitable franchise opportunity. You're willing to risk some of your cash-to do it...to be your own boss. You're even willing to potentially take heat from your family if things don't quite work out. And, you're willing to take a short-term hit to your income in order to potentially build equity in a business you can call your own. You have the courage of a lion. You have more courage than most people. I think it's great, and
Are You Starting To Have Really Sick Thoughts About What You’d Like To Do To Your Boss?
I hated several of my bosses. Especially the verbally abusive, hot-tempered ones. I'll admit I had some pretty sick thoughts about what I wanted to do to them. (Not that I would have ever gone through with any of them of course.) But sick thoughts nevertheless. It's one thing to absolutely hate your job; it's quite another to hate a boss. It's much more personal. Feel me? I thought so. Maybe It's Not About Your Boss It's brutal to be in an uncomfortable a horrible
Ray Kroc: The Entrepreneur Who Built The McDonald’s Franchise
Ray Kroc was a true entrepreneur. He knew he was on to something after seeing the McDonald brothers' hamburger restaurant in action. Ray Kroc Is My Personal (Business) Hero Ray (Raymond Albert Kroc) is my personal franchise business hero. He's someone who should be a hero to everyone who is part of the franchise industry. Franchise owners everywhere owe Ray a debt of gratitude. Because without Ray Kroc, the franchise industry probably wouldn't exist. Or, if it did, it wouldn't be
Buying A Franchise: Fighting About Money
I grabbed the text below from my book, Become A Franchise Owner! "Over the years, I’ve actually been involved in a few mild arguments with prospective franchise buyers who didn’t feel that it was important for me to know about their financial situation. Admittedly, I’m not the most patient person when people who have requested my guidance refuse -- for some strange reason -- to give me the information I need to do my job properly. I do completely get how some people may be a little leery about
You Don’t Have To
You don't have to. (Buy a franchise) It's perfectly okay to just look around a bit. I really don't blame you. Job security is almost non-existent these days. If you're employed, and you're really good at what you do, you can lose your job in a split second. Talent only goes so far these days. If you've been downsized, and you're say...51 years old, I really don't blame you for wanting to explore "other options." If you're 22 years old, and just graduated college (congrats!)
The Real Poop On Having Passion For Your Business
You only think you need to have passion for your business. That’s because you’ve probably heard it said-or have read about it somewhere. Heard what? Read what? This: “You need to have passion for your business in order for it to be successful.” It’s a lie. A big, fat one. Picking Up The Real Poop Did you know that you could pay someone to clean up your dog’s poop? Better yet, did you know that there are several franchises that specialize in that
Are Franchise Owners Making Enough Money?
You need answers. You have to have them before you take your checkbook out. You have to have them before you make what could be a 10-year commitment. You have to have them so you can be convinced that the franchise you’re really, really serious about is the right one for you. But, the answers you’re seeking…they won’t be found unless you know what questions to ask. What 40 questions to ask, actually. One more thing: You have to know how to ask them as well as when to ask
When Should You Ask Franchisees About Their Bank Accounts?
If you want to improve your chances of success as a franchisee, you're going to have to ask some pretty bold questions during your research. Especially when it comes to The Money. I know that you want to know how much you'll make if you buy a specific franchise. I also know that you're not sure if you'll get truthful answers to your questions. But you will...if you do what I suggest. The first thing you need to do is ignore the advice of paranoid attorneys. When Should
When Do You Break-Even In A Franchise?
Getting to break-even. That needs to be your 1st goal. Got it? When Do You Break-Even In A Franchise? You're not going to feel very good about things until... You get to break-even in your start-up franchise business. That's because pouring money into your new business-without much coming in, is no fun. But, when money does start to flow into your franchise business, your entire outlook on things will change. And, when your revenue increases-consistently, things
