Future Franchise Owners Are Really Starting To Worry Me

joel libava is very worried

I haven’t been sleeping too well the last few weeks.

Maybe it’s:

  • The fact that it gets dark at 5:30 pm
  • The winter season
  • The idiots in Washington D.C.
  • Everyday worries
  • My age

Or…

This

 

Future Franchise Owners Are Really Starting To Worry Me

That’s right.

The people I serve…the people I’ve been:

All of them are starting to worry me. Especially the ones that have been taking my free franchise quiz lately.

Would you like to know why?

Would you like to know why I’m blaming some of them for my lack of sleep?

 

They Want To Do It Alone

I know. Isn’t that crazy? With no support at all.

More than a few people (who have been taking my free franchise quiz as of late) have expressed their desire to choose, research and buy a franchise business- a possible $250,000 investment, all by themselves.

Alone.

Because they can “handle it.”

Really?

They know that, how?

 

They Don’t Have To Do It Alone

There is so much information on franchising available these days. You can learn how to buy a franchise in a variety of places.

Much of this information includes recommendations on how to buy a franchise.

One recommendation: Work with professionals.

 

Oh Joel

I know what you’re thinking.

Joelyou’re only trying to scare people so they’ll purchase your services.

Not really. (See. I didn’t even link to my services page. I could have, you know!)

I am however, trying to point out (in my usual, gentle way) that buying a franchise alone-without working with people who have either been franchise owners themselves, or who are industry professionals, is not very smart. There are way  too many things that can go wrong. There are way too many things that can be missed. That’s why it’s important to get the best franchise advice.

There is something else, though.

Watch the short franchise video (below) I just produced to find out what it is.

While you’re doing that, I’m going to take a quick power nap.

I haven’t been sleeping too well.
