Franchise Contest Announcement!

That’s correct. You heard it right.  #OWOF

I’m looking for a woman.

One woman who’s ready to make a commitment.

 
A commitment to Become a Franchise Owner!

To help celebrate the launch of my franchise book…

I’m going to help one lucky lady learn how to choose, research, and buy a franchise business! 

One Woman. One Franchise. #OWOF

_______________________

My industry could use a few more women franchisees.

I know first hand, just how well women do as franchise owners. I’ve worked with dozens of them before, and I hope to work with dozens more as their franchise ownership advisor.

So, I want to get the ball rolling, and start things off by helping one woman become a franchise owner. And, it’s not just me that will be helping the winner from start to finish.

Look who’s sponsoring #OWOF

This is Not for The Meek

If you’re a woman who’s been thinking about becoming the owner of a franchise business, read on. This is cool.

There’s one thing that you need to know before you learn more about my Royal offer; we’re going to do it in public. (Guys…get your mind out of the gutter right now.  Jason Falls-I’m talking to you!)

What I mean by, “In public” is this; everything that we do together is going to be reported on…blogged about…constantly. Everyone who’s following me on Twitter, all of my fans on Facebook, the small business influencers who submit really useful information over at bizSugar.com, hundreds of people over at LinkedIn, plus hundreds more who follow me and expect nothing but top-notch franchise business content on several other social media networking sites.

And my 1,000+ almost-weekly VIP Newsletter Subscribers.

National Media Outlets May Even Cover This Franchise Contest For Women.

How it Works 

If you’re serious about changing the way your life’s been going, and you feel that becoming your own boss is the thing that you must do, I’m going to work with you at no charge.

(My services start at $295 for a one hour consultation.) I’ll be spending several hours with you during this promotion. ($1500+ value)

I’m going to teach you exactly how to become the owner of a franchise business.

You’re going to learn;

• How to ascertain what types of franchises you should take a serious look at

• How to determine your real financial capability

• Where to find these franchise gems

• How to gather all of the essential information you’ll need

• How to do absolutely amazing franchise research

• Where to get help for your franchise business plan

• How to get a decent franchise loan

• How to find a franchise attorney that will protect you

• How to make a fact-based yes or no decision

These are typically things that my clients get when they pay for my franchise ownership advisory services. But not you…
