I’m going to be a really helpful guy, and finish that sentence about being a successful franchisee.
****************************************************************************************************
To be a really successful franchise owner, you have to follow the rules. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
But, are you the type of person who can and will follow the rules?
The ability to follow the rules is more important than almost any other aspect of the business model of franchising. You could secure the best location for your business this side of the mighty Mississippi River, but if you won’t follow the rules...the business blueprint that you’ve invested your own money in, then a great franchise location won’t save you from financial ruin.
From a guest post I just did over at the Spring-Green franchise blog;
“If you happen to be searching for a franchise business, so that you have an opportunity to be your own boss, you’ll quickly realize that the model itself is set up as a win-win for both parties.”
Back to those “rules,” again;

A gentle tip from The Franchise King®:
Do not buy a franchise until you know EXACTLY how to do thorough research.

“You, as the franchisee, must have absolute faith in the franchisor. You must believe in your heart that the franchisor has created a fantastic system that’s easy to follow, and really easy to implement.”
You have to believe. Then follow. Read the rest of rules.
