Change is on the Horizon 

Each day I am hearing of more franchise businesses that are re-opening and who are bringing on brand new franchisees.  This is exciting news in light of the current situation.  We are a strong nation who is starting to see our cities and states reopen.

I came across a great quote recently “Change will come our way.  We can go through it or we can grow through it.  We grow when we seek out solutions rather than let obstacles hinder us” by George Couros, educator, and Innovative Teaching author.

His timing couldn’t be more perfect.  We are all finding ourselves dealing with some amount of change.

What does your change look like?  Is now the time to change your future?  Is pursuing the dream of business ownership on the horizon?  Don’t let obstacles hinder you.

Regardless of whether you choose to open your own business or become a franchise owner, researching early on is the single most important step in making your decision.

  • What business?
  • Is there a market?
  • Can you afford it?
  • Can you make enough money to make it worthwhile?

As your franchise consultant, I am here to provide guidance and support as you navigate your way through the process.  Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss things further.

I represent a large variety of franchise brands including essential franchises that work during the Pandemic.

These businesses are recession-proof and have strong ROI and profit margins.  Contact me for more information at 281.642.8280.

You’re Awesome!

Are you scared of taking chances and doing what truly makes you happy, so you often conform to other people’s opinions just to fit in?

Happiness is what everyone should achieve in life, while avoiding stressful situations, uncomfortable emotions, and challenging obstacles.

Always be happy, because having any other emotion is unnatural.

Excerpt from the Best Motivational Article Ever written by Phil Janecic, MIND OF STEEL

I know these are crazy times, but I wanted you to be aware of how the government could substantially help you.

What this means is that if you want to own a franchise now, you can get the first six months of your payment (loan and interest) FORGIVEN! That is, you do not have to pay the first six months of monthly notes on your business. You do not have to pay this EVER! This program ends September 27, 2020.

Franchising vs. Start-up

As a franchise consultant I’m frequently asked, “What are the benefits of purchasing a franchise versus a start-up”?  There are many, however some of the ones that are at the top of the list are:

  • Proven system of operation – An attractive feature of most franchises is that they have a proven system of operation. This system has been developed and refined over time by the franchisor.
  • Name recognition – Established franchisors can offer a national or regional name recognition.
  • Management assistance – A franchisor provides management assistance to their franchisees. This may include accounting procedures, personnel management, facility management, etc.
  • Developing a business plan – Most franchisors help franchisees develop a business plan. Many elements of the plan are standard operating procedures that have already been established by the franchisor. Other parts of the plan are customized to the needs of the franchisee.

In addition to the above, franchisees are provided assistance with financing, marketing and general start-up.

The experience of the franchisor’s management team increases the potential for success.  This experience is often conveyed through formal instruction and on-the-job training.

Contact me to discuss this in more detail and to learn how franchising may be a great fit into your long-term goals.

Valentine Quotes

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.– Anais Nin

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.–Helen Keller

It is about the BRAND?

written by Natalie Barnes, president of Business Alliance, Inc.

Why do people buy a franchise? It may be emotionally driven related to the food or it may relate to a personal experience with the brand. Whatever the reason, taking the plunge to owning a franchise business means you may want one or many of the below reasons:

  • Work – Life Balance
  • More flexibility
  • Financial gain
  • The ability to give back in your community
  • Create a family legacy
  • More control

What do we do? We understand YOUR WHY! And we don’t look at the brand. Our focus is the model, the role of the owner, and if it is a model that can connect your financial goals to your lifestyle goals! The questions we ask will NOT cover the food you like, where you take your car, or any specific brand! It will be about the business model relating to revenue streams, who are your customers, the value proposition, the key players, and costs; just to name a few.

You must believe in your brand. But START with the business model and end with the brand! You may be pleasantly surprised!

FIXED MINDSET VS. GROWTH MINDSET

We’ve all heard that there are two types of people in this world, but the statement is usually followed by a punchline. According to former Harvard psychology professor Carol Dweck and a book she wrote on the subject, people really do fall into two groups: those with a fixed mindset and those with a growth mindset. Mindset is powerful. It can be limiting or expanding, which can impact a person’s entire perception of their pursuits and determine what they accomplish. This is particularly interesting when exploring these concepts in the context of business ownership.

If you own your own business or aspire to, here’s what you need to know about fixed mindset vs. growth mindset.

If a person has a fixed mindset, they believe the qualities that make up their personality and abilities are fixed, or they can’t be altered or changed. A person with a growth mindset believes that they can evolve over time.

Many aspiring or current entrepreneurs are choosing to become franchisees because of the support and growth mindset of the Franchisor.

Value is the Key to Building Relationships

Leaders can improve relationships by understanding their personal value and finding ways to show other they are valued, writes John Maxwell.  “You invite people into relationship when you as a leader regularly serve others, are quick with a kind word, and are first to encourage someone.”  Read more!


1,2,3, GraphicThe Measurable Value of the Franchise Consultant

written by Natalie Barnes, president of Business Alliance, Inc.

Is there measurable value when it comes to working with a franchise consultant to find a franchise? Make sure the time spent with a franchise consultant brings direct value to you. And that value should be measurable!  Here are THREE areas that are measurable when it comes to working with a good franchise consultant:

Red bar graphicONE:

We only have so much time in a day. A good franchise consultant will save you time! They will only show you companies that fit your goals. If they don’t, you will know right away and you move on! Our BAI franchise consultants listen, understand you, and focus on alignment of your goals to the franchise company. A win-win for all!

Short Blue bar divider TWO:

Which is better; one concept or a few hundred? Our BAI franchise consultants represent a few hundred franchise companies. They are not focused on one brand or one industry. They are focused on you and come from an unbiased perspective!

Red bar graphicTHREE:

Relationships matter! Now, this may be subjective but it is measurable! The franchise consultant will develop a relationship with you to understand YOU. They will show you franchise companies or industries you may not have thought of or concepts that are out of the box! The results lead to finding the RIGHT franchise that will meet YOUR goals! Now that is measurable!

Are You Seeking The Hottest Franchise?

(c) Can Stock Photo / alexmillosAs a franchise coach, I am often asked, “What is the hottest franchise?”

The answer is one that most people don’t like, “Well, it depends.”  What may be  a good franchise good for your brother Joe may not be good for you.  You may have different requirements, different dreams and different goals than your brother Joe.

So, how do you find the “best” franchise for you?  Most of our clients ask this question:

What is a good franchise that I enjoy, and that will work well in my market and for my life?

When I Googled, what is the hottest franchise, my search returned a lot of companies advertising all sorts of brands.  It was more gloss than substance.  You want to move beyond the gloss and ask these six questions:

  1. How much does it really cost?
  2. Will it work in my market?
  3. Can I still have the lifestyle I want?
  4. How much money will it make and when can I start making it?
  5. What type of support will I get?
  6. How stable is the franchise for long term growth and development?

Where Do You Start

To find a good franchise that works will in your market and for your life, start with yourself.  Write down the pros and cons of your last three jobs.  This will give you an idea of what you like.  Ask friends and family to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.  You can also use our free business assessment to learn more.

Click here to start our free business assessment.

Funding

Visit with a good financial advisor, banker or 401K rollover specialist.  Learn what your options are for funding your new business.  It is always best to put together a plan of both your personal and business financial goals.  You want to be able to afford the business, as well as pay your personal bills, as the franchise starts to build and grow.

Your Market Area

Use data to understand your market better.  A good resource is www.citydata.com.  Notice the salaries in the area and the distribution of commercial versus residential.  Notice the average age of the residents in your area.

Family

Does your family support your decision to buy a franchise?  Most everyone has bought a house or car.  Buying this kind of business is a much bigger decision even though franchises are highly successful.  Your family needs to be involved and support you.  Ask these three questions.

  1. If we buy a business, will you support me?
  2. What type of support will we give one another to make this new business work?
  3. Who will do what if a family member wants to be actively involved in the business?
  4. And, finally, do you all agree on the overall budget for the business? Do your homework on funding.

Learn to Involve Subject Matter Experts (SME)

Are you an “Unconscious Incompetent?” Do you know what you don’t know? This is where SMEs can be handy.

Your SMEs should be a good franchise coach, accountant, franchise attorney and banker. Do your due diligence on the business. (Investigate the business long before you write a check)

There is a lot to due diligence.  But speaking with the other franchisees (owners) in the franchise system is where you will uncover a wealth of good solid information including true earnings, challenges and rewards of owning this business.

“Other factors to consider when deciding on a franchise: how long locations have been open, net
location openings in any given year; and growth potential of the concept’s given industry. Finally,
investors should talk to established franchisees in the system.”  The Street

What is the hottest franchise?  It is one that fits you, one you can afford and one in which you have completed your due diligence.

Right Franchising helps our clients with finding the right franchise for them and then we provide all the tools to help them complete a thorough due diligence on the franchise.  We prevent costly mistakes.  And, most importantly, we help our clients make well-informed decisions.

A Veteran, a Franchise, and His Mother – Part III Evaluating

Part III:  Evaluating a Franchise Opportunity

Evaluating - Thumbs Up Thumbs DownBefore we talk about evaluating, let’s look back at Bill’s journey to find the right franchise for him:

Right Franchising presented four solid secure franchises that fit Bill’s criteria, investment range and his passion for a business.

Next step:  Evaluating the franchises that are a good match for Bill.

So, how do you evaluate a franchise?  Most people find this a daunting task and one in which they have little or no experience.

Let’s take it one step at a time:

Step 1:  Learn More About Your Preferred Franchise

Right Franchising will schedule a call with the right person for each franchise.  This will help us take a deeper dive into the details of each franchise.

Have you thought about the questions you should ask of each franchise?  Right Franchising suggests the following:

  1. What is unique about the product and services this franchise offers?
  2. What are the long term goals & growth strategy of your company?
  3. Tell me about how you will help me attract customers or clients.
  4. Tell me about the training and help in the field I’ll need.
  5. How much working capital will I need? What do you suggest?

Step 2:  The Franchise Disclosure Document.

Some of my clients refer to this as a good “door stop” document.  You will receive a federal document that has some great information in it but it is “HUGE.”    Most can be anywhere from 300 to 800 pages or more!

So, how do you take a bite out of this part of the elephant?

Next month, we will discuss Step 2 of evaluating a franchise —The Franchise Disclosure Document.   I will show you the best kept secret about how to quickly go through this document and get the information you are seeking.

To find the right franchise for you and make an informed decision, please email Gayle@RightFranchising.com for a free consultation.
