You will be a success if you don't really fit



I am not kidding. Is not a matter of if. It's a matter of how hard. Don't buy a franchise just because it's a franchise. Buy a franchise because you feel that you have a very good control over what it will take to make it a success for you. Forget all the statistics. Forget the fact that it is the largest business model ever invented. But, don't forget that success is not automatic. It is a fair question? Has a setting to do business very rigid?


If you hit the "Yes" button, it should say that you have a long history of following the rules. But, if you do not, why would you hit it? Does he hit because you are "well" with the rules? Or you hit this button because you will follow the rules, and you are used to doing this? Do not press button "Yes" because you were reduced to 10 months ago-and you are looking for a job has reached new lows.Do not press button "Yes" because you have the ability to follow the rules ... but only in certain cases.Do not press button "Yes" because you feel that if you don't do something, you'll lose it. If you press "no", we are making.


If you buy a franchise-and you should never have, it is hell to get out of it. As a matter of fact, there really is no leave a franchise. As soon as you sign your contract, your franchise agreement is compromised. It's not like you can call one of the franchise executives at Headquarters and tell them that you would like a refund, because "things just are not working as planned."


You can file this nutty idea in the folder "'ll never to happen" located at the top of his dresser. And, feel free to ask your local neighbourhood franchise attorney what was your experience with customers who wanted to make a clean exit from their franchise business. Now, I don't want you to get the impression that franchising is evil. Is not.


The rocks of the franchise industry.


It's just that you signed a legal document. And, this document clearly states that you are legally obliged to operate your business for 5-10 years.


Official franchise agreement example



"Except otherwise provided for in the agreement, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement, the term of this agreement is 10 ten years from the date on which the Office first open for business or such month under time provided for rental or sublet to facilities."


This is one hell of a sentence. (Looks like a paragraph for me, too.) And, you would take a hell of a "hit" If you don't honor your franchise agreement. (Translation: If you walked away from your business.) This is because unless you were able to sell their franchise to someone, (which would have to be approved by your franchisor) you would still be required to pay for marketing, advertising, rent, your small business loan, royalties, ... everything. So, make sure that you are a fit for franchise ownership. So, you won't have to take a hit. Invest a little money now, so that you don't have to later.

The new format of the sales.



Although this is not strictly a franchise. I think I'm going to post on this blog, which I am sure there are many small business owners have come and that it actually annoyed me this week.

I'm talking about the new format of sales of all people destroy what you are doing in trying to sell their own products or services. Examples that have been in the past with people criticising my website and say "I can improve it. However, during the holidays. Someone copied the personality, and said he could improve with his "training solution"

Solve anything though-I almost bought this service if I have been incredibly rude emails like that off him this new form of Grrrr I sell really annoys me-just who these people think.

So really this is a warning to small business owners. Don't go myself if it happens to them. These people are not exactly good!!

Does anyone have experience with these types of sales. What do you think?

English franchise series.



Get packing and books from the British Franchise Association today and have a very interesting book, review the information, and through the things you need to consider to start the registration rafraen franchise, but I am somewhat annoyed that the BFA will also attach a copy of the book, so I've got to pack franchisor-the second copy.

In the Pack there, and there are some things that are useful, including a video about how the ideas franchise. Not sure if I have money, but.

Not reserved to Natwest franchise seminar in Birmingham yesterday, too, which is October 18 is the time (it is 9 a.m.-18.00 p.m. 22.45 22.45 and Birmingham to me while walking), but it should be useful.

I feel very disappointed today. Don't look like a typical response to any research on anything quite so much and go to another store to get the information you need.

It should be used to discuss the franchise



I said this week there were aware of, but that his business is franchised. He used to discuss the franchise stores, everything, and it made me wonder if I should have one too.

Looking back, I would have to say that I'm going to answer this question did not agree what he has probably long without consulting franchise, but there are more and more businesses work more efficiently because I have time to think of how to do this correctly. And I will never be able to afford either one. The cost of the use of consultants, the franchise has been very high.


Once franchisees get on board ... Yes, it might be faster than using outside help, but preparing a replacement cost, time savings, plus learn which I got from doing this from within. Who knows if we will regret saying this in the future, but for now I do not regret not using external consultants.

Another view of the franchise.



I was really excited after the end of the last week in response to user activity, network with franchised business training. I managed to talk with him at the break to find out if he had made it.

The first thing he said to me "it 's". You don't think that is the way life khanto racer. He's done everything that I've done "-put in the Guide to practice and training, but he has made by any external assistance and it didn't cost him money. The only thing he found to do this was that one of the franchisees, he said, he said he needed to edit the Guide, it was written for him. So that is what he is.


He considers his franchisees enter Guest House in the mail every day, and in the end, five on board were meeting franchisees monthly and training and he is really happy with. Great to hear success stories stories like that and feel really motivated.

To date, network activity, and met with the owner of a business that has been described as he has expanded his business. How he described sounded-but when someone said nafraen franchise, but just as the franchise that he very quickly to say that it does not franchise. This is not a time for other business owners said the franchise that has expanded into many ears does not even have a franchise. Anyone know why this is is...does franchise name that is not valid or not.

While the bulbs.



This blog has not been in a while, so I think it is time for an update from October 6, I found someone else who interests the franchise. We talk (a lot), She has an agreement and will go to the Bank, but only with a loan for franchise-really anywhere in the contract. Then, during a Feb. 7 I call from her saying she has changed her mind (sounds familiar). I arranged to meet her and talk it over, but her heart is set on a working business training, and this one is not.


So that is two people, then yah near signed and will fall through the final minutes. I felt quite gutted about this, and someone asked me the other day that it was, and they told me to say it. I think that the franchise's people buy what they can't do. With no training-the number significantly, so can't go off and start their own business in this field as there is no knowledge. While my lamp is the victim that perhaps I did not make my tight enough to make people realize that they cannot make the franchise manual.


These last couple weeks. I have been working on how to tighten my comfort and soon (I hope), I'll support it-watch this space. At the same time. I would really appreciate the ideas, comments and suggestions, why do you think the potential franchisees are committed to and then change your mind last minute – don't know if my assumptions above are correct, but it would be nice to hear thoughts.

Why I do not believe that people ...



Franchise business think of wedding preparation When you have your own wedding. You try to pass on this experience to the people who are getting married and would like to know ... do yourself. When they did, even if they are, then they will benefit from your experience. If only they had listened ...

As well as the franchise. Many people are trying to tell you something, when I first started looking into this, and I don't believe now, I have found everything they told me it was actually like, you should sell a franchise, like you have on your sales of goods and services. – Is the same process. Just another product of the hard work, getting people on board.

Having said that, I feel like I've lost in a hell of a journey this year and learned a lot, so that wasn't too bad, and even if it was hard times, hopefully it will be worth it in the end.

What is a franchise.



I have spoken to a couple of friends last weekend and one of them said to me-"so now you have your franchised business, but that doesn't exactly make a franchise work? She actually has a very good point, and I think that might be a good idea to summarise the facts.

The most famous franchise is one of the fast food chains like McDonalds or Burger King, but the franchise is better than all of the 800 world franchise (who uses the franchise.) Running your own business, and they can do the job in General, the way they want to, but they would also have been tried and tested systems (processes, procedures, training, support, etc.) from the franchisor (franchised business people) to help you get set up quickly and easily, because the system is less a franchise opportunity that will fail in the new business.

As the franchisor has place in this format of the franchise fee will be paid to acquire it. For this They will get access to the system and the right to operate a business under a name that is already in the area (which may be across the country within the territory or just within a few postcodes depending on the franchise). In addition, the franchise will have to pay a small fee ongoing training and support. Normal monthly.

The franchise business model in all and can give people thinking about starting their own business relatively risk-free way to do this. Without having to go through the hard work, setting up a company from scratch.

Liberty tax service franchise



"With 4,500 offices in 2013, freedom is currently the third largest tax franchise in the world." Finance Services of freedom founder and CEO, John Hewitt, is a name recognized in the accounting and tax world. Hewitt is the founder of two top tax preparation companies and was a former regional director H R Block &. Accounting today magazine has annually named one of top 100 most influential people in the accounting profession.


If you are a franchisee of a company that has a CEO with the huge name recognition, is definitely a plus. (Disclosure: the franchisor I was with had a contract with liberty tax services, so that they were in our portfolio of companies that were allowed to present to our franchise candidates.) I met John Hewitt, when I was a franchise broker. He spoke at a meeting of my national franchisors. I was not impressed with Hewitt at all ... and it's the thing-I was hoping to be ... because I love hearing about smart people. I love to learn with people who "made."


But, in the case of Hewitt, there was something about it that just don't "feel" for me. Maybe it was how it came about ... his personality. I really don't remember him saying anything specific in your presentation that turned me off of anything like that. I just haven't had good vibes the guy. And, I always trust my intuition. Always. Freedom (like most tax preparation franchises) is a franchise business opportunity low investment. According to your website's franchise, the investment for a franchise Office ranges from $ 56,800-$ 69, 900. (Add some working capital for this figure, as is not included in the start-up costs listed).


In addition, there are a limited number of development opportunities. Whether you're looking to own and control a whole area and you like the idea of receiving a portion of both the initial franchise fees and continuing royalties, is an option that you may want to explore.


Liberty Tax Service franchisees deliver the services tax preparation-but supposedly don't have to have the tax experience. but they must be good people managers. This is because the franchisees have a lot of employees during the tax season.


Pros: 4500 offices in the u.s. and Canada; Freedom finance services is a real player in the niche of tax preparation franchise. This low-investment opportunity offers a truly seasonal business. When it is not tax season, your Office has very limited hours. The world is yours during these times.


Cons: This is a very crowded niche. In addition, the Association of employees may be limited ... a special high quality. If mistakes are made in a client's tax form, you (as the franchisee) is responsible.


Finally, just because I didn't have a good feel for Hewitt, doesn't mean you will. Also does not mean that he is a bad guy. Remember; any franchise opportunity you are looking for on requires a serious research ... good due diligence. So do it.

One Simple Idea: Turn Your Dreams into a Licensing Goldmine While Letting Others Do the Work



Turn your one simple idea into millions—without lifting a finger!


“Ever heard of Teddy Ruxpin or Lazer Tag? Both have Stephen Key’s mark on them. He is the Yoda or ‘renting’ ideas for serious passive income. From how-to to war stories, this is a great book.”
—Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek


“Mr. Key’s brilliance, wisdom, and insight will make you rich. Buy this book!”
—Mark Victor Hansen, bestselling author and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series


“Stephen Key has written a book overflowing with the all-important information that inventors need: a step-by-step guide through everything that goes into a successful product introduction.”
—Gary Dahl, Pet Rock® inventor


“A terrific guide for anyone who wants to be a successful entrepreneur.”
—John Osher, innovation guru who created SpinBrush®, Stretch Armstrong®, Spin Pop®, and Quattro® Titanium Trimmer Razor


“Tired of working for corporate America? Tired of living paycheck to paycheck? One Simple Idea can teach you how to add a few zeros to your income. Buy this book and live your dreams now!”
—Kevin Harrington, infomercial king and featured investor on Mark Burnett’s Shark Tank


“Stephen Key turns conventional inventing ‘wisdom’ on its head and clearly outlines how anyone can earn a meaningful income with One Simple Idea.”
—Tamara Monosoff, founder of Mom Invented® and author of The Mom Inventors Handbook and Your Million Dollar Dream


“Whether you are a creator or a connector, this book will help you turn your ideas into a fulfilling, profitable career. Read it and WIN!”
—Patrick Lonergan, former vice president and general manager, Johnson & Johnson, and president/partner of NUMARK Laboratories, Inc.


About the Book:


For as long as you can remember, you’ve had a dream. You’ve longed to see your product idea come to fruition so you never have to work for anyone else again.


Stephen Key has been living this dream for 30 years. The developer of such lucrative products as Michael Jordan’s WallBall®, the Spinformation® rotating label, and HotPicks® guitar picks, he knows better than anyone how to make a great living as an entrepreneur. Key develops ideas for new products, licenses them out, collects royalty checks, and doesn’t look back. You can do it, too. All you need is One Simple Idea.


In this book, Key reveals the secrets that helped him and thousands of his students—including bestselling author Tim Ferriss—turn their creativity into a passive income generator by “renting” an idea to a company, which takes care of R&D, production, marketing, sales, accounting, distribution, and everything else you don’t want to do.


You’ll be amazed at how simple the process of licensing an idea for profit actually is. Key explains how to:


  • Keep your ideas safe—without spending time and money on a patent
  • Be your own boss—without formally opening a business
  • See your product go to market—without footing a dime in expenses
  • Make potentially big money—without quitting your day job

The age-old business assumption that ideas must come from within organizations has been shattered. From global corporations to small businesses, companies have become so confident in outside entrepreneurs that licensing is now a $500 billion industry. Businesses need “freelancers” like Key—and you—to provide creative, marketable ideas for new offerings.


With One Simple Idea, there’s no prototyping, no patents, and, best of all, no risk. You can make the system work for you—rather than the other way around.

Keepsake Companions' In Home Care Franchise Offers Coaching Program



Keepsake Companion franchise owner Porsha Vogt is set this month to complete one of the company’s signature programs, “Keepsake Coach,” in which she has received intensive, one-on-one business guidance from franchise founder and owner Kristen Chazaud. “I am so pleased that additional business administration help was available. In order to feel completely comfortable as a new business and franchise operator, I needed some tips, especially on effective marketing and sales techniques,” Ms. Vogt said.

“Because Kristen has run her in home care business successfully for so many years, she had some great, real-life examples to share. The coaching, added to my own experience, has really strengthened my confidence,” she concluded. Ms. Vogt is the company’s first franchisee. She is located in Carlsbad, California, and offers services to seniors and their families in the neighboring cities of ­­­­­­­Oceanside and Vista.


The unique "Keepsake Coach" program is one example of the on-going guidance provided franchise owners by company founders Henrì and Kristen Chazaud. Additional signature assistance includes a proven, innovative approach to care of senior citizens; a cutting-edge, Internet-focused marketing systems; and “Keepsake Cuisine,” which focuses on the “science and art” of food preparation and presentation. These programs enable new franchise owners to quickly put business practices and systems in place, often in as few as two to three months.


“Anyone deciding to own their own business will bring a lot of experience to the table. But everyone needs a little bit of help,” Kristen Chazaud said. "That's why we assign each new franchise owner a coach. We know our system works if the franchisees work the system, so we give personalized, one-on-one coaching to fill any gaps and link what they already know with our system.


“Maybe they need just a little bit more business information, or a filing system, or tips on organizing and planning. Maybe they need help with those living room conversations with new clients so they can show their genuine compassion and commitment to caring for seniors. Whatever they need they’ll get, so they can launch a successful business.” Both of the Chazauds had attained over a decade of experience in a variety of long-term care settings as well as a deep understanding of caring for seniors prior to founding Keepsake Companions in San Diego, California, in 2009.


Kristen garnered a wide range of practical knowledge working with seniors who lived independently, those who needed assisted or memory care, and those who required skilled nursing. Chef Henrì is a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and worked in NYC in such fine dining establishments as Maximes, Oceana, La Cote Basque and Le Pavillon. Later, he was responsible for food services at Memorial Medical Center in New Mexico and mastered a spectrum of assisted living community operations in Monterey, Los Angeles, and La Jolla.


Prior to offering in home care, the Chazauds opened Keepsake Choices in 2007, a consulting, placement, and referral company that helps clients find the proper care to fit their needs and desires. The success of their placement and in home care business models led them to expand with Keepsake Companion Franchises in 2012.


The primary qualities sustaining the success of Keepsake Companions are a passion to care for seniors and serve their community. The Chazauds encourage individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to do what it takes to run a successful business to visit the franchise information page on their website at www.keepsakecompanions.com/franchises.html.

Franchise Times Profiles the New Miami Subs Grill as the Cover of February 2013 Edition



After a whirlwind year for the iconic franchise brand in 2012, The New Miami Subs Grill has now been featured as the cover story and 8 page feature for the February 2013 edition of Franchise Times Magazine. Illustrating the colorful history and recent revival of the brand, the article follows the journey of The New Miami Subs Grill from its humble Key West beginnings to its explosive popularity in the early 90s and recent comeback, and highlights the brand’s new equity partnership with international music sensation, Armando Christian Perez, aka Pitbull. 


In the feature, reporter Nancy Weingartner details the official reveal of the new architectural renderings for upcoming Miami Subs locations, designed  by Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design (KKAID), a full-service architectural and interior design firm, to infuse Pitbull’s signature Miami style with an update on the classic glowing arches and sleek interiors. Headquartered in Miami, KKAID specializes in architecture, interior design and planning and offers a diverse range of services relating to buildings, from planning through design, construction, and management.


The in-depth article delves into the striking parallels between Pitbull’s rise to fame from street rapper to global music sensation, Mr. Worldwide, and Miami Subs’ journey from local sub shop to international franchise chain, as well as detailing Pitbull’s involvement with the brand as equity partner. Expansion efforts in Latin America and the Middle East are now launching the Miami mainstay worldwide. Not only are his image and signature Miami style being infused in the design of upcoming locations, but Pitbull’s global aspirations are likewise influencing the brand’s business endeavors.


The New Miami Subs Grill franchise chain has been on an uptick since CEO Richard Chwatt’s new ownership and appointed management team took effect in 2010. Achieving record-breaking sales comparisons store by store, year over year, Chwatt attributes this to the franchise’s focus on revitalizing the brand through renovation, relocation and a commitment to downsizing existing locations that simply don't fall in line with projected growth plans.

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill Welcomes Arizona Franchisee



Colorado-based Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill (http://www.eatgarbanzo.com/), a fast-casual restaurant concept serving fresh and healthy Mediterranean cuisine, announced today the awarding of franchise development rights to GMG Arizona, LLC. With the rights to develop up to 20 Garbanzo restaurants in the Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz. areas, GMG Arizona, LLC is planning to open its first location in the East Valley region of Phoenix.  The group is also currently considering locations in Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe. They will move focus to the Tucson area in late 2013/early 2014.

“An authority on owning and operating restaurants, GMG Arizona is eager to acquaint the Phoenix and Tucson communities with the Mediterranean flavors found only at Garbanzo,” says Bob Bafundo, Garbanzo vice president of company and franchise operations. “We welcome them to the growing Garbanzo family and look forward to their achievements in Arizona.”


Garbanzo has firm qualification criteria for potential franchisees. Only experienced, successful multi-unit restaurant operators who are well capitalized and interested in additional multi-unit growth with the Garbanzo brand are considered. “The Arizona consumers are not going to be able to get enough of Garbanzo,” says Steve Morris, GMG Arizona, LLC owner. “Between the warm weather culture of the community and their interest in ethnic foods and an active lifestyle, Garbanzo is certainly going to fill a need for healthy and convenient food in the Phoenix and Tucson areas.”


“Garbanzo is a brand at the forefront of the restaurant industry and the fast-casual niche,” says James Wilkie, GMG Arizona, LLC operating partner. “It can break through the clutter of overdone and uninteresting options to serve up a new and exciting menu that offers great flexibility and multiple entrĂ©e combinations.”


“I feel there is a huge audience in Arizona for the taste profile and healthy options Garbanzo has to offer,” says Alon Mor (http://www.eatgarbanzo.com/about_history.php), Garbanzo founder, president and CEO. “Our made-from-scratch products have wide appeal while our authentic Mediterranean recipes provide an unequaled approach to fast-casual dining. After just one taste, I know the Phoenix and Tucson residents will be loyal Garbanzo supporters.”


Franchising is one of Garbanzo’s key growth strategies building upon the success of its 15 company-owned restaurants in Colorado. In addition to expansion through franchising, Garbanzo continues its aggressive company-owned restaurant development both in the state and outside Colorado’s borders, specifically in the D.C./Baltimore area.


Garbanzo offers guests a variety of authentic Mediterranean items with an emphasis on flavor, freshness and quality, as well as a healthy trans-fat free menu. Guests have the ability to customize every meal with items such as pita, laffa, falafel, shwarma, hummus, seasoned rice, sauces and dressings. All Garbanzo salads and sauces are prepared on-site daily, and the pita are made from scratch throughout the day in every restaurant. Additionally, several ingredients are bought locally and some are imported directly from the Mediterranean region. For more information about Garbanzo, visit www.EatGarbanzo.com.
