Franchsors "Get their money for nothing!"

I hear this consistently.
The franchisor is sitting on a beach doing nothing!
I WISH!!!
As a business that been franchising for 17 years through out Australia.
People do believe the fellow who started it would be "kicking back'.
Now we did start franchising when I was a very young 27 years old.
So, I'm only 45 this years.
I do have a lot of working life in me.
So does our business!
We still have a long way to go together!
I would like to take you on our forward journey , maybe help others on the exciting advantage that is running your own business!

What a Great Coaching Question! #The Negative Thing

Image
The Negative Thing   One of the guys asked an interesting question about my early days. How did I handle the “ Negative Thing ”? When I asked what did he mean by that? He expanded. You know? When you’ve had a bad day and you don’t get the results, you can get disheartened. And then there are other people who seem to want you to fail.  Sometimes its other franchisees, or just people you know, or even family. They seem excited when they think you might fail. ”Told you so!”  Sort of thing! I asked him first - What did he do? He said “When I get negative, I then do nothing.  I just worry about it.” He said, “I know it doesn’t work”. This is the network about 1994, I think.Don't we look dapper? What did I do! And still do for that matter. Firstly, I always do something ! I really don’t just sit around and worry. Playing a   positive game always beats the negative players. If you keep going forward, working on the solutions, you will always win! Every time Guaranteed!
