What is a Masters Meeting any way?

This is good question,I guess!
We take it for granted that "Outsiders" understand what we mean!
Each 3 months the James Home Services Master Franchisee's get together for a 2 day meeting.
We believe this is vital to the success of the regional master  franchisee.
So much so the Master  Franchisee Agreement has this as a compulsory requirement.
We all head to the beautiful Sunshine Coast for 2 days of partying.
Just joking!!!!!
I work them hard,actually!
We are supposed to have agenda items in 2 weeks before!
Of course everyone leaves to the last minute.
So this meeting I made everyone present  and I gave them their agenda item.
Certainly matched up the subject to the speaker ,all have strengths in different areas.
I only just finalized the agenda.
Have a meeting with State Masters tomorrow afternoon.
Then Thursday we have the Regional Masters in one room & the trainers in the other until 2.30pm.
Then we have an interesting afternoon plan for all of them in the "Beerwah Challenge".
Then to the factory tour of Trailers 2000 to finish the day!

Then Friday Regional Masters are back for day 2.
Friday focus is on recruitment & coaching skills.
we also have on the agenda the power of social media,
Looking at the fantastic reaction of our franchisee  throughout Queensland, in last month with floods & cyclones that created such heartache.

They just rallied, using Facebook & the James Masters True Stories blog,to get the troupes on the ground to help wherever they could!
Very inspiring,Made me very proud of our "Blue Angels'.
Their actions made it clear to me that I personally need to get with it!
Get in to the year 2011 and do the "Blog'.
I will take heaps of photos' & video's of the meeting to give you a bit of an understanding of what we do and the great people we have in our team!

 Meantime checkout our "Blue Angels"franchisee's.

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!
