Half Full

Recently, I had a candidate who would get very excited about a franchise opportunity but the very next day, it would be inevitable that he would contact me with something negative. In other words, instead of seeing the glass half full, he saw it as half empty.

As a certified franchise consultant (CFC,) I help my candidates filter through various elements to come up with best options for their lifestyle, goals and budget, etc. Most people who come to me for my assistance dream of being ...

Serving As a Map to Your Ideal Franchise

Not very long ago, to get from your starting point to your destination, you needed a road map. You could only get road maps at gas stations and had to go through the process of unfolding it and reading all the fine print, hoping it was the latest edition. Trying to read the fine print on these paper road maps, while on a dark twisted road, was not only difficult but extremely dangerous!

Sometimes It is OK to Say No

Yes is such a nice word. No, on the other hand, is often associated with direct chastisement and/or some type of negative connotation. However, when working with a trusted certified franchise consultant sometimes the best word you can hear is in fact, no.

Stop Multitasking and Get More Done!

Research has shown time and time again that multitasking doesn't work. Our brains cannot hold two ideas concurrently. Instead, our brains shift from focusing on one thought to focusing on another thought. It can happen in rapid succession, so we think it's happening concurrently but it's not.

The Downside of Multitasking - It takes more time to finish tasks if you switch between them - versus if you perform them one at a time - because you're not focused or fully engaged. ...

It's a Mindset

Certified franchise consultants (CFCs) are specifically trained in uncovering the mindset in people to determine the probability of success in franchising. Often, people have a pre-determined set of ideas or thoughts on specific franchise industries which may or may not be true.

There are hundreds of categories and sub-categories in franchising, but most people are only familiar with a few. In addition, there are home-based, brick-and-mortar, employees, no-employees, low-investment, ...

Unfortunately, the vast majority of everyday people only know of a handful of franchise options and, sadly, they may not be too glamorous or sexy. However, my expertise as a CFC is in showing everyday people how to take their investment capital and put it into a real ...
