Do You Have Sufficient Impetus?

A couple of years ago, with the encouragement of a former blogger, now author, Jim Kukral, I did a series of franchise videos, and put a little website together to broadcast what I thought was going to be “The Daily Franchise Show.”

Jim strongly suggested that I do a franchise video every day, so I made an attempt. My attempt turned out to be well, an attempt. Who knows; maybe I’ll try again. Anyway…

I produced a short video during that time (2008) which I think you’ll enjoy. If you’re a fence-sitter, I feel that you’ll really get a lot out of it. (Your fence-sitting doesn’t have to be about your career, which is what this video is about.) Impetus.


What Do You Expect From Your Franchise?

(This is a guest post from my good friend, Jim Kukral. He's an author now, too)

I just got finished writing my first book.
In a way, my publisher was my franchise and I was the franchisee. As you well know, that's a special relationship. It required give and take from both of us. Each team providing something of value to the relationship.

So what do you expect from your franchise? I know that Joel Libava will tell you what to expect, and I'm sure each one is different, but my point is… what do YOU expect?

Franchise Ownership; Are You Going To Go For It?

Freedom

My friend, Jim Kukral, is a guy who "walks the walk." What I mean by that is he is constantly making recommendations to others about what they should be doing, marketing wise, and he actually does them consistently himself. I am not sure how you feel about people who are great at telling you what you should be doing, and then never do it themselves, but I cannot stand folks like that.

Jim is always challenging me to take things to the next level, like when he suggested this. {Yes Jim, I finally put an intro on it!} No. Scratch that. Brad Kleinman, another friend of mine, {And a true fan and believer of how I help potential franchise owners find great opportunities, actually did the technical stuff for the intro}

Anyway…..please check out Jim Kukral’s latest blog post. It is titled:

"The Time Is Right To Go For it, Will You?"

So, will you?
