Should you consider a franchise?

Franchises are like anything else when lumping a group together. Some are great, some are terrible, and many are mediocre.

The strength of a franchise lie's in it's ability to create a model. When you buy a franchise, the intent is usually to buy a business that "has it figured out". They're investment vehicles that allow you to reap the benefits of owning a business, without the intensive work of building a functional model.

What are the drawbacks? You pay for the convenience. Beyond the franchise fee and royalties, many franchises have strict branding guidelines, and you're required to purchase much of your supplies through them, which removes your ability to negotiate cost savings.

When considering a franchise, read the document and disclosures. Identify whether other franchisees are having success. Beware of franchisors that have identified a growing market, found a cool name, and are charging you for it. Franchises should come with a great deal of training and guidance.

What separates you from Multi-Million Dollar Enterprises?

In many cases, it's delegation. Understanding that you cannot do all things well is key to the scaling of a business.

As entrepreneurs, one of the hardest things to do is learn how to delegate. There's a misconception about delegation. We often believe "delegation" to be synonymous with "letting go", but successful delegation relies heavily on training and communication. Business leaders maximize their potential when they are capable of building systems, processes, and communicate effectively.

When those qualities lack, or the owner doesn't have the time to train, consultants or contractors are ready to fill the void. Finding the right professional to step in and assist isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of meekness, strength through humility.

Some examples could include bookkeepers, marketing agencies, SAAS, or fractional CFO's and COO's.

If you want to scale, find ways to replace yourself in several facets of your business.
