“You Answered Yes”

Warning: You Have Indicated You Might Be Involved With ATraditional

“Brick and Mortar”

 Franchise (Or Are Considering It).

Before you take another step in that direction you need to read this page immediately.

Whether its food service or professional services, child care or tax prep, nearly all traditional franchise models have a few things in common.

• They are expensive
• They are risky (more than 50% of all franchisees fail in less than 5 years)
• They are difficult to get concrete information about before you invest (since they can’t legally discuss how much money you can make)
• They have high overhead – rent, employees, insurance, and some form of inventory in some cases strict regulatory compliance
• They have an upfront franchise fee advertising funds AND ongoing revenue sharing (royalties) to the Franchisor starting from day one
• They have business models that are not designed to be profitable for 3-5 years
• They have a “big brother is watching you” style of doing business
• They claim that franchisees business is “independently owned and operated”

A  franchisor will never spill all of the beans:
In fact, most of what franchisors say to franchisee prospects about their concepts is designed to counter these arguments.  How often do we hear about a “proven track record of success” or “stability you can count on”?
Franchisors know that prospective franchisees have legitimate concerns about the viability of the franchise model.
Remember… franchisors are never in the business of selling their products; they’re in the business of selling franchises.

• “Take on debt then spend 5 years paying it off so you can hopefully earn a middle class income.”
• “6 figures a year is what it will cost you to keep the doors open.  Hope you sell lots!”
• “Our business owners work twice as hard as the people they employ.”

But in reality those would be honest pitches.
I know… I used to own multiple travel franchises.
The details of my story don’t really matter… as a member of a franchise owners association with meetings once a month in addition to conventions and seminars I have had ample opportunity to meet with and interview hundreds of travel franchisees.  At least I know I am not the only one who struggled with the franchise model.

• “It was just so much harder to make money than they made it sound.”
• “I was working twice as many hours as I ever intended.”
• “That bank loan felt like a prison term.”
• “I was surviving, but never thriving.”
• “Real success was NOT for the majority”
• “I was praised for not having lost as much money this month as the previous month”

I’m one of the lucky ones. I was able to shut my stores down and get out (without declaring bankruptcy!)
I did end up paying off years worth of leases I was personally on the hook for, plus a couple hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bank, but I didn’t let it consume me…

Why am I not complaining?
Because our misfortune has turned to good!
In fact, we have made a new career out of educating others about franchising as well as alternative types of business available to prospective franchisees.

Congratulations! Based On Your Answers You Are Not About To Get Caught In The Trap Of A “Brick-and-Mortar” Franchise.

Clearly You Are Too Smart For That…

So what is your plan?
Are you considering one of the following?

• Starting your own concept with no franchise fees, no mark ups, and no royalties.
• Opening a self-operated franchise like a tool truck.
• Opening a computer-based franchise where you service online leads.
• Starting a non-franchise internet business.

We’re not here to tell you which of these options (or others) to choose. But we will tell you that you are wise to avoid the liabilities and uncertainty of a brick-and-mortar franchise.

We’d also like to give you some valuable information we think can help you narrow down your options further…
I know that most people who start looking at franchising have a few things in common…

• A burning desire to be their own boss.
• Some business skills.
• Some capital to invest.
• A vision for how their life should look.

I also know that a franchise is not always the fastest or most successful way for these folks to get where they want to go. That’s why I want to email you my Special E-book:
