Building a successful business is no small feat, and in the world of franchising, the stakes are even higher. Entrepreneurs who enter the franchise space—whether as franchisees or franchisors—often find themselves navigating complex systems, balancing operational challenges, and working to stand out in a competitive market. For those looking to grow, the right leadership mindset and strategic approach can make all the difference between success and struggle. Few people understand franchise leadership better than Guy Coffey. With over 17 years of experience, he has built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses in the franchising space. As one of the first 100 Anytime Fitness franchisees, he expanded across six territories, mastering the fundamentals of business growth, operational efficiency, and brand development. Later, he co-founded and scaled Frenchie's Modern Nail Care, which he and his wife, Stephanie, successfully exited after selling the franchise system to private equity. Now, Guy is using his experience to advise emerging franchisors and franchisees, helping them break through common obstacles and accelerate their success. The path from franchisee to franchisor brings unique challenges. Many aspiring business owners underestimate what it takes to scale, often focusing on growth without establishing the right foundation. From structuring franchise agreements to developing support systems for operators, leading a franchise brand requires more than just a great concept—it demands vision, adaptability, and a commitment to operational excellence. Guy's journey highlights the importance of strategic planning and building sustainable systems that empower franchisees while ensuring brand consistency. One of the most overlooked aspects of franchise leadership is the ability to develop strong relationships. A franchise system is only as strong as the people within it, and long-term success depends on fostering collaboration between franchisees and the corporate team. Guy's background in both roles gives him a unique perspective on the communication, support, and accountability necessary for a thriving franchise network. Too often, struggling franchisees isolate themselves instead of leveraging the experience of others who have found success within the same system. Guy emphasizes the importance of staying engaged, being coachable, and focusing on execution rather than excuses. Franchising is not just about following a system—it's about actively participating in its evolution. The most successful franchisees don't simply rely on brand recognition; they take ownership of their local marketing efforts, build strong community connections, and find ways to differentiate themselves in their markets. Guy has seen firsthand how those who embrace this mindset achieve far greater success than those who expect the franchisor to do all the heavy lifting. Business owners who take initiative, engage with their teams, and continually refine their processes position themselves for long-term growth. Beyond franchising, Guy's entrepreneurial mindset has led him to new ventures, including his latest business in the construction services industry. His experience demonstrates that the principles of franchise leadership—systems thinking, strategic execution, and a focus on relationships—apply across industries. Whether scaling a franchise or launching an independent business, the fundamentals remain the same: establish a strong foundation, build the right team, and stay adaptable in an ever-changing market. Franchise leadership is about more than just running a business—it's about fostering a growth mindset, building a network of support, and continuously improving. Entrepreneurs who embrace these principles set themselves apart in the competitive world of franchising and position their businesses for sustainable success. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Y'all. I had to adjust my hat for this one. Mayor Marc Morial will be celebrating his 30'th anniversary of not only becoming mayor of New Orleans  but following in his father's footsteps by being one of the First  African American Mayors. Not only that but at the time he was the youngest in history! At 35 years old, he implemented a new way of leading. He brought EVERYONE to the table. He's the people's mayor. In his administration, crime fell by 5 %! He had a hands on approach that REALLY reaped benefits! By the time his re elections ended he won his second term by almost 80%. He brought an eager and ambitious plan to help revitalize all parts of this city. His legacy lives strong as the Mayor that cleaned out city hall with a shovel, rather than a broom.One day, this great city will find another leader like Mr. Morial. I will keep the faith. Until then, give a read to his book, The Gumbo Coalition here:Then, I talked to my friends over Anytime Fitness- Garden DistrictPersonal Trainer and regional manager Sean Prevost stopped by to talk about FAILED RESOLUTIONS and how we can easily hop back on the wagon.
