And if you're a franchisor, this is where your hard work is recognized.   But you might be skeptical about the integrity of the list. Some even say those who advertise the most get on top of the list. But what is the truth about the Franchise 500 list?    Join Over 5,500 Franchisees and Franchisors in our FREE Private Facebook Community HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/franchisesecretsfb?_rdc=1&_rdr    In this episode, Erik shines the spotlight on Tracy Stapp Herold.

Pat Rigsby is a dad, husband, business coach, author, and entrepreneur who has built over 25 different businesses, including two Entrepreneur Franchise 500 award-winning franchises. An aspiring baseball player, he turned out to be a baseball coach. Later, he got his entrepreneurial start by opening a personal training business and health club. With no money to get these businesses off the ground, he was living with his family in the basement of a shared home. Before long, he started to have some real success (including moving out of the basement) and looked to expand his businesses. Over the next few years, his small personal training business grew to a network of successful businesses ranging from franchises and certification companies to info-marketing and real estate. Pat then found his true calling (coaching and consulting) and has inspired entrepreneurs through his coaching program and bestselling book The IDEAL Business Formula. He’s shared his journey onstage in front of thousands and has been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today, and hundreds of other media outlets. For Pat, the best part is that he’s been able to do all this while working from home, coaching his kids’ sports teams, and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle he never would have thought possible just a few years ago. Today he coaches entrepreneurs to create their Ideal Business, one that allows them to earn more profits, have a greater impact, and enjoy more freedom to enjoy life.

Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Author. Welcome, Pat Rigsby:I guess if I were going to sum it up in 5 words, those would be the five. But I’m going to share a little more in hopes that my journey can be of a little help to you in your own. I’m a 46-year-old guy that has built his share of successes from the ground up…and more importantly, have a beautiful wife, two incredible boys and a business that allows me to spend most of my time with them along with family and friends. Quote:If you do what you said you were going to do each day, then you will get what you said you were going to get. In the past decade, I’ve built over a dozen businesses as a CEO and Co-Owner, with five becoming million dollar or multi-million dollar ventures. Two of those businesses, Athletic Revolution and Fitness Revolution, have been multiple time winners on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 with each being the #1 franchise for its respective market. Another business, Fitness Consulting Group, was a multiple time honoree on the Inc. 5000, placing as high as #580 on the list of fastest growing businesses in the U.S. I’ve also been a Best-Selling Author 6 times over, presented in front of thousands of entrepreneurs and been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today and on hundreds of other media outlets. “When it comes to sales, I’ve personally sold as many as 116 franchises in a single year and been the strategist and copywriter for over 10 million dollars in online sales from my own businesses and millions more in sales for my clients.” In the fitness industry alone, my coaching & consulting clients have been featured in places like Men’s Health, USA Today, Men’s Fitness, Shape, Women’s Health, Huffington Post and on ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much any other media outlet you can think of. They’ve built some of the most successful businesses and brands in every corner of the industry. Everything from local business and supplement companies to online businesses, certification organizations. They even became best-selling authors. In fact, many (if not most) of the experts providing business coaching in the fitness industry have been my clients, customers or franchisees. And the best part of this? I’ve been able to do all of these things and more while working from home, coaching my kids in baseball and soccer and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle I would have never thought possible just a few short years ago.   Top 3 Hot Points:Entrepreneurial Teams Lifestyle Balance PANS & PANDAS Awareness   [spp-tweet tweet="You Too Can LIVETHEFUEL! @livethefuel "]   Resources:PatRigsby.com https://twitter.com/patrigsby https://www.instagram.com/patrigsby5/ https://www.facebook.com/PatRigsbyHQ/ https://www.facebook.com/patrigsby https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBtvMe6Ny66FvZQsBnVtV9g PANS and PANDAS Research on NIMH: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/research/research-conducted-at-nimh/research-areas/clinics-and-labs/sbp/information-about-pans-pandas.shtml   Final Words:If you're in the entrepreneurial world or even if you're just somebody who wants to be a high achiever in your career, listen in.
