DK regularly gets questions about being a small business owner, scalability, getting out of the 'read', and tactical tips for professionally making it. Devan is providing insights and advice to small business owners who are looking to grow and succeed in today's competitive market. In this episode, we'll be discussing key tactics that small business owners can use to increase their productivity, profitability, and overall success. It is important for small business owners to focus on growth in today's competitive market because the business landscape is constantly evolving and becoming more competitive.

Small businesses that fail to focus on growth risk falling behind their competitors, losing market share, and ultimately failing to survive. By prioritizing growth, small business owners can position themselves for long-term success and sustainability in today's fast-paced and ever-changing business environment. We hope that these key tactics for small business owners have been helpful and informative! Remember, running a successful small business requires constant learning, adaptation, and hard work.

Morgan sits down with her good friend Lauren Nelson to break down their commonalities and some of the most frequently asked questions they receive as Moms, entrepreneurs, Franchise Partners, career-driven women, and more.Lauren, Franchise Partner of Bethel Park, PA, had been a long-time Burn member before learning of the opportunity to open her own location. She just didn’t see herself as a business owner or think it was possible. She started asking questions - none of which were ever received as silly or inexperienced. The more she learned, the more she could see herself in the shoes of a Franchise Partner. Burn’s mission was her true North throughout the entire opening process, which she trusted completely. In 2015 she found out she was expecting her first child, and by 2016 she had signed on to become Franchise Partner of Bethel Park.Lauren fought the mental battle of feeling torn between her dream of being a SAHM and becoming a business owner. She’s an innate lover of people, a goal-setter, and a team player, which comes from her collegiate athletic background and competitive edge. Throughout the onboarding process, she kept waiting for a sign not to move forward with the business, or a red flag telling her it would take time away from her family - but that flag never waved!To learn more about all of the opportunities waiting on the other side of self-doubt, check out this podcast and Lauren's full story.Enjoy this episode?

In this episode, we talk to Spiritleaf franchisee, Cara Rose-Brown, who opened a franchise in Stitsville, Ontario with her husband Tim in July 2020. The couple have been franchising together for more than 20 years. Spiritleaf is a Canadian cannabis brand that currently has 68 franchise units across Canada. They operate with the goal of being the most knowledgeable and trusted retailer of recreational cannabis. Here, Cara shares: • Why she and Tim decided to open a Spiritleaf franchise to help bring cannabis to their small community in Ottawa • How she and Tim won Spiritleaf’s Franchise Partners of the Year award in December 2020, just five months after opening their franchise • And how the entrepreneurial spirit runs in the family, as the couple also introduced their son Mitch to franchising and hope to leave a legacy for him with their Spiritleaf franchise, and much more.

Paige Beard is a Franchise Opening Specialist  with Burn Boot Camp who also support trains at the Lake Norman location. She has an infectious energy that has motivated not only clients, but our Franchise Partners too!

Over our 30+ years of training and supporting Franchisees, Fibrenew has run the gambit when it comes to venue and format in delivering the message, and this past spring, we added a new chapter to that journey with virtual training. In April, we hosted 250+ franchise partners on Zoom for our annual seminar and it worked better than anyone expected. In May, for the first time ever, we trained 3 new franchisees via Zoom and it worked equally as awesome. On this podcast, we spoke with those 3 Franchise Partners and had them share their experience with virtual training and hear how their businesses took off immediately afterward. We hope you enjoy!

We're having conversations with Franchise Partners to understand how they're navigating this period - what March and April looked like, what's happening now and what their plans are moving forward. In this episode, we sat down with Anthony Fragola of Fibrenew Alleghenies in central Pennslyvania. He shared many great insights and provided some inspiring ideas on how he's getting back to business safely and methodically. We hope you enjoy, cheers.

My 9-year old grandson, Gideon, asked a big favor of me the other day.“Poobah, I have 11 imaginary friends who need to start staying at your house.” “Okay. Can they all sleep upstairs?” “They could, but I doubt they'll ever all be here at the same time.” Gideon told me what I needed to know about each of them and which ones would often go out wandering for days at a time – and not to worry about it – and which ones would come and go through the windows and who would sleep exactly where. There was only one imaginary friend who was going to continue staying at Gideon's house. I am no stranger to imaginary friends. Indy and I have several of them.I, myself, am an imaginary friend. Brian Scudamore, Erik Church, David St. James, and James Alish are the primary leaders of O2E Brands. I write ads for their four franchises. A number of years ago, these guys began bringing groups of their top-performing Franchise Partners to meet “the wizard in the castle on the mountain in Texas.” Okay, I can play that role. All I have to do is unlock the majestic tower Pennie created and give a tour of the magical campus she created that surrounds it. But Brian and Erik and David and James had an altogether different plan.Unbeknownst to me, they told their Franchise Partners that every newcomer was required to present me with a gift when they met me. And that the gift had to be deeply meaningful. And they had to tell me a story about it when they presented it. And if their gifts and stories were acceptable, I would invite them upstairs to spend some time with me. I was, of course, embarrassed at first, but this little ritual in the underground art gallery became precious as time went by. These awkward encounters taught me the importance of the imaginary people in our lives. The people you admire from a distance – the authors you read, the actors who entertain you, the voices on the radio that sing to you, and the faces on Youtube that peer into your eyes – are imaginary people that inhabit your world. The character is always bigger than the actor who brings it to life. I recently received an illustrated letter containing 7 questions from a young boy named Bennett.I will conclude today's memo by answering Bennett's questions: Can you make 2 suns? No, I cannot speak 2 suns into the physical world, but I can speak 2 suns into your mind. “As Bennett stood in his front yard in the middle of the night, the darkness on his left melted away when a glowing, silver circle began to rise up out of the ground. When that circle of light was as high as his left shoulder, a golden ball began to rise out of the ground on his right. And when the light from the gold ball touched the silver, 12 sleeping flowers lifted their heads, 9 hummingbirds flew away, 6 big dogs barked in Spanish, 3 policemen blew their whistles, and one old rooster crowed cock-a-doodle-do.” Can you make a copy machine? Yes. If I press special numbers on my telephone and say, “I want a copy machine,” a copy machine will appear the next day. How many floors are in your castle? Five: The Art Gallery, the Banquet Hall, the Eye of the Storm, the Library Floor, and the Star Deck. Can you make a camera? Yes. When I touch a certain button on my computer, a camera will appear on my front porch two days later. Can you make a crayon box? Yes, I make crayon boxes the same way I make cameras. Do you have a wizard family? Yes, there are 46 other wizards in my family. Indiana Beagle will put some photos of them in https://www.mondaymorningmemo.com/rabbithole/ (the rabbit hole) for you. Do you have any comments? Yes. This is my comment: You are a very brave boy, Bennett. You do things that other people only think about doing or talk about doing. You drew me a nice picture and you wrote me a good letter. Because you have courage, and because you are a doer, and not just a talker, you will be successful at whatever you choose to do. I look forward to meeting you when
