Many years ago, we created a spinoff podcast called Great Quotes in Franchising. Great Quotes in Franchising features some “aha” moments from our weekly podcast. Today's Great Quote in Franchising comes from Tom Scarda. Tom is a franchise consultant for FranChoice and the author of The Magic of Choosing Uncertainty. Tom is excellent at providing analogies on topics like motivation and entrepreneurship. Today's Great Quote in Franchising is called, “It Doesn't Hurt Enough,” but we will let Tom explain this notion.

There are many business models, each built on a specific premise. If, as an entrepreneur, you want a recession-proof business model, you may want to go into real estate. However, if you want a business with time-tested systems that guarantee profits from the first day, you must choose a franchising model.   In franchising, an entrepreneur sells the rights to market and sell their products or services within a certain territory to independent business owners (franchisees) for a set period of time. The franchisor also provides the necessary training, equipment, and management to the franchisee to use their system, who in return pays royalties or license fees for the right to represent the franchisor's products.  If this business model excites you, David Weaver has some entrepreneur motivation tips and strategies for that cause. This podcast is for entrepreneurs like you who want to find their freedom, control their futures, and fuel their vision through franchise ownership. David Weaver has a diverse and comprehensive background to draw on as a franchise expert and a FranChoice consultant. Having honed his business skills in a variety of ways, he now looks forward to sharing his knowledge and experience with others. His intimate knowledge of franchise systems, years of interaction with franchise candidates before and after they opened for business, and personal experience investing in Franchise Assets with his wife, Ann Marie, offers David a true understanding of what works and what doesn't in franchising. Key Highlights From The Show: [00:01] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest; David Weaver [02:56] David's backstory and what he has been doing in his space [07:06] Largest franchise brands in the world apart from McDonald's [08:15] What makes the franchising business model work? [11:00] When should you go for a franchise instead of starting something new from scratch? [18:20] Ways through which franchisors make money [19:44] Is it wise to buy or start a franchise business in the current market condition? [23:00] What does it mean to be an entrepreneur, according to David [25:25] Key entrepreneur lessons David has learned along his journey [28:58] The current failures of startup founders [32:31] How to reach out and connect with David [33:08] Ending the show and call to action Notable Quotes: There are over 4,000 companies in the US alone selling franchises.  Many people are manipulative because they have needs and do not know how to address them.  When you buy a franchise, you reduce the time you would take to build successful systems. Every entrepreneur who aspires to succeed must do two things. They must find and attract quality customers and get them to want to come back over and over again. Also, they have to find quality employees that do excellent work in driving the customer experience. The joy of entrepreneurs is knowing that they are unemployable.

Join your host, Dearonne, and guest, Jim Runyon, Consultant at FranChoice, a Franchise Consulting Company, as they discuss the ABCs of franchising. Jim helps people who diversify their investment through franchising identify companies that would be a good fit for them and avoid the pitfalls he experienced. Jim shares that the biggest myth and problem people run into is the thought, "if we build it, people will come." The reality is franchising is a platform, an opportunity to be successful. But the best platform given to the worst business people won't be able to do anything with it likewise. But, people who work hard, even with the best platform, can outwork the platform. Just like any business, this takes work. It needs hard work. If you want to learn more about franchising, tune in to this episode and enjoy!    About FranChoice  FranChoice has been in business since 2000. They were one of the first companies to create a free consulting process for prospective franchisees. Today they are considered the premier franchise consulting company in this industry.    Jeff's philosophy when he created FranChoice was that the candidate's goals for business ownership are paramount. The candidate and their best interest must be the focus at all times, which remains true today. The sexiness of the product or service sold by the franchise might be the initial draw for a prospective franchisee, but who will help them determine whether owning that particular business will help them reach their goals and achieve their dreams?    Their focus on doing the right thing and following a process that has the candidate's best interest in mind permeates their organization, from the home office team to the consultants who work with the candidates.    Outline of the episode:   [00:01] Intro [01:49] Jim's background in franchising. [05:02] The mistakes he made [07:04] What's an exemplary process for a consultation? [09:14] What is the process for finding a new franchise?  [12:56] Assumptions in franchising [20:17] Should you buy an existing business or start your own business? [23:47] Make sure you know what's coming down the pipe when you buy a franchise. [28:19] What's happening in Hawaii's real estate industry? [30:33] How he got into real estate and franchising. [38:48] Book recommendation  Resources:  ●   Website  Connect with The Cashflow Project!  ●    Website  ●    LinkedIn  ●    Youtube  ●    Facebook  ●    Instagram

Listen as Geoff and I take a deep-dive into the world of lending.  Outline of This Episode [1:55] Geoff Seiber’s Story [3:40] From pizza delivery to a franchisee [7:55] The state of lending and franchising [11:35] What is high-risk lending? [14:15] Working with FranFund vs. a bank  [18:15] A word of Caution about banks [19:55] The nuances of the SBA [21:50] A loan approval is not a done deal [25:25] Life-curve in buying a franchise [27:40] The complexity of the 401k [33:00] Final words of wisdom The politics involved in the financing world When elections come around, the banking industry tends to feel some anxiety. Every time a new person with a new platform is elected to office, it could mean significant change—positive or negative. The Obama administration was headed towards more stringent regulations with the Small Business Administration (SBA).  The Trump administration has eased off on some of those regulations that fell under the “excess paperwork” realm. Geoff believes they are holding banks to higher standards and keeping them accountable. If you aren’t immersed in the world of banking and financing you’re not necessarily going to be aware of the impact electing Democrats or Republicans have on the process. If you’re not familiar with the SBA, they’re a sort of “insurance policy” for banks. If a bank takes on a loan, follows all of the rules and guidelines, but the loan defaults: the SBA will cover up to 75% of that loss.  What falls into the category of high-risk lending? There are a lot of factors that can throw you into the “high-risk” category for lending. Some of the things taken into account: Is it their first franchise? Is there prior experience in franchising? What business are they buying? What is the age of the franchisor? What does the competition look like in the industry? If you’re brand new to franchising, have very little experience, and are young you are automatically branded as high-risk. It’s how the game works. As entrepreneurs, we are used to betting on ourselves and taking a risk. But a lender has to evaluate the risk differently, and choose whether or not they think you will be successful. Keep listening as Geoff and I dissect other factors and risk associated. FranFund Financing vs. a traditional bank So what makes FranFund different? Geoff points out that you can secure an SBA loan through many banks, but you need to find one that has experience with high-risk lending. Many aren’t necessarily willing to take on that risk—or say they will to obtain your business, but the end result is wasted time and no loan.  On the flip-side, if you work with FranFund they understand the nature of the industry. Banks are fickle. Some won’t work with start-ups. Others only work with certain franchise industries or will turn you down to keep their portfolio balance. FranFund helps you find the right bank, is familiar with their portfolios and works to help the lender gain a balanced portfolio, by working with you. Geoff wants you to know that you are bankable. Don’t give up. To hear how else FranFund can help entrepreneurs, keep listening for details! A loan approval doesn’t equal a done deal Did you know that a loan approval doesn’t mean everything is a done deal? You need a signed lease and proof that the collateral is assigned properly to access the SBA funds. The franchise fee you pay can go towards the money you put down for the SBA loan.  The more money you put in, the more you lower the risk curve. Geoff notes that a good rule of thumb is a 30% equity injection—but the more you can put down the better. In order to use any of that capital in the business, your lease has to be executed. They need to know where their money is going, after all. Geoff and I cover using a 401K to fund your business and he leaves some final words of wisdom. Be sure to listen to the whole episode if you’re ready to finance your franchise!

Interview with Jeff Elgin, CEO & Founder of FranChoice

We are meeting with Meg Schmitz.  Meg is a franchising consultant through FranChoice — her deep knowledge of franchising started in the 1990s, when she opened the first of five Great Clips salons in the Chicago area. As the president of the Chicago area owners’ co-op and liaison to corporate executive staff, Meg saw how others struggled because they bought a franchise that wasn’t the best fit. Now, after 10 years as a franchise consultant, Meg has helped hundreds determine whether business ownership, especially franchising, is the right vehicle for their personal and financial success.   Meg’s unique perspective in the industry comes from not only her own experience as a franchisee, but also because her degree in Counseling Psychology and work as a certified Mediator and hospice volunteer.  Meg is attuned to the importance of asking the right questions and listening, which allows her candidates to hone their questions/concerns about business ownership into a refined investigation to match them with the best business opportunity. ?

The Benevolink program helps consumers give to their favorite charities, including schools, religious, arts and cultural organizations and other causes our consumer members really care about, through the act of shopping . It also helps businesses increase sales, profits and market share, while forming bonds with consumers. And lastly it helps charities generate additional, unrestricted revenue on a year-round basis while adding value for their supporters Now, the simple act of shopping -- when coupled with the power of 'pooled giving' and consumer choice -- creates a win-win-win scenario for consumers, businesses and charitable causes. Our vision is to significantly increase the funding capacity over time for more than one million nonprofit organizations making a difference in their communities across the United States.  For more information please check out their website www.benevolink.com Next up we had on Theresa Barber with FranChoice.Theresa Barber’s diverse experience in business and franchising gives her the expertise to carefully guide entrepreneurs in the sometimes-difficult path of choosing the best franchise for them. For eight years Ms. Barber managed a multi-million dollar worldwide tour company, which gave her extensive experience in management, finance, sales, and marketing. Her love of travel brought her into the franchising arena in 1996 when she joined Uniglobe Travel as a Franchise Advisor, becoming a top performer early on. She accepted the role of Manager of Business Development when she moved from New England to Georgia. Here she worked directly with franchisees in the Northeast and Southeast regions to help them achieve their business goals. She advised them in areas of staffing, marketing, and budgeting for growth. Ms. Barber conducted regular regional meetings with franchisees, trained owners and employees in technology, customer relations, and franchise “best practices.” Her main focus prior to moving back into sales as an Area Developer with Uniglobe was “hand holding” the new franchisees for a smooth transition into ownership. In 2000, Ms. Barber was recruited by Netspace to spearhead the franchise sales department of a brand new technology franchise. With her strong sales and management skills, and the love of the internet motivating her, she soon became the national leader in franchise sales, and helped build a very successful franchise organization. She assisted in developing internal processes, and trained new franchisees in technology, sales, and marketing. Today, Theresa Barber utilizes the skills that she has acquired over the years to help individuals find a perfect match in the franchising arena that compliments their own skills and allow them to achieve their goals. If you are thinking about buying a franchise you should give Theresa a call and take her up on her free consultation she can save you some time and some money. For more info please check out her website http://tbarber.franchoice.com And last but not least we had on Bart Foster CEO and Founder of SoloHealth, an early stage company positioned to capitalize on the growing consumer preference for self-directed health care services. Its first product, EyeSite™, is an automated vision-testing kiosk, which allows consumers to quickly and efficiently check their vision without assistance. SoloHealth is a spin-out venture originating from CIBA Vision, the eye care unit of Novartis AG. As consumers become more accustomed to many types of fast and efficient self-service transactions, (ATMs,, airline check-in, photos, etc.) and with their growing knowledge and concern about health, it is inevitable that more people will embrace self-directed health care. With EyeSite™ as the entry product, our goal is to become a world leader in self-service health screening and efficient referral to health care providers. According to the American Optometric Association, the average person only visits an eye care professional every 36-48 months, about half as often as recommended. Because eyesight usually deteriorates very slowly and can easily go unnoticed, many people don’t realize they could benefit from vision correction and the importance of regular exams. The EyeSite™ self-service kiosk, located in high-traffic locations, will entice individuals to assess their vision more often, resulting in greater utilization of services from eye care professionals and more sales of vision care products. For more information about Bart and his company please go to his website www.solo-health.com Also if you know of a business in Atlanta that we should know about please email Amy Otto at Amy @ atlantabusinessradio.com and we will try and get them on the show.
