Are you one of those people who love real estate, would love to invest but don't know how to get in the game? The HomeVestors franchise network may be just the point of entry you need and for more reasons than you might imagine. As featured on this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur, the Dallas-based cash home buying network offers differentiators that make it an industry standout with some 1,200 franchisees across 170 U.S. markets. Tanice Myers, a franchise owner in Spokane, WA, shares her journey from tech sales to real estate entrepreneur and Lauren Midgley, Franchise Growth Director at HomeVestors, highlights the many benefits of affiliating with “We buy ugly homes” brand. Franchisees buy homes in distress, “as is” and for cash, offering sellers a gentle and stress-free alternative to marketing their problem homes. The model provides HomeVestors owners a full complement of training tools and support, including intensive field support from knowledgeable Development Agents, lead generation and access to preferred lenders willing to finance up to 100% of purchase and repairs. Additionally, the franchise network itself is a tremendous resource and source of support for entrepreneurs just starting out. Could you be a good fit? Lauren shares some of the characteristics (like empathy and people skills) that make for ideal franchise owners. Women tend to do great and real estate experience is in no way a requirement.

Mascots and catchy logos go a long way toward visibility!· Developing a reputation and profile is gold when it comes to differentiating.· When it comes to franchises, competitors are up against a proven system that gives customers confidence.· At the end of the day, sales is more about you than what it is you're selling!· Franchise models offer a network of resources and shared experience that is unavailable to independent businesses.· Have your eye on a franchise opportunity, but lack the core skill set? Consider hiring someone with the expertise to help you establish the business.· Franchise models offer a great way to take an entrepreneurial risk while benefiting from the support of a tried-and-true network and system. Here's a quick look into the episode:· About Lauren's franchising background as well as her work as an author and professional speaker specializing in business coaching for small businesses.· About Tanice's experience prior to becoming a HomeVestor franchisee, including 23 years of technology sales at the enterprise level. She loved it but was in search of something different, and especially something with a real estate bent.· What is HomeVestors? They buy houses in ugly situations! Formed in 1996, the company purchases properties from owners who want a fast sale and instant cash. · HomeVestors has about 1,200 franchisees in 170 markets across the country with 125,000 homes acquired over the past two decades. They are the No. 1 cash homebuyer.· A day in the life of a HomeVestor franchisee looks like:o It's variable! o You can be an independent/individual owner or grow a team.o Initially it's about taking phone calls and generating leads on “ugly homes.”o Field work to understand the market and scout properties.o Milestones and timelines are an important component of successful operations.· Real estate decisions are made at the franchisee level, so individual owners choose whether to flip, hold or rent properties.· About the competition: Lauren says there's lots – and HomeVestors doesn't mind. It pushes both franchise owners and the company as a whole to look for differentiators and push themselves to build upon and leverage brand recognition and reputation.· About the training and support HomeVestors provides franchise owners:o A weeklong training in Dallas that includes new franchise owners and veteran staff.o Virtual training.o Two annual conference events for all franchise owners.o Weekly podcasts and other support materials.· HomeVestors' Differentiators: o Development Agents who mentor new franchisees in the field and ensure their success.o The network of HomeVestors is a huge investment resource that franchisees can access for advice on a range of real estate issues.o Lead generation through top-of-mind, highly visible branding and advertising.o Preferred lenders that work closely with franchisees and are willing to lend 100% of the house purchase as well as repairs.· Who is the ideal HomeVestors franchisee?o A people person who can enter a seller's home and be empathetic,o A creative problem-solver.o A go-getter.o A strong sales background isn't necessary so much as people skills. o Only about 50% of franchisees have a real estate background.o Women do particularly well in the real estate space because of their ability to connect well with people.· Initial Franchise Fees: Associate Level $39,000 is and Full Level is $80,000. Ongoing monthly fees and transaction fees based on volume and royalties based on level. The recommended amount of liquid net worth is $90,000-$100,000.

In this episode, I'm talking with Lauren Midgley. After 25 years of working for 2 Fortune 500 companies in sales and marketing, Lauren launched her consulting business in 2010, helping small business owners be more profitable. To reach her audience, she added being a speaker and an author to her marketing efforts. The game-changer for Lauren and her business was in 2014, where she was diagnosed with breast cancer. From that point forward, Lauren shifted her message to live each day fully, be satisfied and get the things done that matter. Her Amazon bestseller, It's 6 am and I'm Already Behind: Strategies to Get Caught Up reinforced that message. In 2019, Lauren decided to do a personal project – sending a handwritten card she designed to those who mattered to her. The card simply said, “You Matter to Me” in calligraphy with a heart. The response back was astounding and deeply touched the recipients. Lauren saw the need that others had to send the same message to their inner circle, so she launched the You Matter to Me greeting card business called Yes You Matter. Lauren has written 2 eBooks on how to stay connected to those who matter and speaks to a variety of groups on “The Art of Staying Connected to Those Who Matter”, with another book coming later this year (2020). ~ Links, Resources & Show Notes: http://www.thesocialchameleon.show/Lauren-Midgley ~~~ Giveaways at: http://www.thesocialchameleon.show/pickme Call: (480) 525-5258 Email: info@thesocialchameleon.show Connect With Us: Facebook: https://fb.me/SocialChameleonShow Instagram: https://instagram.com/socialchameleonshow Twitter: https://twitter.com/SocialChamShow Subscribe: YouTube: http://bit.ly/SCS-Subscribe Apple Podcast:https://apple.co/2L8hl6R Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/SCS-Google-Podcast Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2KYJ0GF Stitcher: https://bit.ly/SCS-Stitcher More Apps Here http://thesocialchameleon.show/podcast #SocialChameleonShow #LaurenMidgley #StrategicBusinessConsultant #ProductivityStrategist #Author --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/social-chameleon-show/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/social-chameleon-show/support

Show Topic: Time Management with Lauren Midgley Co-Hosts: Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson, Walter Gaman Guest: Lauren Midgley (In Studio) Segment 1: Today we are talking about something we could all work on--time management. There just aren't enough hours in the day. How does time management affect your health? Stress levels Productivity Personal stories of time management DOC SHOCK Are you looking to increase your athletic performance? New research out of Saint Louis University (SLU) in Missouri found that eating a Mediterranean diet can increase endurance performance in just four days! Participants were six percent faster while running on a treadmill for three miles. The Mediterranean diet consists of plant-based foods. These include fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. Red meat is also limited to just a few times a month. Olive oil is used in place of butter and fresh herbs and spices in place of salt. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/mediterranean-diet/art-20047801 Stay Young America.com Facebook (Stay Young Media Group), website (Stayyoungamerica.com, and iTunes, call us 844-well 100 Follow us on Twitter @StayYoungMedia. Coming up, our special guest Lauren Midgley. Segment 2: Lauren Midgley, based in Dallas-Ft. Worth Texas, became an entrepreneur in 2010 after a 25+ year career with two Fortune 500 companies. Her depth of knowledge and understanding of time management come from being an executive managing a team and being a business owner herself. Immortal Minute We really can't manage time…but we can manage our own “time formula”. Night begins the day. Our 24 day really starts when go to sleep. If slept well, we will be more productive. If not, it will be a less productive day. The saying “get twice as much done in ½ the time” is a myth. The thought of trying to do that raises our anxiety --- we work less effectively with less clarity when we are anxious. Build downtime into the white spaces of your schedule. Know what is your “go-to” downtime technique to clear your mind and how to get to a calm state. Segment 3: Today we're talking about time management with Lauren Midgley. Where we trip ourselves up --- we think we can do more than we have time available. The starting point is knowing your “capacity of time” for each day AND how much time task(s) will take. Then schedule accordingly. Stick to the task…rather than jump around to other tasks or allowing yourself to be interrupted while on one task. The task jumping is what causes us to be mentally fatigued. Know what routines/checklists really work for you. Build more of them into your day if you can – adds to your efficiency and gives your brain a rest from decision making.

Workshop Wednesdays with Tony Gambone and Linda Ballesteros Jason Matthews are you happy to be an Indie author? I am–it's a thrilling time for writers. The internet has changed publishing for the better in my opinion, empowering each of us to share ideas with readers all over the world. Not long ago there was a real stigma associated with self-publishing but times are changing quickly. Indie authors have more control over projects and get to keep the bulk of their sales. No wonder so many of us are either self-publishing or exiting from traditional contracts. It isn't easy though, but that has created a coveted asset within this community: the supportive network of people ready and able to help each other. I love meeting writers and helping share their stories. http://ebooksuccess4free.wordpress.com Lauren Midgley is passionate on the topic of growing a business.
