Try to take your expertise, the contacts, and the synergy you have around you and look at what other businesses might be interested in. PR is one of the many arsenals you need to have working on your side, today everything is so different with social media and the internet, but you still need PR no doubt about it. The International Franchise Association (IFA) was trying to figure out how to involve younger people and businesses in the association and how they could stimulate the excitement in the youth about franchising. We ran an international global competition, we had 3000 applicants last for the last one. There were 20 winners, we bring them to the IFA convention. Ultimately we narrow it down to three winners out of the 20. And the three of the 20 are finalists very much like shark tank, the final day go in front of 5,000 people we'd have special judges, I actually had Daymond judge a couple of years ago. The finalists pitch to the audience, and then the audience votes on their phones which idea they think is worthy of the winner. And it's been a tremendous, I've got all these friends now all over the world telling me about their newest milestones they reached in their business. Resource links: David's Website LinkedInInternational Franchise Association  Next Gen Franchising CONNECT WITH MILLION DOLLAR MONDAY!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Youtube!

Discover Rising Tides with Kristin Selmeczy How the Outside Makes the Inside Better Through conversations with female business owners, we explore the benefits of time spent outside to maintain life balance. The time outside and activity may differ in each conversation, but we delve into the subject to find the commonality that drives us all. As a business owner, I find myself outside to balance the challenges of every day Discovering Kristin Selmeczy - Kristin has 3 kids, balances 2 hockey teams, in house baseball and travel baseball. She is a PTA President at one school and PTA chair for another. There is non-stop action in her home. Upon having her second child and getting stuck in a snow storm during his first winter she swore she would give up her corporate career and do something different… something that would allow her to spend time with her kids and volunteer . Kristin found a franchise broker who analyzed her skill set, resources and the lifestyle she wanted. She started interviewing franchisees and found that Molly Maid checked all of the boxes! She finds being a busy mom and owning a business can be challenging but she finds most rewarding! One thing that Kristin has always believed is that doing business in a community means becoming part of the fabric of that community. This is why she actively supports the Ms. Molly Foundation which supports victims of Domestic Violence. Kristin feels good to donate a portion of every clean to help those in need.
