In this episode, the CEO of United Franchise Group™ (UFG) talks about the benefits of becoming a franchisee, how he has embraced a practice of lifelong learning to thrive in the franchise space, the value of always maintaining a positive attitude, and why you should build your career around what you are good at, not what you love! About Ray Titus:Ray Titus, CEO of United Franchise Group™ (UFG), founded Signarama®, growing it into the leading sign franchise in the world and laying the foundation for what has become United Franchise Group, the global leader for entrepreneurs.

His philosophies on growth, positive attitude, and family influence the core values that have driven success within the award-winning brands he has developed from conception to international expansion.  Episode Highlights: Keep looking towards the future. Successful entrepreneurs evolve with the times, so don't let yourself dwell for too long on the past otherwise you'll be left behind! (14:53) Almost everything you need to know about business can be found in a book!

(52:18) Wherever possible, keep things simple. Business doesn't need to be complicated, and you don't need a to-do list of a million things. Set yourself a few goals and work at them until they're achieved before moving on. (52:53) Ray's best advice for entrepreneurs:“Always look for the lemonade out of the lemon. Always look for the silver lining, the opportunity that others aren't looking at.” (51:20)Connect with Ray: LinkedIn Books Website Resources Mentioned: Signarama Fully Promoted Transworld Business Advisors Accurate Franchising Incorporated Exit Factor Titus Center for Franchising Profit First Straight-Line Leadership Lincoln on Leadership The Six Types of Working Genius  Death by Meeting The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Buy then Build Grit The Founder Expand your entrepreneurial toolkit with our curated collection of Business Books.Follow Beyond 8 Figures: LinkedIn Twitter Website Affiliate Disclaimer: Some links in this episode are affiliate links.

We are meeting with A.J. Titus, President of United Franchise Group™, the global leader for entrepreneurs, and Signarama®, the world's largest sign and graphics franchise. When A.J. Titus was a boy, his father taught him to memorize a list of eighteen principles for life. These principles became known as The List. In this concise yet thoughtful volume, Titus shares a list of fundamental life lessons taught by his father -- principles that have been instrumental in shaping him and which he hopes will impact others.  In part two, we play a clip from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast. 

On this episode, franchising powerhouse Ray Titus shares a biblical basis for pursuing peace when conflicts arise in business.    Ray Titus is the CEO of United Franchise Group, the global leader for entrepreneurs, which has over 1600 locations in over 80 countries.     He co-founded Signarama with his father, Roy Titus, who was also the founder of Minute Man Press. He founded the very first Signarama store in 1986 and has since applied his successful business model to other business-to-business brands.   Through his generous support, the Titus Center for Franchising was founded at Palm Beach Atlantic University, where over 60 of their business school students are currently getting a concentration in franchising, and they're providing networking and education for some of today's most successful franchisors. Theology of Business is the show for marketplace Christians seeking to explore and apply God's will for business. If you want to learn more about how to do business for the glory of God and shape culture through discipling the business world, this show is for you. | Entrepreneurship | Marketing | Nonprofit | Church | Author | Startups | Marketplace | Ministry | Business as Mission | Faith and Work | Faith | Success | Leadership | www.TheologyofBusiness.com

This week we welcome Ted DeWitt, Vietnam Veteran and owner of Signarama in Covina, CA.  Ted remembers the horrors and tribulations of the Vietnam War as though they were yesterday. But rather than relive his days fighting overseas as though they were playing over like a never-ending time loop, he made the decision decades ago to channel what he saw, what he learned, and what scared him the most during his time in Vietnam to establish one of the most successful signage and graphics companies in California.  Ted has over 40 years in the graphic arts industry having served in senior management positions for several multi-million dollar corporations, and his hope is to share that knowledge with the veteran community.  He shares his insight and knowledge with fellow veterans on how they can best channel the attributes and experiences they garnered during their time in the services to become their greatest selves upon entering the private sector.  Ted also discusses the importance of community, giving back, and mentoring the next generation.  He discusses getting active in your local community, and creating bonds that will help you grow personally and professionally.  So whether you are starting your own business, opening a franchise, or just looking to start your civilian career off right, this is the episode for you!This week we decided instead of highlighting a veteran owned business we would ask everyone to participate in a little challenge.  This week we are asking that everyone set aside $10 and purchase an item or service from a local small business.  So whether that is buying a pair of shoes at the local shoe shop instead of Walmart, or taking the kids to the local bowling alley for a few games, put $10 dollars towards that purchase.  Every dollar we spend supporting local businesses helps keep our communities strong and self reliant.  Join me in supporting what makes this country great...small businesses and our local communities.Support the show and get your Bulletproof Veteran apparel at https://amzn.to/3BA3dx9 or see all the available shirts at http://bulletproofveteran.com/apparel.

Ray Titus has always lived and breathed franchising, with his father introducing him to the concept at a young age and Ray opening his first Signarama location at just 23 years old.  But it wasn't until he moved away from the ‘dog-eat-dog' mentality that so many young entrepreneurs adopt, and stepped into a servant leader role, that United Franchise Group truly took off and became the international powerhouse that it remains today.  On this episode, we speak with Ray about his rapid trajectory from first-time franchisee to CEO, and how unifying each of UFG's 10 brands under one collaborative umbrella has helped each of its 1,600-plus franchisees to feel a part of something bigger.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up to our newsletter at https://www.globalfranchisemagazine.com/, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

Today on the show we are talking about GROWTH! If you want to be successful in your business you need to continue to grow. That sounds obvious, doesn't it? Who wouldn't want their business to GROW!? But those who are successful put themselves in a situation to grow in the right direction, at the right rate, and at the right time! Refuse to become complacent in your business, don't accept the status quo; Allow plans to change and be flexible so that you can take advantage of the opportunities for growth that come your way; Grow your business into and experience that your customers will appreciate... be unique in your industry, and in everything you do keep the masterplan in mind: Keep to the long game and don't lose patience. "To Improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often" - Winston ChurchillNo matter which type of growth you are talking about: Business Growth, Personal Growth, Spiritual, Emotional, or Physical Growth... It is an important part of becoming the best you can be. Growth is change, and it's often frightening because it's different. But, just like other changes, they key is being prepared and having a plan... and growing too fast is just as dangerous as not growing at all! But don't stop that process. Change, adapt, grow, and overcome... be willing to do what it takes to grow your business, and you will be able to dominate your industry.Quotes for Topic: ( Growth )“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth."— John F. KennedyThere are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder. -- Ronald Reagan ​“A business that is not growing after all, is dying.” ― Shawn Casemore ​“I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.” Abraham Lincoln ​“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” Ralph Waldo Emerson"Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together."— James Cash Penney, founder, JC PenneyBusiness Tip: 4 Principals to adopt for Growth:1. Don't be complacent. If you're not moving forward you're moving backwards in the market2. Be Adaptive - Being rigid makes adjusting to growth and change impossible.3. Create a Unique Experience - By standing out from the crowd you can keep from being boring in your industry4. Practice Patience. Planning for the long game is KEY to sustainable growth and success.----Book to Read: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Covey - https://amzn.to/2OV93RzTool to Try: GrowthTools.com - So many free tools, awesome stuff!GUESTS:Remy & Justin - with RJourneytwitter.com/ThisIsRJourney www.instagram.com/thisisrjourney/ www.ThisIsRJourney.comMichele Klepser - Sign-a-Rama, Fort Worthsignarama-fortworth.comThanks for joining us on Inspired to Greatness, please check back with us each and every week for fresh tips and new guests.

Ask The Frantrepreneur Who Owns One After losing her job, Lisa Freidel and her husband, Mark – both military veterans – were facing some adversity, but nothing stands in the way of a U.S. Army Major and his West Point graduate wife! Their strength is seeing adversity and finding a resolution. That resolution, a new Signarama store, is located at 1005 Middlebrook Dr., in Liberty, MO. Mark, 53, had been a stay-at-home dad for the past 13 years to the couple’s two sons, while Lisa, 48, got her MBA and spent the past 20 years working in the private business sector and corporate America. In part 2, we discuss what every entrepreneur needs to know before buying a franchise from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast.

But then people discover Signarama at a franchise expo and if they take time to learn about the opportunity, they’ll later drive away from the expo and all they’ll see are signs, because they’re everywhere! “You’ve been bitten by the bug when you start touching the signs,” says Tatem, who is Signarama’s brand leader.

I sit down with Casey Valiant at Signarama and we talk about being in the family business, their sign grant program for non-profits: Signs of Support, quality of life improvements for employees over the years, and technology advances he has seen in the industry. evansvillpodcast.com/92
