Episode 2220 notes So, you want to own a franchise? Buy into a pre setup plan, work it hard and make great money. Then, maybe sell after a few years and do it again. All this while enjoying like, making your own rules and taking great vacations. Well, before you get started, please listen to my two outstanding guests from Francise Resource . CEO Luke Towey and Chief Development Officer Dillon Towey have owned, built up and sold multiple franchises successfully, but what they do now is help those who are starting out, figure out the right franchise for them, what to expect, what are the gotcha’s and what to expect that is always ‘unexpected’. This is our episode called: How to create a healthy business by selecting the correct franchise (for you). Are your Top 5 franchise candidates in your Buy-Box? Did you know that: -Nine times out of ten, that regarding new francise owners, "what they think they're going to do probably doesn't fit what they're really cut out to do". Why was Dunkin Donuts a not perfect franchise for a couple with kids starting school while one in early child development was in their buy box… it’s not what you think.
