Those same people are actually the ones that have the highest success rate (lowest risk)

Was catching up on Franchise Times reading and just noticed this…

Love it!

When franchisors say 'We don't want to just sell a bunch of units. We are ultra selective'...

What they really mean is 'No one wants to buy this franchise but we're hoping you do!'

99% of the time

Would love to be proven

The new trend in franchising is if any emerging brand shows potential of being a winner, it sells out most the country before early franchisees even validate

Everyone wants the next 'unicorn brand' and brands leverage this positioning to their advantage

Health issues, nasty lawsuit, negative publicity, etc.

No one is invincible and we are all human

Work hard, be kind and remain humble
