Overcoming Worrying & Regret

As a FranServe Certified Franchise Consultant, I help candidates understand the difference between worry and regret. Worry is focused on the future of which you have no control. Regret is when the future is here and you’re sad and loathing in regret of decisions never made.

I’ve seen people have so much regret that it sends them into a spiral of depression over time. As the old saying goes, it’s better to strike out swinging than strike out looking for those baseball fans out ...

Life-Work Balance

In today's world, so many people are trying to find a life-work balance. It can be challenging for sure. As a Certified Franchise Consultant (CFC), I help everyday people create a healthy life-work balance.

Sometimes It is OK to Say No

Yes is such a nice word. No, on the other hand, is often associated with direct chastisement and/or some type of negative connotation. However, when working with a trusted certified franchise consultant sometimes the best word you can hear is in fact, no. My expertise guides me throughout the process of reviewing a candidate’s financial profile, and I take my role very seriously.

Sometimes by encouraging you to look at different franchise options versus the one that is not the right ...

Headlights

As a certified franchise consultant (CFC) my services to my clients are like "headlights" lighting the way as they explore franchise opportunities. Oftentimes, people seeking a franchise get lost in all the weeds; they cannot see a clear path in front of them. Sometimes it can seem dark and lonely.

Have you ever driven on a dark country road late at night in a rural area where the moon is covered by clouds? I have, and I can tell you it's extremely dark, and I remember as a teenager ...

Culture Matters!

Do you remember being nervous on your first day of school because you didn't know who your teachers or your classmates were going to be? You were probably unsure about how your classroom would look, where it would be located, and how it would feel. Some classroom cultures (usually set by the teacher) were good, whereas others were not so much.

When you look at culture, you are looking at the customs, attitudes, and achievements of a particular group. Not every group has a good culture, ...

Jump In!

As a Certified Franchise Consultant (CFC), I am the kind of coach my client relies on when standing on the edge of the diving board ready to dive in. When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when to jump; otherwise, you end up staying in the same place your whole life. That’s boring, unfulfilling and downright depressing.

Entrepreneurship can be scary, no doubt. However, as your coach & confidant who is properly trained and skilled in educating you on the ins and outs of ...

It's Time to Shine

Oftentimes we like to compare ourselves to others, however, it has been said that comparison is the thief of joy. Before the whole world was stricken by the 2020 pandemic, many W2 employees were envious of friends and/or family members who were entrepreneurs. To them, they were free and shining brightly among the rest of the W2 employees with little freedom.

I work with everyday individuals to help them realize entrepreneurship through franchise ownership. As a certified franchise ...

Maybe you were able to get them to fit but it most likely took a lot of effort, and you may have ended up with some broken pieces.

Sometimes impulsive decisions can lead to wrong decisions and leave you broken. As a certified franchise consultants (CFC) I educate my candidates on how to avoid making ...

The Opportunist

Sometimes in life we will experience unexpected circumstances. Wait. Always in life we will experience unexpected circumstances. The question is, how do we respond? Are you more of a pessimist, where you see the glass half-empty and focus on the negative stigma? You're an optimist and you see the glass half-full. Or you could be an opportunist and drink the water while the others argue over the glass being half-full or half-empty.

A certified franchise consultant is specifically ...
