What Would Your Franchise Business Say If It Could Talk To You?

Have you ever wondered what your business would say to you if it had a voice? Do you especially wonder what it would say about your own performance, the way you run it and what you get up to in it?

I am going to take a stab at what I think a pretty typical franchise business would say to many of its franchise owners and its up to you what you get out of it.

So here we go;

Hi boss, I just wanted to say a few words about our time together so far and in going forward from here.

I’m excited about where I think we are going and I’m appreciative of where we have been. I know you always try to do your best and do what you think is right, but looking at it from my perspective, what you think is right or the way to do things is not necessarily always the best for me.

You see what you think is influenced by so many things like your experiences, friends & family, peers, and worst of all your biases. All this can and does take away your perspective on what is best for me and us – and that is what really matters.

My worry for you and us is that you will shut out opportunities for us to grow together because they are not what you are used to, or that they are a little confronting or uncomfortable compared to what you think right now. Maybe they even challenge you personally.

I know I have seen you do this in past when you didn’t give a suggestion or piece of advice much thought or time before you knocked it back. You probably wouldn’t agree but deep down you know when you have taken an “I know better approach”.

Take the advice that is offered from people who have either seen it, or done it them self count less times.

We are also missing out on ways for me to grow because you come to work here everyday and work so hard on doing the things you should be training and paying others to do for you. That’s why you bought me so that you could be your own boss and make great profits. I don’t like it when I see you doing things the others are paid by you to do.

I want thriving growth and I know you do too, but you need to let go of thinking you have to always do everything.

You bought into a network that has systems to run me and you should be running these systems, not running me!  

I would feel so much better if you trained the team up to run me and you were mainly working on ways to make me grow even faster. You can’t do that while you are here running me everyday, it’s just not possible.

Anyway please do give this lots of thought as I am here really only to provide prosperity not perspiration and worry for you.

Let’s grow!

Your Business

Well, if any of this rings true for you there is no time like the present to take a step back from your business to give yourself the clarity you need to make some decisions. Decisions that can ultimately impact in one way or another on every aspect of your life.

My hope if this applies to you is that increased perspective leads to a decrease in perspiration for you in your business.
