Do you ever wonder what is going through the mind of a franchisee? What are they thinking and what is driving their decision to buy a franchise? Our guest today is Kevin Brauer, who is a franchisee…
Kevin BrauerGuestTom DuForeHostSo takeaway number one is when he talked about what led him to franchising, and he had, in my opinion, what sounds a lot like a classic franchise experience, where he had been in corporate America for a long time, and traveled a lot, and was gone a lot, and decided it's time to do something on our own, and thought that he didn't quite want to do his own business, but rather a franchise business and go that direction.
Takeaway number two is when he talked about changing from corporate employee to a franchisee, and I loved the quote he said, "When you own it, you own it.
When you own it, you own it." Meaning you have to commit to whatever you're doing to find success and to make it work.
Takeaway number three, toward the end, he was talking about a multiplier and how he's created a community-based business to connect with his community, with his family being involved, him being involved with the local chamber and other activities and organizations, and it's just another reminder that franchising is locally owned and operated, and just a reminder of that, even though there might be a common brand and system that everyone's following, having that local ownership goes a long way.
