A Revealing Interview: The Franchise King

                             

                    Revealing. I can hear the jokes now:

• The Emperor is wearing no clothes
• The Franchise King Exposed
• Yadda

Anyway, Dustin over at HappinessIsBetter.com, was able to peel away a few layers of clothes, and really, I think, get deeply into my psyche. He was definitely able to pick up on my No-Spin mentality towards the business of franchising, and franchising as a business model. What do you think?

Interview Excerpt:

Dustin- "Are there any part-time, or hands free opportunities?"

Me- "There are very few legitimate franchise opportunities that allow for part-time ownership involvement. Franchises like Great Clips, and Best Cuts are examples of franchises that actually encourage their franchise owners to keep their jobs for awhile, while they are ramping things up. They are not the hairdressers, anyway. As for hands-free franchise ownership, I don’t know of any opportunities like that."
