We are revisiting one of our most top downloaded shows with guests, Zach Beutler & Josh Skolnick of Horse Power Brands. In this episode, Zach and Josh discuss their key learnings from more than ten years of franchising. The largest roadblock to an entrepreneur's success is succumbing to the shoulda, coulda, and woulda's of life. But, whether you're interested in franchising or other business models, Josh believes that in order to go past this, one must leap into the unknown.

In this episode, you will learn:

•        Zach and Josh – on failures and bouncing back bigger and the brand so much stronger

•        The ideal candidate for franchising and the basic process to get fit for a franchise

•        Leading with transparency and integrity that care about people’s success

•         Actions speak louder than words; leap into business ownership

•        Build your own dream and take control of your financial future

•        And so much more!

About Zach Beutler & Josh Skolnick: 

Josh Skolnick is the co-founder and CEO of Horse Power Brands, a home services franchisor and the parent company of Mighty Dog Roofing. Josh founded Monster Tree Service in 2008 and grew the brand to a multi-million-dollar U.S. network. 

Zachery Beutler is the co-founder and CDO of Horse Power Brands. He began his career in franchising as a young franchisee with Nebraska-based Complete Nutrition, later becoming a multi-unit franchisee of Color World Housepainting, Inc.

 The idea of HorsePower Brands began in 2019 when franchise veterans Josh Skolnick & Zach Beutler, determined to disrupt the franchise industry joined forces to form HorsePower Brands. Frustrated by the lack of accountability by franchisors to open and support franchisees the duo wanted to create a platform focused on operational excellence and accountability. Accountability starts with ownership and that’s why they own at minimum a controlling interest in all the brands to which their ownership group attaches their names. All steps of selling a franchise opportunity and supporting franchise owners are handled under one roof by their staff. They have developed detailed and transparent franchise development strategies that allow them to responsibly award franchise opportunities to the right people. More importantly, they are open to all the franchise territories they award and have experienced operations teams to ensure their franchisees achieve their financial goals through business ownership.

We are going to revisit one of our most downloaded episodes with my good friend  Mark Titcomb of Floor Coverings International. In this episode, Mark talks about starting enterprises out of passion, the mindset game of entrepreneurship, and his transition from the franchisor to the business owner, which helped him create opportunities for his family. Why would you put so much effort into creating someone else if you are a driven individual with particular traits? Mark's experience demonstrates the importance of beginning to give your dreams the chance they require. 

In this episode you will learn: 

• Fear is what prevents people from operating their own enterprises 
• Describe the "why" for your goal 
• Who is a suitable fit for FCI? 
• The leading cause of failure for businesses 
• Stop asking 'why?' and start asking 'why not?' 
• and so much more!
