Everyone that gets into franchising does so as a stepping stone to the ultimate goal of time and financial freedom and leaving a legacy for the future. Achieving these goals require planning. How effective and thoughtful you are at that planning will determine how well those goals are achieved. On this show I share the best practices of several franchisees and what they have put in place to prepare for the next chapter in their business and their life through succession planning.

During this show I share the best practices from 4 experienced franchisees who are also leaders of large multi-unit and multi-brand organizations and what are the things that they consider when selecting a new brand.

Many franchisee enterprises have super star employees who have been with them for a long time. These team members have overcome many situations and grown with the organization even through challenging times. They are ready for the next step. It is now up to you to create growth opportunities for them, or they may leave your organization to pursue that growth. In this show, I will share the best practices recommended on how to structure your business to provide growth opportunities for the next generation of leaders, keep them in your organization, and be excited to be part of your team.

This summer the AFA will be celebrating its 7th anniversary of helping many franchisees across dozens of brands and industries grow a successful multi-unit enterprise through quality training programs, and yet there are still people in the franchise industry that do not know who we are, what we do and how we can help them. So, in this show, Aicha will be sharing all about the AFA and how we can be the resource that you have been looking for to help you accomplish your business and financial goals.

Even though the franchise model has been around for over 100 years and it has exploded in the last 60, there is still a lot of confusion around what is a franchise. As a matter of fact, if a person is not directly involved in the industry at a mid to high level, they are hard-pressed to be able to accurately describe what a franchise is. In this week's show, we describe what a franchise is and tell you a little of its history so that you can better understand where the model came from and what it does and does not offer.
