BOOM!
Have you seen a boom or bust in investing lately?
Take a look at interest rates? They are up. The highest they have been in 15 years! Now is not the best time to invest in real estate due to that.
What about the markets? The S & P is down 43% this year. Sure you could gamble with a potential explosion of growth there... but everyone says we are heading for a recession, so probably not likely.
And if your retirement is tied up in the markets, it really doesn't look good.
But what about franchising?
Now there's a BOOM!
Capital available? Absolutely!
Make your retirement investment grow? No problem with the ROBS program.
Oh, and VC companies are tossing money into concepts and helping them grow like crazy.
Are you going to be part of the franchising boom? Or are you fine with the bust of the markets?

A premium experience can make all the difference in a business. Not just the service itself, but even the smaller things, like the towel you use to dry yourself off or the architecture of the space.
Pause took all of that into consideration, but not only is their experience fantastic, so is their service. They are a boutique fitness concept with seven modalities and retail to offer customers and franchisees.
John Klein from Pause explains the new concept that franchisees can get in on the ground floor with today!

Pete and Nat talk a lot about what it takes to be a great entrepreneur and franchisee. Most of the time they talk about business acumen or liquid income, but every once and a while they talk about how to lead a life that will allow you to flourish.
Today they talk aboutΒ Life Force by Tony Robbins and how it is helping them live a better life and be better businesspeople.
From drinking the right amount of water (including out of the garden hose) to breathing, they discuss the tips they have picked up and applied and how they can help you.

It may still be pretty hot out, but it's never too early to think about Christmas lights, right?

Career transition is scary. Why should I give up my job this year when the employment market is so hot?
Will a future employer look badly upon me if I run a franchise in the executive model?
What do I do if I canβt handle my full-time job and a franchise?
We are replaying a podcast with a guest who can answer all of these questions for you.

Way back in 2020, we recorded an episode with Shirley Kefgen from FranFund. Not only is it one of our most downloaded episodes, but the information is still as pertinent today as it was two years ago.
They cover all the different types of loan options available to franchisees from SBA loans to lines on brokerage accounts.
The episode closes with a discussion on the five most common franchise funding mistakes Shirley sees and how to avoid them.

A while back, Pete talked with Mike Bahun of Fundraising University about their very niche franchise. Their franchise helps schools and sports teams fundraise.
No one likes to fundraise, but with Fundraising University the process is made easier for all involved. When a franchise lowers friction, everyone wins.
On this episode you will hear how this franchise is helping schools and providing franchisees freedom.
