Can franchise ownership really offer freedom, flexibility, and wealth, or is that just a myth? In this solo episode, Erik Van Horn answers the questions franchisees are asking most, including how and when to incentivize managers, what semi-absentee ownership really looks like, and how to structure profit-sharing or equity without costly mistakes.
He discusses the pros and pitfalls of buying resale franchises and offers candid advice for franchisees and emerging franchisors on building leadership, managing expectations, and scaling smartly.
Whether you're launching your first location or acquiring your tenth, Erik’s insights will help you avoid common traps and build long-term success.
“You, as a franchisee, take responsibility for the things that aren’t going well. Can you blame your franchisor for some of it? Absolutely! Is it going to help? Probably not. That's why I say take responsibility. Make the changes." ~ Erik Van Horn
