Smart Steps for Serious Franchise Investors
When you contemplate business ownership, that's a big step for you, your professional and personal life. You're not going to take it lightly. You've probably heard me say before that the research is key, and indeed we have a structured research process around it. But when you're first starting out, what's the first thing that you're going to do? You're going to go to the internet and probably pull up a well-known search engine and start putting in search terms, but remember, you may just be seeing paid results. It's important to not confuse true structured research with this casual inquiry.
Understanding the Difference Between Being the Product and the Client
Think of the effort that you went into to get those search terms and also realize that you're not the client there, you're the product.?
I remember when I was fixing a car and I needed a certain type of specialty wrench and I looked up that wrench.

That's not what I was asking for.?
