My business partner and I enjoyed day one of the Business Alliance, Inc. Fall Summit today. Looking forward to more conversations tomorrow!

I recently had the opportunity to attend a Meet The Team Day with Always Faithful Dog Training. I sincerely enjoy working with this group and am even more excited after getting to hear the team talk about their operation, support, and differentiators. Here is a small recap of our conversation below. - There’s a lot of competition in the dog training space, but what sets Always Faithful apart is their leadership approach to training. They do not use any treats, shock collars, or clickers to train dogs. - Support - The franchisees and franchisor are one big pack and want to help each other out. Whether it’s their online forum that has almost every question/issue you can think of, or a new roadblock that popped up, they are truly dedicated to helping you find solutions and sharing strategies. - Business Training - Right now the trainer is coming out to your location to train you in your territory. This offers a huge advantage because you get to learn how to train using your own dog (if you have one) and your family members, friends, neighbors, etc. You and your trainer will be able to go out in your community and start building connections during that first week. It’s also not uncommon to receive your first few clients during training week and being able to have your trainer help with the first appointments is a bonus! If you would like to learn more about the opportunity with Always Faithful Dog Training please feel free to reach out to me. I would love to talk with you!

Day in the life of a franchise consultant and stay at home mom to a two year old. ⁃ While my daughter was still sleeping, I started out the day by having a great conversation with a candidate who is entering the discovery process. We went over what to expect and additional questions she wants addressed during her next calls.  ⁃ Got my daughter up, had breakfast and play time.  ⁃ Did a consultation with a new candidate with the help of Mickey Mouse and a cookie.  ⁃ Swim lessons and rushed back home for a much needed nap (for my daughter 😉) ⁃ During nap time I was able to talk to a developer, reach out to potential candidates, refer a new candidate to a brand, and have a great conversation with corporate on my business development and strategy.  ⁃ Daughter woke up and husband finished work so we decided to hit the trails and enjoy the cooler weather. If you’re looking for a new career and want to be able to take those mid-day swim lessons or have the flexibility to create your own schedule reach out to me today.

Spent some time reflecting on last week. Owning my own business means I have control over my schedule. It gives me the opportunity to vacation with my family and continue to help people pursue their dream of business ownership. Some highlights include: 1- Watching my daughter and her cousins play at the lake all week.  2- Celebrating my nephews 9th birthday.  3- Working with a candidate and looking at senior care business opportunities with them.  4- Sitting with my 90 year old grandpa and just enjoying being in his company.  5- Helping a candidate navigate the discovery process with their dream business. If you’re tired of someone else telling you when you can go on vacation reach out and we can explore what business ownership could look like for you.
