Revisited - A Franchisor's Personal Journey Into Business Ownership

We are going to revisit one of our most downloaded episodes with
my good friend  Mark Titcomb of Floor Coverings
International. In this episode, Mark talks about starting
enterprises out of passion, the mindset game of entrepreneurship,
and his transition from the franchisor to the business owner,
which helped him create opportunities for his family. Why would
you put so much effort into creating someone else if you are a
driven individual with particular traits? Mark's experience
demonstrates the importance of beginning to give your dreams the
chance they require. 


 


In this episode you will learn: 


Fear is what prevents people from operating their own
enterprises 

Describe the "why" for your goal 

Who is a suitable fit for FCI? 

The leading cause of failure for businesses 

Stop asking 'why?' and start asking 'why not?' 

and so much more!
