Franchise Veteran Talks About the State of Franchising & The Importance Of A Mastermind (1 of 2)

Join your host Giuseppe Grammatico and his guest Erik Van Horn
in this two-part episode as two figures in franchising pick on
each others’ brains on all things that may confuse someone new to
franchising. Erik ran his own lawn company from college, flipped
a condo, had money, and bought his first-ever franchise. From the
experience of wearing many different hats in his
career, Erik shares why he didn’t stay as a regional developer,
his ideas on what makes a good consultant, and whether it is a
good idea to work with multiple franchise consultants or not.


In this episode you will learn:



Erik Van Horn – on how real estate helped him enter
franchising


Area development is good for the short-term


Some people don’t know franchise consultants exist


How do you vet the right consultant for you?


Working with multiple consultants is mudding the waters



About Erik Van Horn:


Erik Van Horn is a franchising specialist and expert in
multi-unit, multi-brand ownership as a franchisee and
franchisor.


From franchisee to franchisor, regional developer, investor,
consultant, and podcast host, Erik has worn many hats over the
last two decades. His diverse experience has provided him with
unique insight into the challenging aspects of the industry.


Erik has owned 6 brands in 8 states. But more than growing his
businesses, Erik has a passion for helping people. That’s why he
has helped 1,000 people (and counting) find great opportunities
that meet their lifestyle goals so they can find the same freedom
through franchising that he enjoys.


In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Erik founded the
Franchise Tribe Mastermind--a group dedicated to helping
franchisees learn how to shortcut the path to success without
sacrificing their lifestyle. With over 80 members and counting,
the Franchise Tribe Mastermind has quickly become one of the most
valuable resources for franchisees.
