Hi,

We’ve been sold a very old, quite useless idea.
It was an easy sale because the idea used to be true.
The idea is that information enables success.
Eg: “If I just know how to lose weight… What’s the best investment?… I need to figure out whether to do Keto or go Vegan… How do I communicate better with the 14 year old?… How do I get confidence?…”
If information was the answer anyone with access to the internet would be skinny as rake, rich as a king, and living in a castle.
Sure, we live in the information age.
But having access to more information than you could ever read…

Strong enquiries are being seen by the switched-on groups according to the franchise community that I hear from.

Whether this is simply due to COVID or wider market realisations and acceptance that franchising is the answer to people wanting to step out and own their own business I don’t know – it doesn’t matter.
