Q: Why might franchising be preferable to starting an independent business?
Franchises provide established systems, training, and marketing support, which significantly improve odds of survival compared to startups, especially for first-time owners who need structure and guidance.
The Truth About Franchises with Rich Potter
Q: What are the steps someone should take when considering purchasing a franchise?
Start with a discovery call to assess fit, then obtain the Franchise Disclosure Document, have an attorney review it, and ensure you have enough working capital and a plan for training and ongoing royalties before committing.
218 Years of Authentic Compassion with Howard McComas IV
Q: What has been the biggest change in the funeral business over the years?
One major change is the decline in identification with organized religion and the corresponding need to offer flexible service options, such as celebrants and cremation alongside traditional practices, to meet diverse cultural and spiritual needs while maintaining the value of grieving processes.
Nicolette Halladay on the Courage to Trust Your Story
Q: What makes a book feel mission-driven for an entrepreneur or wellness professional?
The book should articulate a clear why and reader who benefits from the work, showing how the author's opportunities expand beyond the pages and how the book supports their broader mission and client base.
Nicolette Halladay on the Courage to Trust Your Story
