3 Value Bombs

1) Once you’ve already proven that you can execute the model, that’s when you can start innovating the model.

2) If you have good union economics – if you have something that customers need – and the market is growing, then franchising can be a really attractive route.

3) Franchising means you’re in business for yourself – not by yourself.
