How to Succeed Podcast How to Succeed At Buying a Franchise with Josh DuBois
In this episode, we discuss buying a franchise with Josh Dubois. Most people consider business ownership to replace income or build generational wealth. Franchising fast-tracks starting a business by providing systems and resources. Josh recommends exploring options over 1-2 months without pressure to decide. He outlines the process of researching franchises, speaking with owners, reviewing financials, and managing expectations. We emphasize having a strong "why" and taking extreme ownership as a franchisee. Success requires being known in the community, following the playbook, and having a positive attitude.
Josh's father transitioned from long hours in the restaurant industry to owning a dry cleaning franchise, which allowed him to attend Josh's games and eventually become a CEO. This lifestyle change inspired Josh to pursue business ownership before becoming a franchise broker to help others without promoting any specific franchise. He lives by "conquer the mind" – being conscious and positive to manifest goals.
