The Price You Pay For Being Too Successful
A very important consideration when you buy a franchise that virtually nobody thinks of is what happens if you are too successful. Most people that approach a business come at it from a perspective of what if I fail. Very few think about the implications of being too successful.

Don't Be In A Rush To Make A Bad Franchise Decision
I’ve had more and more people reaching out to me that all fall into one category. They are all in a rush. They think they have found the perfect franchise and want to rush things ahead so that they won't miss out. If a franchisor can’t wait an extra week or two for your decision then it is the wrong franchise for you. A lot of thought and research must go into this decision to ensure it is the right one for you.
Don’t be in a rush to make a bad franchise decision!

Franchisee Bill of Rights!
Recently I was contacted by Oregon Legislator Shemia Fagan. Ms. Fagan is currently working with several of her constituents that are franchisees. They are working on a Franchisee Bill of Rights for the state of Oregon. This would be a first of its kind bill across the country. Currently many areas have statutes and there are Federal laws that oversee that cut there are no state Franchisee Bill of Rights out there. I happily reviewed the legislation and agreed to testify before the Oregon Legislature. The information in this testimony is highly instructive and touches on some very hot topics in franchising today so I want to share it with you. Enjoy!
