As a past VP of Franchise Development for a national tax preparation company and a contract franchise developer for a technology service company, I really appreciate what Dr. Hayes says in both the book's Introduction and the "17 Steps..." section. Even before the reader reviews the 12 selected amazing franchises, this book is very valuable. Skipping those sections would be a big mistake. They provide the prospective franchisee amazing insight about the franchising process - the do's and the don'ts. By also providing a link to an online tool that matches personalties to appropriate franchises, the author has highlighted one of the most common reasons franchises (or start-up businesses) could fail. This is extremely valuable as a self assessment tool. It can help save a prospective franchisee from selecting a franchise opportunity that is a poor fit for their personality type.There are some very attractive franchise opportunities profiled by Dr. Hayes, and anyone considering running a franchise owes it to themself to read this book. It is a quick read and very noteworthy. I highlighted a number of areas and you will too. I also recommend franchisors and their development/marketing teams read this book as a "refresher" on who you are targeting to award franchises.
I just finished reading through this book. I'm in the market to invest in a franchise and I'm doing research about franchising. This book is really good for people in the early stages of their decision making process. I have narrowed my search to a few types of businesses that I want to get into and this book provided some really good resources for getting more specific information from some big name franchises.Over all an easy read nothing too technical and overwhelming.
Yes, I learned about 12 franchise opportunities in the story behind them but this book also help me decide which type of franchise. Like do I want to work from home, in a store, multiple units or multiple franchise brands. I was able to use this book as a guide to determine that a service franchise was one that I would enjoy the most. Great book I recommend it to anyone.
I purchased the book to read about the 12 amazing franchises but was pleased to find out that there was more. I especially like the part early in the book about what to look for when trying to identify an amazing franchise and what makes them amazing. I have purchased other books by Dr. Hayes and have not been disappointed in the past. I wasn't this time either.
This was a great read about some of the more successful franchises in the business. Dr. Hayes’ extra chapters with the basic information and sources is the cherry on top to the perfect handbook for franchising!
1. I love your style. The last book I read of yours was You Can't Teach A Kid To Ride A Bike At A Seminar. And I remember how effective your style is.2. You will absolutely hook people with this preface. It is, hands down, a piece of artwork. A masterpiece. And I'm not flattering you; I'm giving you the real honest feedback. The Preface alone is worth the price of your newest book.3. The 12 Franchises you review are all very good companies, with super-successful track records for New Franchisees.4. The tips you leave for people wanting to leave the security of a job for the security and freedom of a Franchise are also an added bonus, even if people are not ready TODAY to leave.
John Hayes is the first and last word on franchises. His knowledge is encyclopedic and his ability to impart that knowledge is unmatched. If your dream is to own your own business, get this book. It could save you thousands of dollars and nearly that many headaches.
There is nothing more satisfying than a fresh perspective! Dr. John Hayes opened up a new world for me through is amazing book, and I highly encourage others to take a little time out of their day to read this gem. As someone famously quoted, "Our opportunities are endless", and after reading this; I sincerely believe that I can help my company franchise itself.
