#Franchising Myth: Franchise businesses are not small businesses. 𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗘. That franchise business that opened up near you is most likely run by a #SmallBusinessOwner. The franchisee may have a big brand behind them, but they're still a small business person whose success or failure depends in part on the support of their local community. This person could be your neighbor! They pay into your local taxes to help support schools, emergency services, and roads. They help the local community thrive by creating local jobs. They probably even donate to other local fixtures such as churches, schools, and local charities. If you're ready to take the first step to becoming a local, franchise business owner that can become part of your local community, get in touch with us! We can help match you up with the perfect opportunities for you, and your local community. https://lnkd.in/gdwvNsVA

Thank you to everyone who supported my fundraising campaign for the Bridge to Brisbane today! What an incredible event! Feeling a little stiff and sore - but it was totally worth it to raise money for a great cause. My reflection: - The end goal seems like a long way when your at the start line. - Celebrate every milestone along the way. - If you need to slow down it’s ok, have a breather and get back into it. - Don’t give up! - Share the wins with your loved ones. - Do it for a purpose. - Have FUN! - Set micro goals to achieve a bigger goal. - Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing, run your own race. - It will all be worth it when you finish and look back. - Think about how you can improve next time. Sounds like it could be 10km run 🏃 or any goal! #thankyou #reflection #goals

The banners that you see at the local baseball field, track, etc. this spring don’t just appear. They come from hard work of local businesses. As I began volunteering in various non profits I always here the solution of “ask local businesses to donate.” I’m the first one to say yes if I believe in your mission but I ask two things. 1. Support us and local businesses. 2. Offer something in return and not just for a donation. #community #business #entrepreneurship #sales #sponsor

It is important to have a written plan and lay out what are you needs for your live events - Creating a policy of needs if you will to see the big picture. Utilize and leverage partnerships to share costs if and where applicable. Being able to go back to that plan and tweak each time to find what works best creates a great workflow to manage your budget - Don't be afraid to change how you have done things. Additionally, donations and sponsorships are always helpful to offset cost for any size live event.

Too Much, Too Many - Moderation is Key 🍸 🚫 Sometimes less is more! Oversaturating your event with TOO MUCH leads to fewer donations. We'll help you find the perfect balance: of revenue streams, games, speakers, and booze. More is not always better (and that includes cocktails). Cheers to moderation for successful fundraisers! 🥂🎉 #ModerationMatters #FundraisingBalance #MarquamSuccess
