🚀 AHA Moment Alert! 🚀 The other day, I had one of those lightbulb moments that make you pause and rethink your entire approach. We’ve always talked about systemizing our culture at Foxy Box—identifying the right employee profile, and making hiring decisions a breeze by knowing exactly what we’re looking for. But as we’ve been ramping up our Discovery Days and meeting amazing franchise prospects, I realized something crucial. We’ve nailed down the profile for our ideal Foxy Box Employee, but what about the key decision-makers for bringing on a new Franchisee? 🤔 I’m all about making decisions easy and straightforward for everyone involved, so I asked myself—how can we systemize this process? My team and I sat down and reflected on our diverse, eclectic, and absolutely awesome Franchise Partners. We asked ourselves, what are the top qualities that would make decision-making simple? Each Franchise Partner has a unique personality, but to make our decision process seamless, we needed to identify three key qualities that every future Foxy Box Franchisee should embody: 1️⃣ Coachable 2️⃣ Self-Responsible 3️⃣ Would we buy from them? Now, when we meet a prospective franchisee, we ask ourselves—do they embody these three qualities? If the answer is no, there’s our decision. Cheers to clarity, simplicity, and a stronger, more unified Foxy Box family! 💪 Also, please enjoy these candid photo's of Cheryl Laing and I GRILLING our newest Master Franchise Partner Mathieu Doyon, LL.B, MBA from our first in person meeting 🤣 Bronson looks scared for him but turns out he has all of these qualities and he passed all the tests. We're beyond excited for him and Val to bring our brand to Quebec! #Franchising #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #FoxyBox #Entrepreneurship #FranchiseSuccess

I had the pleasure of helping lead the first Franchise Owner Forum for eight motivated franchise owners. The challenge - bring passionate franchise owners to an elevated level of proven business principles. Some valuable insights emerged. 1️⃣ Brand Love / Commitment to Community / Belief in Mission Each owner is deeply committed to their mission: offering a safe space for young people to be active, enhance their physical abilities, and develop mental toughness. 2️⃣ Passion Passion for their franchise brand is evident. However, passion can sometimes breed frustration if improvements don't meet expectations. Channel frustration into positive actions to avoid burnout. Adopting a constant improvement mindset is key. 3️⃣ Pay Yourself Starting a new business disrupts family life. To minimize this, owners need to pay themselves from the business. Focus on meeting family needs during startup, not extravagant purchases like beach front homes or dream vacations. 👉 Ready to tackle these issues head-on?

Ever wondered what sets the most successful franchises apart? It's not just a catchy name or a killer product. 🤔 It's a strong franchise culture built on collaboration and shared success. Think of it like a sports team 🏈 – every player has a unique role, but they all work together towards a common goal. When franchisees feel supported, empowered, and connected to a shared vision, that's when the magic happens. In my experience, a collaborative franchise culture fosters: ◾️Innovation: Franchisees aren't afraid to share ideas and try new things, knowing they have the support of the network. ◾️Problem-solving: Challenges are tackled collectively, leveraging the diverse experiences and perspectives of the entire group. ◾️Resilience: During tough times, a strong community provides a safety net and a source of inspiration. ◾️Growth: Everyone benefits from shared knowledge and best practices, leading to continuous improvement and expansion. Ultimately, a franchise is only as strong as its weakest link. By fostering a culture of collaboration and shared success, you create a network that's greater than the sum of its parts.

You gotta read this letter I hope to receive in 10 years... Dear Luke and team, As a franchise partner in Driverseat for the last decade, I want to give you some feedback as I prepare my business for sale. You were firm but fair. Our culture of transparency, authenticity and straight talk always let me know where I stood, but more importantly, where you stood. You have always had our backs. Even when we were being difficult and pushing back, you listened with intention and let us be heard. I feel fortunate for having had you in my corner. In the early days, when you were holding back on growth to improve the foundation and the unit economics, I was concerned, but that proved to be the exact thing we needed to explode over the following years. You are a leader who lives by their core values. I have never been unclear on what the values of the company are, or what I needed to do to be aligned to them. Lastly, you cultivate an environment of high performers who share a passion for excellence... and having a great time. Today, as I prepare to sell my franchises, I am grateful for the opportunity because I have built a large business that will generate incredible wealth, opportunities and epic lives for my family. Sincerely, Heather. If you could write a future letter to yourself from someone you care about... a child, a neighbour, a franchisee, an employee, your spouse... What would it say? #franchise #entrepreneurship #leadership
