Weekend Business Movie Recommendation: The Founder IMDB Rating: 7.7/10 #Sales #Business #franchise Are you looking for a business movie that will entertain and enlighten you this weekend? If so, I highly recommend checking out "The Founder". This 2016 film tells the true story of Ray Kroc, the man who turned McDonald's into a global fast food empire. Why you should watch it: "The Founder" is a great movie for anyone who is interested in business, entrepreneurship, or American history. It is a story about ambition, greed, and the power of one man's vision. It is also a reminder that even the most successful businesses are built on the backs of others. Movie summary with key scenes: The film begins with Ray Kroc as a struggling salesman of milkshake machines. He travels to California to meet with the McDonald brothers, who have a small hamburger restaurant that uses his machines. Kroc is impressed by the McDonald brothers' efficient system and their commitment to quality. He sees the potential for McDonald's to become a national chain, and he convinces the brothers to let him franchise their restaurant. Kroc quickly expands McDonald's across the country, but he soon clashes with the McDonald brothers over control of the company. Kroc is willing to do whatever it takes to make McDonald's a success, even if it means exploiting the McDonald brothers and their original vision for the company. In the end, Kroc succeeds in turning McDonald's into a global fast food empire. However, he does so at a cost. He alienates the McDonald brothers, and he creates a company that is more focused on profits than on quality. Key takeaway for lesson learn points: 1. Be persistent and never give up on your dreams. 2. Be willing to take risks and step outside of your comfort zone. 3. Surround yourself with talented people who share your vision. 4. Be prepared to make sacrifices in order to achieve your goals. 5. Be aware of the potential costs of success. Conclusion: "The Founder" is a thought-provoking and entertaining film that is sure to leave you with a lot to think about. If you are looking for a business movie that will challenge your beliefs about entrepreneurship and success, then I highly recommend checking out "The Founder". Casting: Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc Nick Offerman as Mac McDonald John Carroll Lynch as Dick McDonald Laura Dern as Ethel Kroc I hope you enjoy the movie! #moviereview #DrKen #FOUNDER

It’s okay to mess around!🤔 Many people say many hands spoil the food but what I believe in is the more the merrier. What many would perceive as a messy situation was, in fact, a ground for beautiful ideation. Who knew eating a cake would give a different perspective to the discussion? It became evident that the clutter on the table was not an obstacle, but a catalyst for creativity. Messy situations often evoke a primal fear in us. We're conditioned to equate order with success and cleanliness with productivity. But what if, instead of fearing the mess, we accept it as a fertile ground for ideation? This meeting was about to demonstrate just that. It was a reminder that we should never fear chaos, for within it, we discover the seeds of innovation. In this world of structured order and routine, messy situations are our moments of liberation. They remind us that innovation is not born from the neat and the predictable, but from the uncharted territories of chaos and unpredictability. The next time you find yourself in a messy situation, don't recoil in fear. Accept it, for within that disorder, you may just stumble upon a beautiful idea that could change the world. Have you ever been frustrated by a mess on your table or got a ray of inspiration from the mess? Do let us know in the comment 👇🏻 P.S. We've messed up a lot, unapologetically. #business #startup #branding #franchisebusiness #franchising #dessertbusiness #networking

Do you love what you do? I once randomly sold a bottle of ketchup for £50 (long story for another time🙈) I couldn’t help myself - much too the horror of my mum who was mortified I’d sold her bottle of sauce! I believe Entrepreneurship is in my blood and somehow I’m hard wired to always seek opportunities - I don’t know how to be any other way….🙈 Saving the deposit to buy my first house at 21, I needed to earn extra cash. As well as my full time job in Reccruitment I needed more money. I bought toys, make up and clothes in bulk from a wholesaler and organised parties so I could sell them and make a profit. I made £5k and had the deposit to buy my first home by myself. When my daughter was born and I couldn’t work, I set up as a head hunter executive consultant and was hired to carry out search and selection for clients. I managed to fit work around my daughter and her hospital appointments. Later, when it got too big I sold the business as I no longer needed it. I honestly don’t think I know how to be any other way than an entrepreneur. Obviously not Richard Branson level (yet!). I’ve made loads of mistakes and had a few failures but I’ve also learnt a massive bunch of skills by doing this! My mind is always open to new opportunities and growth. And now I get to do what I love most, to teach cleaning business owners how to grow their businesses!🥰. To use everything Ive learned from growing my cleaning business and passing it on to my clients. Thats my “happy”- right there 🥰 doing what I love and helping others to see growth opportunities in their business. I think Im where I’m meant to be in life! Are you?

As my wife and I are about to embark on our 15th anniversary trip abroad next week, I am encouraged by the reminders below from Dan Sullivan. I hope that you will also be convicted/inspired: For decades, I’ve taken 155 days off every year. This is almost unheard of in North America, especially for entrepreneurs, who tend to wear busyness as a badge of honor and blur the lines between work and play. But it’s important to draw a line to take time off, especially if you want your life and relationships to flourish … not just your business. Besides, if you’re burnt out, the quality of your work will suffer too, so there’s really nothing to gain by working all the time. Free time isn’t just a reward for hard work; it’s a necessary prerequisite for doing good work. Taking time to rejuvenate renews your energy and creativity. It also makes you more productive when you’re at work. Allowing myself to take 155 days off every year has benefited my health, my relationships, my productivity, my business, and the lives of all the people who work at my company. And you have the opportunity to benefit in the same way. As your own boss, all you need to do is grant yourself the freedom to take time off. So tell me, how will you spend your Free Days?
