How to Get Back on Track with Your Franchise Research

Mastering Franchise Research: Important for Success

What’s the key to choosing the right franchise? It lies in mastering franchise research. This important skill ensures that your investment has the potential to thrive, safeguarding your time, money, and efforts from being wasted on a franchise that may not yield profitable returns.

What Happens When You Neglect Franchise Research?

Failing to generate enough revenue to cover expenses like rent, loans, or monthly royalties to the franchisor can lead to severe mental health issues, destroyed family relationships, and a plummet in self-esteem. You might even face the heartbreaking decision to close your franchise business.

The Power of Effective Franchise Research

When you know how to conduct effective franchise research, you get vital information about any franchise opportunity.

• Potential earning capacity and timeline to profitability
• Economic stability of the franchise company
• Satisfaction levels among current franchisees
• Excellence of support from corporate management
• Legal history and reputation of the franchisor
• General financial health of the franchisor

Life Happens: Getting Sidetracked

With the demands of work or personal life, it’s easy to get distracted from your franchise research. This is perfectly normal and happens to everyone. The key is to understand the concept of inertia: “An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.”

We struggle to get back on track when we’re stuck in negative momentum because the Law of Inertia works against us. It’s like gravity – a force we can’t ignore.

How to Regain Positive Momentum

Here’s a three-step process to get back on track:

1. Start Small and Build Up: Set small, achievable goals. Action: If you’ve been distracted from your franchise research, set a manageable goal. Commit to spending 15 minutes each day on research. Example: If family commitments have caused you to miss a week of research, don’t try to cram a full day of research in. Instead, spend a short time each morning reviewing franchise information or reading an article. This eases you back into the habit without feeling overwhelmed.
2. Establish a Routine: Create a consistent schedule. Action: Dedicate specific times each day or week to focus on franchise-related activities. Example: Designate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings for research and treat them like important appointments. Use reminders on your phone or calendar. Consistency is key to building a solid habit.
3. Seek Support and Accountability: Engage with others for motivation and guidance. Action: Connect with other franchisees, join online forums, or find a mentor who can offer support and hold you accountable. Example: Attend a local franchise expo, network with franchise owners, and set up weekly calls with one for advice and motivation. Having someone to share your progress with can be a powerful motivator.

Getting off track is normal, but getting back on track is vital for your success as a potential franchise owner. 

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Start small, create a routine, and seek support to regain your momentum.
