Franchise Mama

A day before FranchiseMama's world launch. I don't think I've been this excited since Christmas of '87 when I got my first mountain bike - if my wife is reading then switch Christmas of '87 with our wedding day. Speaking of my wife, you'll be happy to know that we are finally pregnant! That's right, you heard me, there is a little Moura on the way. So March is a time of celebration for our family and if you are looking to join FranchiseMama, March could be an exciting time for you too.

Starting your search for the right franchise opportunity is very exciting. In the early 90's, my family began our own search. We had just moved from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Blaine, Minnesota. You know when you pour hot water in a cold glass and it cracks? That's what it felt like! We were so cold. But the climate change was only the beginning. My dad had enough of corporate America and he wanted his own family business. So dad attended a franchise show in Minneapolis and long story short, about a year later our family of 5 was running our very own restaurant franchise in Provo, Utah.

Working with my family was challenging and it had its trying moments. But it was also very rewarding. The business was ours. We opened and closed, hired and fired, made money, and ate a lot of sandwiches. We celebrated when we had high selling days and we put our heads together to increase the low selling days. We also laughed a lot with each other and at each other. We were very fortunate to have chosen a franchise system that was very supportive and dedicated to our success. I won't name the franchise because I want you to make your own decision.

Your decision. that's what FranchiseMama is all about. Listen, the franchise industry is working thank you very much, of course not all franchise systems are created equal, but it is a proven way to do business. The question is which franchise is right for you? I mean listen, your job is the second most important relationship in your life, the wrong decision can be... uh, the wrong decision. The good thing is, there is only one of you but there are literally thousands of franchise systems to choose from.

I invite you to take some time to do some soul searching, nothing crazy, just really think about what you want to do for the next 5, 10, 20, 30 years. Then, pull your socks up to your arm pits and make something happen! Because I'll tell ya, when you find the right business for you, its like finding that special someone who complements you just right. Jeff, Ou, and I and our staff absolutely love going to work (at least they better or else...) and you should too. The future is no place to place your better days (thanks for the quote Dave), and we invite you to begin your search today. Take your time, do your due diligence, read the darn UFOC's, and spend some time and money to make the right decision. Here at FranchiseMama we can connect you to some great Specialists who can help you navigate through your choices. Finally, attend a franchise show like the IFE show in DC, the banner is displayed right at the top of your screen. These franchise shows are so valuable and incredibly cheap to attend. And no, I don't get paid if you go, but if you do go, we get to meet and that's nice.

So if you have butterflies in your stomach, we understand, and we hope we can help you achieve your business ownership dreams. We still have a lot to talk about, so stick with us kiddo, you'll go far.

Remember, Mama loves you.
