Week 10

This week I learned a lot about franchising I spent my free time learning and looking at different franchising opportunities, I think that it was really an eye opening experience for me to learn about different companies that could be opened as a franchise. I think it is interesting that you can open up different companies that are essentially just giving yourself a job, the real trick is to develop companies that will eventually run themselves in a franchise. Looking at some franchise opportunities they only give you the chance of running one franchise. I also remember going out to dinner once where the couple at the next table from me was actually there because the owner of the fast food company had taken him out for being the top preforming manager of his franchises that year. I thought it was sort of interesting as they were not the type of people to attend a finer restaurant but it was obviously an important night for them. I think if I really was in the same situation I would just cover the bill for the couple and let them go alone, it was sort of an awkward mixing of two people who were of obviously different social classes. I have been enjoying the 100 dollar challenge, and my adwords are not going as well as I had hoped this last week, I was unable to sell anything but I am more than half way there so I am still excited!
