Love your work
O
ne of my all-time favourite quotes about management (because we all have them… don’t we?) is from the late, great Brian
Clough: “I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business, but I was in the top one.” You don’t need quite that much chutzpah, however, to be a top boss. The management franchise model means that you can work for yourself in almost any industry, but leave the hands- on delivery of the service to a team of others working under your supervision. The ideal candidate to invest in and run a management franchise is described as having “passion, dedication, determination and energy” by one franchisee. Does this sound like you? If so, turn to page 66 to read more about taking the lead. Sigmund Freud said “love and work, work and love, that’s all there is” but then he never had Netflix. But if you like to mix business and pleasure you will find reassuring case studies and stats on pages 52 to 55 where the couples in franchising feature lays out the realities of running a franchise with your spouse. Much like management franchising, couples running a business together are
doing so in any and all kinds of sectors. The wisest words (from a woman, it so happens) on the matter are: “Define your roles, don’t take work home with you, maintain a life outside of it, keep communicating, and stay friends.” Sage advice indeed.
As I’m a northerner born and bred (who’s subsequently decamped down south it must be said) I am particularly looking forward to returning to EventCity in Manchester for The Northern Franchise Exhibition. Turn to page 33 to read the show guide detailing features, workshops, advisers, keynote speakers and a wide range of investment opportunities that will give you the tools to build your own business.
Speaking of building, I’ll leave you with another Cloughie quote – it’s a good one: “They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I wasn’t on that particular job.”
