Flipping the Script: From Burger Flipper to Franchise Expert with Greg Mohr

Have you ever considered flipping the script on your career narrative? Join us as we sit down with the astute Franchise Maven, Greg Mohr, and unwrap the often misunderstood world of franchising. Discover how Greg is debunking myths left and right; franchising isn't just for the well-heeled aiming to launch the next fast-food empire. In fact, service industry franchises are within reach, and Greg's own story — from flipping burgers to franchise extraordinaire — is proof that the right guidance can lead to a fulfilling entrepreneurial chapter, no matter where you started.

Financing your dream doesn't have to be a sleepless endeavor. We delve into the practicalities of injecting new life into an existing franchise versus starting from scratch, and the myriad of financing avenues available, from leveraging retirement funds to SBA loans. Greg lays out the crucial steps of exploration and research, and why a franchise's established model is such a golden ticket for investors. Meanwhile, I share the nuts and bolts of due diligence, from navigating the competitive fitness franchise landscape to fostering a network of support among franchisees, ensuring the seeds you plant today grow into the blossoming business you envision tomorrow.

But our conversation doesn't stop at dollars and deals; it's about the broader impact of sharing knowledge. Greg's journey as a Wall Street Journal bestselling author underscores how education and servant leadership are the backbone of successful franchising. He offers a candid look at his balanced daily routine, proving that professional satisfaction and personal well-being can coexist beautifully. By the end of our chat, you'll have the tools and inspiration to connect with Greg, harness his wealth of knowledge, and perhaps even write your own success story in the thriving franchise industry.
