Lesson #1: Expect But Do Not Accept Your Regrets
“In many ways I guess if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have sold it,” says Joyce upon reflection of his 35 year career building one of the most successful businesses in Canadian history. “I would have stayed with it. But that is hindsight.”

Lesson #2: Winning Does Not Matter When You Love The Game
“When you find the niche you love, that becomes your passion,” says Joyce. “For me it was Tim Hortons. It was my world.”

Lesson #3: Create a Fresh Focus For Your Company
The moment Joyce assumed ownership control of Tim Hortons, he knew something had to change. His hockey star partner had a good idea in the coffee shop, but its success – or lack thereof – was speaking for itself. Joyce did everything he could to turn things around, from expanding the food menu to include sandwiches and altering the doughnut recipes, to adding iced cappuccinos to the drink list. But it was not until Joyce stumbled upon a unique business practice that the chain would begin to take off. The company’s new motto? “Always Fresh.”

Lesson #4: Build A Brand That Can Stand On Its Own
In both 2004 and 2005, Canadian Business magazine named Tim Hortons the best-managed brand in Canada. Joyce may no longer be with the company, but that honour is in no small part due to the successful marketing strategy that he initiated in the company’s early years. With a focus on grassroots and Canadian culture, Joyce created a brand that has inspired a nation’s pride and has stood the test of time.

Lesson #5: Learn The Fundamentals of Franchising
Joyce was Tim Hortons’ original franchisee, but it would not be for long. After working under Horton for a few short weeks, Joyce immediately realized that he was on his own. “It was clear that he didn’t know the business all that well and couldn’t help me with any of the problems we were having,” says Joyce. “Tim had no expertise whatsoever, so the burden fell squarely on me.” As a franchisee who had little support from Horton, Joyce began to understand exactly what it would take to run a successful franchise. And, that is exactly what he set out to do after Horton’s death.

Fast Forward...
I am amazed at how frequently my friend Dr. Joyce Mills’ comment comes to mind: “When you know where you are you will know where you are going!” In my message for you today, it is imperative that you have that kind of clarity. I imagine it is easy for you to say, “I am here in this state today, but want to be in a very different one over the course of the next two years.” The clarity about where you are will help you decide the steps necessary to get where you are going!

Direct Sales Strategies- Building Instant Rapport for Sales Success
James is the most popular name for males in the United States accounting for over 4.8 million individuals. Dennis happens to be the 40th most popular, given to just over 600 thousand. If that is the case, why is your dentist more likely to be named Dennis than James? More importantly, how is that relevant to the profession of selling?
