You have a cadre of loyal customers, strong earnings and a steadily expanding base. At this point, many business owners look to franchising their business as the next step.

Don't Think Too "Small"
Don't Think Too "Small" Simple as it may sound, many small companies stay small because their owners never dare to think big. It's true: Negative or defeatist thinking is the greatest obstacle to business success. As long as the entrepreneur thinks of himself as a nickel-and-dime operator, his company will never be more than a financial midget scratching around for subsistence earnings. It is an easy trap to fall into. You may, after all, run a small venture with relatively few employees and limited capital. Accepting the role of a small-time business owner is an inexcusable business mistake. It is like drawing a circle around your company and promising not to grow any bigger than these artificial borders.

Make it a good news story
As a Small Business owner operator, business is often personal. So what happens when our business or we as the business owner ‘stuff up’? Because it is personal, do we take it as a reflection on our own character? Do we bury our head in the sand and pretend that it didn’t happen? How do we deal with it when there isn’t an organisational structure to hide behind? It can be quite challenging. I think that ignoring the problem is the worst thing you can do. A better approach is to acknowledge your shortcomings and try to turn a negative story into a good news story. Here are some recommendations on how.

The Franchise Question
The question of whether or not to purchase a franchise plagues many new and established entrepreneurs. For some it seems like an east indoctrination to the world of being your own boss. For others, it appears as an opportunity to get in on a good thing without the risk of being an owner/operator and putting other business ventures at risk.
Hey Boss!
Perhaps a full or part-time assistant is needed to handle the administrative duties that often keep the owner/operator away from his or her “real” job. Others have no option but to “share” the real job with another qualified professional. This entire issue is further complicated by the fact that home-based sole proprietors tend to be a guarded group. The fear of loosing control and even clients is paralyzing.
