Praise for "Plan for Profit"

One of the programs I give is titled, "Plan for Profit: 6 Actions for a More Rewarding (and Profitable) Tomorrow". I recently did this program for our franchisees at Super Wash and I was blown away by some of the comments we received after the session. It is truly inspiring to hear things like, "Your message of 'make time to do the things that are important to us' was a strong wake-up call. Yes, I have heard it many times but know in my heart that I must 'plan for life' so that it doesn't plan for me. Thank you for that kick in the pants, positively driven encouragement." To be able to offer encouragement to not only a franchisee, but to someone who's a mom, a wife, a daughter, a volunteer, a community leader is really special to me.

From another franchisee, who had been struggling with their business due to a detrimental family health situation that had taken precedence in their lives, we heard, "I am knee-deep in doing things at the wash from my list I made at the meetings. I have to say I truly enjoyed the franchisee meetings. I learned a lot and the best part is that I now have 'renewed energy'." Could it be that we have the ability to not only help people with their business life, but their personal life too? What an beautiful opportunity!!

In my opinion, part of the responsibility of a great speaker at a franchisee meeting or a company convention is to compel the audience to want to make improvements. To that end, I smiled ear to ear when we received this email, "I was, and still am, pumped from the meeting. Both of our minds were clicking the whole way home. Thank you for the support, encouragement and comfort of being there when we need help...I have so much 'Renewed Energy,' everyday I am doing something new."

I am so thankful for the opportunity to speak with franchisees of different systems and inspire them to renew their spirit and "Plan for Profit"!
