Before the class, the director of the\u00a0Entrepreneurship program there pulled me aside and told me that<em> a couple of board members from an area non-profit<\/em> were going to be in the class. I thought that to be a bit strange; why would <em>a non-profit<\/em> want to learn about franchising? <em>Werd.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The non-profit was SAW Inc. I had never heard of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Their\u00a0representatives\u00a0introduced themselves after the class, and told me that they were very interested in exploring franchise ownership.

For 40 years, SAW has been a reliable staffing and outsourcing resource for some of the largest companies in northeast Ohio<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They were hoping to find a franchise business that their employees could participate in, and at the same time, add revenue to their non-profit. (<em>As you probably know, donations have been on a pretty steady decline for most non-profits and charity organizations<\/em>.) They wanted me to help them come up with a few ideas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I did, and it&#8217;s turned out so well, <strong>they just opened up their 2nd franchise location.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was able to be a part of the<strong> Grand Opening ceremony<\/strong> in 2009 for their <strong>1st franchise<\/strong>, and there was a local TV crew in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see what franchise business they opened up, and the impact it&#8217;s made for some very worthy and grateful employees, watch the short video here titled, &#8220;<strong><a title=\"parma ohio just a buck news video\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justabuck.com\/whatsnew.asp\">Parma Ohio Just a Buck in The News<\/a><\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of all the things that I&#8217;ve been able to be a part of in franchising, <em>this one tops the list<\/em>, and probably always will.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpbolvw.net\/click-2568962-10928720\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.awltovhc.com\/image-2568962-10928720\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If you&rsquo;ve recently subscribed here, or have recently found me because you&rsquo;ve purchased my franchise book, welcome.
