\"franchise<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my 25 years in franchising, I’ve written thousands of articles and have been interviewed hundreds of times. Both have included a lot of my franchise quotes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if you’re thinking about buying a franchise<\/a>-or starting one, the quotes I’ve listed below cover many facets of franchising. My hope is that you’ll be inspired by them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, some may surprise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some may land wrong. And some of them may even be too blunt for you. It depends how open you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With those things in mind, I encourage you to read and fully digest my franchise quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But above all, I encourage you to use my years of franchise experience-and my words<\/em>, to help you get where you want to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Are My 25 Years of Franchise Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Franchise Mindset & Expectations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“For the right person, who has the money and a commitment to work hard and follow a system, franchise ownership is worth a look<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchise business model is all about the system<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When franchising works, it’s unbeatable as a business model<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s this myth created by franchise marketing that franchises are businesses-in-a-box or turnkey businesses. They’re not. You’ll need to do the work<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Opening up a 7-Eleven is not entrepreneurship<\/a>; it’s small-business ownership<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“People who buy franchises shouldn’t think of themselves as pure entrepreneurs, and they better know that going in<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise ownership is not <\/strong>passive business ownership<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Franchises don’t come with a money-back guarantee<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Owning a franchise is not for everyone<\/em>. As<\/em> a matter of fact, it’s not for most people who want to be their own boss<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Excitement about a particular franchise opportunity is not a franchise-buying strategy<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t buy a franchise because you’re sick of your job<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise ownership is not a lottery ticket. It’s a business. And you need to work long, hard hours to make it a winner<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise ownership is not about escaping a job. It’s about choosing a business you can own, successfully<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You need to be able to visualize your life inside the business you’re considering<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Being your own boss is rewarding, but nobody should confuse it with easy<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Franchise King’s Quotes About Franchise Research And Due Diligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise fortune favors the informed<\/em><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Most people spend more time researching a vacation than they do researching a franchise<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Most franchise buyers fail because they never found out the truth \u2014 because they did limited due diligence<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The biggest franchise buying mistake isn’t choosing the wrong franchise. It’s choosing one before doing proper validation<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Existing franchisees have the real answers. Call and visit them<\/em>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Be thorough as you research franchises, and make sure you talk to both happy and<\/strong> unhappy franchisees<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise research isn’t exciting. Losing money is even less exciting<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Calling three or four franchisees is barely scratching the surface. Call and talk with 15\u201320 of them<\/a><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The more franchise validation calls you make, the smarter you become<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It all comes down to how well you’ve done your franchise research<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"the<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Good franchise decisions come from great research, not excitement<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Revenue alone tells you almost nothing. Know what the owner actually took home<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The best franchise buyers ask questions that make the other person uncomfortable<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Quotes on Franchise Buying Red Flags And Warning Signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve been warning franchise buyers about bad systems for 25 years. The same red flags always show up. Over and over<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"lawsuits<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“A pattern of franchisees suing the franchisor is a massive warning sign<\/a>. People generally don’t walk away from profitable businesses<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“High franchisee turnover in Item 20 is one of the most telling red flags in the entire FDD<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“High-pressure sales tactics and confusing FDDs are where expensive mistakes begin<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The biggest franchise disasters happen when smart people rush<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A Franchise Fee discount is not a reason to buy a franchise<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Never rush this decision because you feel pressured or fear ‘missing out’ on a specific, desirable territory<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hope isn’t a strategy when you’re about to drop $200,000<\/a> on a franchise opportunity<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Franchise King’s Quotes About The Franchise Sales Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Nobody involved in the sales process has a financial incentive to tell you what could go wrong<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t let a franchise salesperson or a franchise broker do your thinking for you<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The truth about franchise ownership is usually found in conversations with franchisees, not sales presentations from brokers and salespeople<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise consultants<\/a> \u2014 brokers \u2014 coaches don’t actually work for you. They work for franchisors that pay them $25k\u2013$30k every time someone like you buys the franchise<\/em> they presented to you<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Most of today’s franchise brokers don’t have a franchising background. They purchased training on how to be a franchise broker<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Franchisors that take people who are not qualified are stupid. It’s going to bite them<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t travel to franchise headquarters for a Discovery Day <\/a>until your 80% sure you’re going to buy the franchise if everything looks good<\/em>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The problem isn’t that franchise buyers aren’t smart. It’s that they never got the full story<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Quotes About The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Read the Franchise Disclosure Document. Then read it again<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The FDD<\/a> is not the business. It’s ink on paper<\/em>.” (A<\/em> quote from my dad, Jerry Libava<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Franchise Disclosure Document is designed to protect the franchisor, not necessarily help you make a decision<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A ten-year franchise agreement deserves more than a ten-minute decision<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The self-assessment part of choosing a franchise isn’t a formality. It’s one of the most important parts of the entire process<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchisor is not your advocate in a dispute with your landlord. Read that again<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Franchise King’s Quotes on Legal & Financial Protection in Franchising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Spending a few thousand dollars on a franchise attorney now could save you hundreds of thousands \u2014 or your entire investment \u2014 down the road. It’s not an expense. It’s insurance<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"locate<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“The right franchise with proper legal protection<\/a> can be an excellent path to business ownership. The wrong franchise \u2014 or the right franchise with poor legal preparation \u2014 can be financially devastating<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A franchise is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Treat it that way<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Out The Franchise Attorney Directory<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchise you’re funding matters more than how you fund it. A great financing structure funding a mediocre franchise is still a bad investment<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchisee-franchisor relationship is a business marriage<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Franchisee Success & Failure Quotes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Most people who buy franchises have absolutely no idea what they’re doing<\/em>. After all, how could they<\/em><\/strong>?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Most people looking at franchises tend to get overwhelmed fast<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Most franchisee failures are predictable<\/a><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Buying a franchise and thinking<\/strong> about buying a franchise are vastly different things<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you’re not hesitant about buying a franchise, I’d worry<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It doesn’t matter if someone you know doesn’t like the franchise opportunity you’re thinking of buying. Do you like it and believe in it<\/em>?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of the most important things you can do is create good relationships with other franchisees<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quotes About The Franchise Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Franchise opportunities are risky, too. Forget the statistics<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The winners in franchising won’t be the concepts with the prettiest websites or the slickest sales pitches. They’ll be the franchises built for today’s reality. Not yesterday’s fantasy<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchise industry needs less fluff and more facts<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchising industry doesn’t need more buyers. It needs better-informed buyers<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The franchise industry needs way more transparency<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t know how much longer franchisors can continue to pay franchise brokers $30,000 commissions<\/a><\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For some strange reason, the International Franchise Association never says anything negative about the economy when Republicans are in charge and the economy is<\/strong> lousy.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The International Franchise Association is a lobbying organization. Know that before you write them a several thousand dollar check to become a member<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
