If you haven’t spent any time on one of the newest social media websites<\/strong>, you’re missing out on something with great potential.<\/p>\n

I’ve been getting more active on it lately, and I’m finding that it gets my creative juices flowing, especially since I’m a visually-oriented person.<\/p>\n

While I don’t have the\u00a0discipline\u00a0of this New England-based gentleman<\/a><\/strong>, (which means that I can’t sit in front of my pc and stay focused enough on one thing long enough to really master it<\/em>) I am<\/em> learning how to use it in my branding and marketing efforts.<\/p>\n

For example, I threw a comment underneath the image below in the form of a quote. Then I asked for others to do the same. I thought that it would be fun. That was yesterday.<\/p>\n

For some reason, I haven’t been able to get the image out of my head for the past 12 hours or so, and then it hit me; I can use this cool image for something else…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m Trying To Prevent Franchisee Pain<\/h2>\n

Some people don’t understand me. They don’t understand my motivations, at times. They don’t understand why I sometimes write posts that don’t shine a very positive light on franchising.<\/p>\n

I have my reasons, and they have to do with a word that I want you to focus on for a moment;<\/p>\n

Reality<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That word is what drives me. It’s what I focus on when I’m writing my articles. Do I do it gently? Not at all. Should I carry a smaller stick<\/em> when I’m trying to convey a message? Probably. Is my heart in the right place when I write a post like this one<\/a><\/strong>? \u00a0You bet.<\/p>\n

The image below is a perfect representation of how I’m now using Pinterest–the newest social media site<\/a>, to help illustrate how important I feel it is for you to get the professional franchise guidance<\/strong> you need. Does it work?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"mother<\/a><\/p>\n

“I know that you’re excited about going out on your own, and becoming the owner of your own business. I understand. I’m just trying to make sure that you understand the realities of small business ownership, and that you haven’t missed anything in your franchise research. I want you to win! Okay<\/em>? ”<\/p>\n

Would you like to work with me?<\/p>\n

Here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you have a caption for that image?<\/p>\n

Lay it on me in the comment section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
