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

You only think<\/i> you need to have passion for your business<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because you\u2019ve probably heard it said-or have read about<\/a> it somewhere.<\/p>\n

Heard what? Read what?<\/p>\n

This:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to have passion for your business in order for it to be successful<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a lie.<\/p>\n

A big, fat one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Picking Up The Real Poop<\/h2>\n

Did you know that you could pay<\/em> someone to clean up your dog\u2019s poop?<\/p>\n

Better yet, did you know that there are several<\/i> franchises that specialize in that service?<\/p>\n

Crazy.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve never talked with or met a franchisee of Pet Butler<\/a>, or UnPoop. (I made that name up<\/i>)<\/p>\n

But, I\u2019d be willing to bet a box of Hefty\u00ae yard clean-up bags that none of the franchisees of dog poop clean-up businesses are passionate about dog poop.<\/p>\n

Would you like to take that bet?<\/p>\n

I didn’t think so.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to have passion for your products or services in order for your franchise business to succeed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You just have to be passionate about it succeeding<\/i>. That’s the real poop.
