The Franchise Mindset: Even If You Never Franchise
If your business isn’t built like a franchise, it’s built to fail.
Michael Gerber explains that the most successful businesses don’t rely on extraordinary people; they rely on extraordinary systems.
Think about McDonald’s:
• It doesn’t depend on superstar chefs.
• It runs on proven, repeatable processes.
Your business needs the same.
✅ Document every process. If a new employee started today, could they follow clear instructions and succeed?
✅ Standardize quality. Customers should get the same great experience, no matter who’s on the team.
✅ Make the business run without you. If you can step away and everything still works, you’ve built a true business.
This is how you scale, grow, and reclaim your time.
Are you running a franchise-style business or a business that runs you? – Ali Aydan
