Unpredicted Entrepreneur Episode 74: The Franchisee Mindset

Unpredicted Entrepreneur

“I am absolutely passionate about the pet space because of Mercedes and Bugatti. I love technology and what I have built. I absolutely love coming to work every day. I think that that's the core difference - I love it! I love working with our franchise owners. I love the creativity they come up with. I love the daily challenges, looking at those challenges, and then coming up with a technology solution for them versus just saying, ‘Oh, well, let's hire somebody, or let's get a different person’. I like to solve challenges through technology. Fortunately, we have all of our own coders right here at the corporate office. This makes it much easier than having to work with a third party or a separate company where you're just a number. These guys can pivot and move pretty quickly.”

What motivates an entrepreneur to start a business often differs from what drives them to franchise it. Initially, they thrive on working in their business, building it from the ground up, and creating a brand. Once the business is running smoothly, they often seek their next challenge, which is where franchising comes in. It's an opportunity to build something larger and help others start their own businesses. In Dan's case, his passion for pets and the pet industry remains strong, but he also enjoys the challenge of growth and improvement.
