In this podcast episode, I discuss the misconception that franchise ownership is a passive investment. I clarify that while some franchises may advertise themselves as semi-absentee or executive models, it doesn't mean that you can be completely hands-off. Owning a franchise is starting a business and requires responsibility and involvement from you as the owner. I will discuss different ownership models, from true executive models to owner-operator models, and emphasize the importance of understanding the expectations and time commitment required. Additionally, I will highlight the need for research and diligence in finding the right franchise opportunity.
