July 2015 ENTREPRENEURSHIP Is Living A Few Years Of Your Life Like Most People Won’t, So That You Can Spend The Rest Of Your Life Like Most People Can’t. -Unknown- The New Corporate Alchemy... ...Gold Watches To Pink Slips By Frank Agin, AmSpirit Business Connections There once was a nobler time. You studied hard. From there you learned a trade or earned a degree. Which you could parlay into that first job. It wasn't just a job, however. It was the beginning of a career. Sure, you started at the bottom, but there was plenty of opportunity to work your way up. One rung at a time you climbed the corporate ladder. Associate. Senior Associate. Supervisor. Manager. Assistant V.P. In addition, the environment was positive. Pay raises were always respectable. Time off was seldom an issue. Moreover, by working diligently from nine to five during the week, the evenings and weekends were yours. After 40-or-so years of this, you had done your time. Surrounded by admiring co-workers, your service to "the company" was celebrated. Several heartfelt speeches from people who considered you a friend. A big cake. And a gold watch. Finally, an appreciative higher-up, walked you to your car and sincerely told you, "Be well ... See you around ... Don't be a stranger." From here, you settled into retirement. Drawing on a well-funded pension, social security, and health coverage, you did not have a care in the world. It was a nobler time. That nobler time, however, is not now. Somewhere along the way, the world changed. No one is to blame. It just did. Whatever the case, the change was not to your benefit. No longer is a degree or a trade good enough to steer you clear of a dead-end job. You might need additional certification or a Masters, if you are lucky enough not to have to start over because technology made your "stock in trade" obsolete. Even when you find that job with career potential, you are not set. Wage freezes and shrinking benefits are now the norm. Moreover, you seem to be permanently stuck in a no-advancement mode. Any hope of change is the result of a lateral move, either internally or to another company. While the overall compensation and opportunity dwindles, the work doesn't. Even starting work at 0-Dark-30 does not immunize you from having to work into the evening and over the weekend. As such, you sacrifice time with friends, family, or whatever. Moreover, no matter how hard you work (or little you accept) the whispers persist. From behind closed doors in offices far away, these voices are from higher-ups you have never met. Pouring over nameless and faceless numbers they ponder as to whether "the company" can replace you with someone or something less expensive. While today that answer may be "NO," it won't always be. One day, that "pondering" will not come out in your favor. In an era of downsizing, off-shoring, and automation, it is no longer a question of "If" but "When." At that point, an almost stranger abruptly escorts you to the door. There is no celebration. There is no cake. There is no explanation other than, "Your services are no longer necessary." Just like that in a perverse sort of alchemy, "corporate America" has transformed your gold watch into a “pink slip†and nothing more. This is the new corporate reality, like it or not. While you have little control over it, you have options to avoid it. One is becoming your own boss and acquiring your own piece of the American dream. ******************************************************************************************************* Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.†Are you allowing your professional life to wander aimlessly, or stand still? Do you dislike your corporate job, but don’t know how to find your real niche in life? Rapidly the World is changing before our eyes. Consistent pay raises have given way to ongoing wage freezes, or minimal increases. The notion of lifetime employment is being replaced by downsizing, outsourcing, and off-shoring. It is no secret: to build wealth in America you need to build a business. To ensure success, however, you are best to not go it alone, which is where the notion of franchising comes in. We are now in the era of the franchise. Did you know that that 90%+ of all franchises opened during the past five (5) years are still open? With what degree of certainty can you forecast that you will still have your job in five (5) years? Franchises are everywhere today. Even during tight economic conditions, consumers must still buy goods and services. As the economy continues to improve and expand, businesses in operation today, will have a golden opportunity to increase their market share. In fact, financial experts believe that franchising is the “wave of the futureâ€. During the next 10 years, franchises could comprise over 50% of the retail and service sectors. This tremendous growth should be expected based on the underlying concept-Franchises offer aspiring business owners the greatest potential for success, with the least amount of risk. Franchises will provide thousands of individuals the opportunity to realize their dream of successful business ownership and financial independence. Within both the U.S. and world economies, franchising is continuing to evolve. This evolution will create even greater avenues for wealth accumulation among both franchisees and franchisors. The existing franchise systems will become more successful and continue to grow, while new franchises will be developed and introduced to the market. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2015 – Franchise businesses are expected to grow and create more jobs at a faster pace than the rest of the economy in 2015 for the fifth consecutive year, according to The Franchise Business Economic Outlook: 2015 released today by the International Franchise Association (IFA) Educational Foundation and IHS Economics. "Franchising is an American success story. Independently-owned and operated local franchise businesses are growing faster, creating more jobs at a quicker pace and producing higher sales growth than other businesses. Franchising is a vital engine of economic expansion in the United States and 2015 looks to be another strong year for franchise businesses," said IFA President & CEO Steve Caldeira. Make no mistake, corporate loyalty is a one-way street. And, job security behind the corporate curtain is a myth. So, don't just change your curtains...change your view. You may enjoy seeing the new landscape.

June 2015 ENTREPRENEURSHIP Is Living A Few Years Of Your Life Like Most People Won’t, So That You Can Spend The Rest Of Your Life Like Most People Can’t. -Unknown Business Success... A Piece Of Cake A Piece of Cake by Frank Agin, AmSpirit Business Connections Who doesn't love cake? No one, that's who. Some might like one kind more than another – white, chocolate, sponge, angel food, upside down, or whatever. Nevertheless, everyone loves cake. There are two ways of baking a cake. With the first, before you bake the batter you have to gather up all the various ingredients. You will need things like all-purpose flour, salt, milk, shortening, flavoring, and baking powder (not soda ... very important). Then you will need to correctly measure each out, being sure to keep straight cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons. Finally, you need to mix it all up in the right order. With the second way, you buy a box of cake mix, add some milk, a couple eggs and you are good to go. Either way (after 25 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees and some frosting), you have delicious cake to enjoy. Yum! Success in business is much the same. Who wouldn't want to have their own successful business? Any reasonably intelligent person, like you, would. After all, who doesn't love freedom, pride of ownership, and the ability to chart their own course? Again, there are two ways to accomplish this. With the first, you need to develop the concept, including the product or service, pricing, as well as means of distribution. Then you work up the branding, such as logos, marketing materials and advertising programs, and then diligently protect it all with copyrights, and trademarks. Then you pull this all together in a process, which might include legal agreements, training and development programs, procedures for dealing with employees and unhappy customers, as well as researching equipment, technologies and other infrastructure. Whew! With the second way, you simply buy a franchise. Either way (after infusing commitment, energy, and enthusiasm), you have your own successful business. Cool! The only question remaining is whether you want to undertake the high expense and incredibly complicated (and risky) process of building a successful business from scratch or essentially grabbing one ready-to-go off the shelf? Remember with franchising, business success is really a piece of cake. Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.†Are you allowing your professional life to wander aimlessly, or stand still? Perhaps you have always dreamed about being self-employed? So, if self-employment...business ownership is your aspiration...are you going to stand on the sideline and watch opportunity pass you by, or take positive steps towards realizing your dream…the independence, freedom, and improved work-life that is often enjoyed by business owners? Remember, a window of opportunity won't open itself.... The 10 Types of Franchises to Watch in 2015 ENTREPRENEUR Every year we gaze into the future and try to pick 10 franchise categories that will make the biggest splash in the coming 12 months. For 2015, we’ve chosen a mix of established categories that are being invigorated by new ideas, sophomore industries that are just starting to show their strength and promising but unproven concepts. No matter what type of franchise you’re interested in pursuing, always do your research before investing. ü Children’s Enrichment - Children's sports, fitness, art and music programs continue to perform well, but STEM is the big word in the enrichment world. In the past few years, several fast-growing franchises have focused on making science, technology, engineering and math fun for kids. ü E-Cigarettes - With close to 6 million adults now using e-cigarettes, it's no surprise that stores have started to franchise. But legislators scrambling to catch up with the trend by imposing new regulations could challenge the fledgling industry's growth. ü Fitness - You may hate going to the gym, but in the franchise world, there's nothing but love for the fitness category. Large gym franchises are still going strong, while smaller concepts are gaining muscle by offering niche options, like kickboxing, Pilates, dance and in-home training. ü Paint-and-Sip Studios - First added to our trends list last year, this entertainment concept is still relatively new but already proving itself, with more competitors making an appearance and existing companies experiencing impressive growth ü Pizza - Traditional delivery-focused pizza franchises abound, but it's fast-casual, build-your-own joints using an assembly-line format that are bringing renewed popularity to the sector. ü Potatoes - Is the humble spud ready to go from side dish to starring role? A handful of new franchises are betting on it by offering menus featuring baked potatoes, fries, tater tots, chips and nothing else. ü Property Management - In the wake of the housing market crash of 2008, the number of rental properties rose--and so did the need for people to manage those properties. The success of the franchises that stepped up to fill that need has attracted a healthy group of new competitors. ü Senior Care - Senior home care has become one of the mainstays of franchising, but the field continues to evolve. New companies are competing with their more established counterparts by introducing additional services like patient advocacy and assisted-living placement. ü Spa Services - In just over a decade, the massage business has become one of franchising's most competitive areas. Other spa and beauty services, like waxing, threading and spray tanning, are following its lead to reach more customers through franchising. ü Vending - Vending has long been a popular avenue for those looking to start their own business, yet it has rarely been franchised--until recently. The success of these new ventures is likely to attract even more vending companies to the franchise model in the future. **************************************************************************************************************************************************** Every year, thousands of people dream of owning a business and are drawn to the independence, flexibility and freedom of being self-employed.

The Most Highly Paid Employees…. Following my graduation from UT, I spent 25 years toiling in corporate America employment in increasingly more responsible Human Resources roles. Over the years, I came to learn that many Compensation Specialists considered commissioned sales people to be the most highly paid employees (excluding corporate senior executives) in the country. Based on my HR experience, I also believe this to be true. In the Business Section of the March 3, 2015 issue of the San Antonio Express-News , there is an article highlighting the six (6) wealthiest San Antonio billionaires on Forbes magazine’s listing of the world’s billionaires for 2015…Charles Butt; Rodney Lewis; Tom Benson; B.J. “Red†McCombs; “Kit†Goldsbury; and James Leininger. Reading the article got me to thinking. Is there a common denominator between these rich men? And, there is… The correlation between each of these highly successful men…They Are ALL Present or Former Business Owners. So, think about it. The highest paid employees (excluding corporate senior executives) are employed in commissioned sales roles. And, the wealthiest folks in the U.S. (and the free-world) are BUSINESS OWNERS. Yep, it is true…where there is risk, there can also be great reward. Wealth: Having ownership in a business is the classic path to creating wealth. When you build a business you are building an asset that grows in value and can eventually be sold--hopefully for quite a bit of money. This wealth payoff to the owner is on top of the income received during the operation of the business. Owning a business involves taking more risk in the beginning, but the reward is that any wealth created through your efforts will accrue to you rather than to someone else (as it does when you have a job). This factor is very important to most people who choose to become business owners. There is a book written by John Ortberg, “If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boatâ€. The “boat†is what you hang on to, or whatever represents safety and security to you and that which pulls you away from the high adventure you actually seek. For many, moving towards the dream of being a business owner is simply letting go of the boat we call “corporate Americaâ€. What it really entails is going after what you were made to do, leaving the illusory lifeboat behind and setting sail for uncharted waters.
