The problem:  Lack of control as a Franchisee

For franchisees, the main disadvantage of franchising is a loss of control

While they gain the use of:

  • a system
  • trademarks
  • assistance
  • training
  • marketing

the franchisee is required to follow the system and get approval for changes from the franchisor. For these reasons, franchisees and entrepreneurs are very different. 

The Cure: If you're an incurable entrepreneur - do NOT get a franchise.  Entrepreneurs hate following systems and rules and that's exactly what you've got to do to make a Frachise successful.  If you're an Entrepreneur and definately want to get a Franchise, throw your extremely large ego to one side and follow the Franchise system.
