New year resolutions for budding franchisees in 2020

2020 is around the corner, and it's that time again to make new resolutions.

Most people might have already started preparing their things-to-do-list for the next year. These resolutions usually vary from getting fit to involving in a hobby and working hard. However, a lot of people might be thinking to quit their 9 to 5 jobs and shaping their careers in a different direction in the New Year. If you’re one of them, investing in a franchise business might be one of the best decisions.

If you’ve already set up a franchise outlet or planning to open a new one in a few days, first of all, congratulations! Indeed, this is an exciting time in your life, but you can easily get caught up in daily errands.

It’s a tradition to form resolutions before you begin a New Year, says Jim Laganke. Franchise owners are no exception. In fact, these resolutions will help your business grow better and gain more profit.

Below Jim Laganke, the president at Stewart’s All American, explains some of the important resolutions a new franchise owner needs to form for 2020.

Achieve greater clarity of franchise goals - As a franchise owner, you can easily get caught up in having a goal of “growth” or “success.” Well, there is nothing wrong in having any of these goals. However, lack of direction and depth can keep you off from your franchise goals. This is why before you step into the New Year, it is important to achieve greater clarity of your franchise goals. For example, if your goal is to succeed, you need to specify what success means to you.

Make networks
- In most cases, franchise owners are so caught up in dealing with their franchise errands that they fail to socialize and build connections. This is what you shouldn’t do, says Jim Laganke. Add networking in your New Year’s things-to-do-list. Apart from taking care of your franchise business, make sure you get yourself involved in social engagements. By doing this, you will get more exposure of what's happening around you and understand your customers’ needs, accordingly you can make changes in your marketing strategy.

Getting organized
- Everything, from growth to success, network and clarity, comes only when you’re well organized. Therefore, in the coming year, you need to get more organized whether it’s about setting up systems and getting things more organized in your back office.

Takeaway

2020 is almost here! So, get yourself ready for new challenges and hurdles to cross in the coming year. These some of the resolutions franchise owners can take to find success and grow their business in the New Year.
