Thinking Outside the Box: Building Mutually Beneficial Business Relationships In my journey as an entrepreneur, I've learned that sometimes, stepping out of the box can lead to the most valuable business relationships. It's easy to stick to the familiar – to network within our industry or circle of contacts. But true growth often comes from expanding our horizons, reaching out to new people, and exploring unconventional avenues for collaboration. By doing that we open ourselves up to fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and unexpected opportunities. We forge connections with individuals and businesses we may never have crossed paths with otherwise – and in doing so, we create mutually beneficial relationships that propel our businesses forward. So, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Attend events outside your industry, reach out to professionals with different expertise, explore unconventional partnership opportunities, and maybe even dance a little. You never know where these new connections may lead – but one thing's for sure: they have the potential to fuel your business growth in ways you never imagined. ✨ Shout out to my co-host and friend, AC for being one such excellent business connection! She's a powerhouse in her field and collaborating with her always means I walk away having learned something new to help my business thrive. 🤟Stay frosty Robert M.

I love it when Angela Coté, CFE gets fired up talking about franchising in one of our rants! And I couldn't agree more about the number of locations not necessarily equating to success. It all comes down to profit. I hate when people make a general statement like "royalty self-sufficiency happens at 50 locations." That is so generalized because you're factoring in businesses that have low EBITDA margins too. Heck, you could have 1,000 locations but if they aren't performing well what's the point? What do you think? Let me know in the comments, check out the full episode (linked in Ang's post) and as always... 🤟Stay Frosty Rober M.
