Change the Game: Share the Work building a business that works better for everyone (especially you)
The Endless Bookcase
Business can be an engine for creating personal freedom as well as wealth, but for many successful small business owners it doesn’t feel that way.
What if you could turn your business into an autonomous enterprise that runs without you, but is driven by your vision and values? A business you could step up with or away from whenever you choose?
You can, if you change the game and share the work of running your business with the other people in it. This book will open your eyes to…Business can be an engine for creating personal freedom as well as wealth, but for many successful small business owners it doesn’t feel that way.
What if you could turn your business into an autonomous enterprise that runs without you, but is driven by your vision and values? A business you could step up with or away from whenever you choose?
You can, if you change the game and share the work of running your business with the other people in it. This book will open your eyes to how.
"If, like me, you find the idea of business processes dull as dishwater, then this was more than a pleasant surprise. If you want a boring business book that ticks the box but not much else, then don't get this.
But if you want to be inspired by how your business could be managed without the need for management staff. That instead it could be run by inspiring and empowering others, then you'll love it." -

Although buying a franchise can be a fantastic way to get up and running with your own successful business there are many traps and pitfalls for the unwary buyer. Indeed that is exactly what prompted the production of this short handbook. We have a regular stream of people coming to us seeking help after they have bought the wrong franchise. Some of these people are very intelligent and sensible individuals who admit that they have made a foolish mistake – often because they got carried away by a very strong sales promotion for something that had real appeal.
In many cases all we can do is advise them to speak to a solicitor who may be able to help them. In some cases that works because the franchisor (the seller) has got them to sign an unreasonable agreement or has not kept its side of the agreement but not always. Sometimes the franchisee made a poor choice and has to live with it.
So, we decided to put together an inexpensive handbook to help anyone who is thinking of buying a franchise make a better choice by being well informed about the issues. We recognise that there is a limit to what you can gain from just reading a handbook but we believe that many of the purchasing problems we have witnessed would have been avoided if the franchise purchaser had read this handbook first.
There are lots of very good franchises on offer – why not buy the one that is right for you!”Other authorsSee publication -
