@SuccessWithJake For hands-off: Only move forward with a rockstar operator who has skin in the game A franchise will definitely provide better support (compared to zero) and opportunity to scale The biggest risk is the person

Should you stack multiple brands or focus on one? Diversifying income sounds great But here’s the catch: You need to grow one business big enough to fund others At that point it’s often easier—and more profitable—to keep scaling the original

Never stress about taxes again by following this simple system: I used to freak out every April I would scrape together cash from multiple accounts & pull money from savings I was worried about making payroll, projecting out sales, & seeing where we could delay other payments. Now, I don’t even think about it. Every year we estimate how much we’re going to owe. For example: Income taxes - ballpark at Profit x 30%. = $500k Real estate taxes - at 10 locations the business pays the annual property taxes directly. = $250k City & State Taxes - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, & New Jersey for me. = $50k (example) Rent Override - Franchise-specific issue. We get charged additional rent at a few locations based on sales = $150k (example) In this example, we owe $950k over the next 12 months. $950k / 52 weeks = $18,250 per week to save. Every Monday we transfer $18,250 into the “tax savings” bank account. The money in that account isn’t mine. I’m just holding it for other people. This mindset makes it less painful when those big bills come due. All tax payments come directly from the tax account — not touching our operating cash. Once taxes are finalized in April, I will re-calculate for next year. This system has completely relieved the stress of tax season. The bills are paid with money I’ve already written off. Sometimes there’s a little cash left over in the tax account that I take as a bonus. Action Plan 1) Open a new bank account 2) Create a spreadsheet to estimate taxes 3) Setup a weekly recurring transfer

@mhp_guy I’ve been into many auto repair shops. 95% are shit They aren’t buying these. The market would be car enthusiasts home garages

I highly recommend first-time business owners take the time to learn accounting and handle their own books for the first few months This forces you to review every credit card charge and pay close attention to your cash flow Then you can hand it off to someone else

Most people believe franchising is either: A) Unattainable - millions $$$ to open Or B) "Chuck in a truck" - buying yourself a job Both extremes are true But there's an entire world in between Where ordinary people, like me & you, can build amazing cash-flowing businesses

@MatznerJon That’s a good strategy

@BzNav_R_Mont That's awesome. Hoping to visit one day!
