Author, speaker, coach, and publisher Honorée Corder sits down with host Greg Mohr to talk shop about their unique book publishing opportunities. The publishing industry has changed; you don’t need to be confident in your writing ability or even have a fully-fledged proposal to get published. Discover what a company like Honorée’s will do to help you best serve potential readers and clients today.

3 Key Takeaways

• Independent publishing has changed the writing game. You don’t need to have a proposal to work with ghostwriters and the works. There’s no excuse now NOT to write that book. 
• Your book is meant to serve people and show them the additional resources you can offer. It is your job to clearly convey that in the manuscript. 
• No matter where you are in the writing process, make your manuscript as clean and professional as you can. That professionality will take you a long way.

About Honorée Corder

Honorée has taught hundreds of professionals how to become authors with a simple and effective self-publishing process (rivaling the quality of traditional publishing while keeping all of the power in the hands of the author), and she can teach you, too, through her Publishing Ph.D. and Building a Million Dollar Book Business courses.

Honorée is a 53-time author with over 4 million books sold and she has created fourteen 6- and 7-figure income streams--all from her books, knowledge, and expertise. Her titles include You MUST Write a Book, Vision to Reality, Business Dating, and Tall Order! She’s the Founder of Indie Author University and has helped dozens of professionals become authors and dramatically increase their incomes. She was also co-creator of The Miracle Morning book series. 

How collaborative are your employees, both with you as a leader and with each other? Do certain ages or backgrounds clash with one another? David Kraft presents a sure way to fix that by implementing a multifaceted process that leaves happier employees and higher productivity because of it. Join him and host Greg Mohr for this conversation on Franchise Maven to hear how you can boost the flow of your workplace for the win.

3 Key Takeaways

• It’s not about the pay, it’s about creating a workplace where your employees feel valued and heard. THAT is how you’ll get and keep on-site labor.
• No feedback is useless. Whether they say branding is old and needs total update or just want Snickers in the candy machine, collect it and aim to remedy it.
• The current statistic for laborers employed in on-site jobs is startlingly low since the pandemic. Be prepared against this change and get the people you need using David’s program.

Today on Franchise Maven, we take a dive into the publishing world and debunk the myth that you can’t write a book because your English teacher said you were terrible at it in school–or even if you just write poorly. Guest Rob Kosberg joins host Greg Mohr to introduce Bestseller Publishing’s unique program involving ghostwriters, a TED talk-type format, and narrowing your hook with the goal to get CLIENTS, not cash, as your profit.


3 Key Takeaways

• You don’t need to sell a million copies of your book to profit from it. Just don’t expect royalties to be the primary source of profit.
• Just because you were told you can’t write in high school, doesn’t mean you aren’t equipped to write a book. Rob’s program only requires you to talk about what you know. 
• The biggest book mistake is a broad application–NARROW your hook!

FocalPoint hosts an abundance of business coaches who have all been in leadership roles and now bring their talents to elevate the work dynamic of others. Host Greg Mohr invites Focal Point’s CDO, Scott Hartsfield, on this episode of Franchise Maven to share the inner workings of their highly-acclaimed coaching support system and training programs. There’s a reason they had their best year ever during the pandemic and 9 out of 10 coaches join for the people: discover it today.

3 Key Takeaways

• FocalPoint gains clients through networking, but they don’t do a lick of cold calls. Scott shares their alternative solution to cold calling. 
• If you’re employing leaders and coaches in your franchise, you need to do more than equip them with information. Employ them in a full training program–coaches need to learn how to coach first!
• Create a long-lasting culture so that your franchisees are wishing they’d done this 5 or 10 years ago. That type of culture takes consistent work

Take part in the conversation with an entrepreneur who is “both sides of a coin,” with experience in what it takes for a good franchisor to run/support franchisees AND the necessary industry knowledge it takes to ramp up a business. Guest Cary Tober is ready to share his insights from extensive experience in the health and wellness sector alongside host Greg Mohr on this episode of Franchise Maven podcast.

3 Key Takeaways

• While the number of hours you spend as an Alloy franchisee is dependent on the role you choose to take, one requisite trait is the same: you need to be really good with people. 
• Partner with the brands that you work with in a way that will align everything between both you and franchisors AND the franchisees. 
• Consider capping your facilities, both in number of locations and number of memberships. Cary’s company finds less in the fitness industry and creates substantially more for the business.

If you want to add on to your stand-alone business or if you need payroll services in general, this is the Franchise Maven episode for you! Join host Greg Mohr in his discussion with guest Marilyn Manning about the work they employ at Payroll Vault, one that has won many awards and accolades for their hands-on, year-round franchisee support system. Above all, understand why networking is always the making-or-breaking point for a franchisee.

3 Key Takeaways

• Facebook is more of a social consumer-based network. For franchisees, it’s more about promoting clients. LinkedIn is a better networking option. 
•  A day in the life of their franchisees is all centered around networking. Do not overlook the importance of engaging in the community. 
• While no specific background in business is typically required to become a franchisee, one determining trait remains the same: you need to have good people skills.

Guest Richard Whitaker walks us through the inner workings of his franchise, Crownco, in this episode of Franchise Maven, as he outlines for host Greg Mohr what their franchisees do on a daily basis (including outsourcing repair work), the traits of an ideal franchisee (this doesn’t mean you need a specific background), and their all year accessible support systems–both digitally and in person. 

3 Key Takeaways

• An ideal franchisee is not someone with a perfect background in the industry. An ideal franchisee is a good manager and ready to be taught background necessities. 
• If you haven’t done it yet, give serious consideration to a call center or other similar support systems. This will make a difference for your customers and your franchisees.  
• The home industry is booming right now; everyone is building. Because of this, the construction industry is an excellent franchise opportunity.
