A handyman and home improvement franchise in one

Opportunities! I have been asked what is different about business in America in comparison to the other countries I've lived in, the simple answer is the number of business opportunities here. The size of the market and economy is enormous compared to many other countries around the world. So if you take that fact then add that House Doctors offers a handyman franchise and home improvement franchise in one you can understand how these franchises are of interest to a growing number of entrepreneurs.

Summary

Find the world a place of opportunities and possibilities and if you don't, help make it so. At House Doctors corporate part of our mission is to source addittional revenue generators for our franchisees. House Doctors started in the 90's as a professional handyman company. Many of the original franchisees did the handyman work themselves. The company and the model have evolved with changing market conditions. This evolution has meant the introduction of new revenue generators and the opening up of many new markets. Our franchisees to day do not swing the hammer but manage teams of handymen who work on the to do lists of busy homeowners. The technicians will do everything from changing a leaky faucet to remodeling a bathroom.

Business opportunities are everywhere

In today's world the internet is a great driver of business opportunity. I came across a new site recently www.myclaimsource.com which is dedicated to improving the consumer experience when contacting insurance providers. The site provides free assistance on filing insurance claims. The founders built the site after several frustrating experiences filing insurance claims. Help and advice on how to file a claim, just wasn’t there.

Starting a business

That's how a lot of businesses start. Someone has a need and then frustrations with the existing service provider. They then decide that they could do better themselves. Think about House Doctors , it was started with the aim of bringing professionalism to the handyman industry. The industry was well known for its unrelaible service.

Survive or succeed. Choose the right franchise.

Funny what makes the world go round. Depending on where you live you could be chasing survival or success. We are lucky enough to live in a part of the world where success is a real option for many of us. Increase your odds by choosing the right franchise.

Choose the right franchise

I've been involved in franchising since 1988 both as a franchisee and a franchisor. I've done a trip around the World, seen a live Panda in China, swam off the Great Barrier Reef, climbed Aires Rock, become a Chief in Fiji, started businesses in 3 countries, met a Hall of Fame entrepreneur and met an Astronaut but I'm still always amazed when I meet a prospective franchisee that has not identified the basic skills needed to help make a particular concept succeed and there is an obvious mis-match.

Match your skills

I've seen franchisees succeed and fail on both sides of the Atlantic.Those who succeed go through the same training and have the same support as those who fail. In most cases it then comes down to the skills that each individual franchisee brings to the table. There are lots of franchises out there, to increase your odds of succeeding make sure that the skills you bring to the table are the skills needed to make the franchise you are buying succeed.

Franchising explained through a video game

Owning any business can be challenging and risky. Why then is franchising a better bet? Allow me to introduce you to Osmos. Osmos is a unique, fun, video game but when I looked at it I always felt that it also explains the benefits of buying a franchise. Think of the bubble organism you control in the game as your franchise.

Summary

The aim of the game Osmos is to propel the single-celled organism called a mote into other smaller motes. Each mote that joins makes the original single-celled organism bigger and stronger. However like business the game has it's ups and downs so beware of colliding with a mote larger than your own. This will result in you being absorbed. That's game over.

The Osmos Effect in business

Osmos gives you a good feel for a phenomenon that occurs when you’re growing a business, but in business it takes several years to experience what it takes just a few minutes to experience in Osmos:

1. At first, challenges seem impossibly big
2. Sooner than you think those challenges become within your grasp
3. Then you look back and the old challenges now seem small.

And on and on and on......

The Osmos Effect in franchising

I’ve seen the Osmos Effect happen many times in franchising both as a franchisee and as a franchisor. As franchisees and franchisor grow, the Osmos Effect” can be experienced in 4 ways:

1. Sales targets that once seemed unachievable, later feel almost too small
2. Business opportunities that felt too much, later we feel guilty because we never followed up
3. Competitors that once seemed like giants, later become insignificant
4. An office that was large, now seems really small.

Each franchisee that joins makes the franchise network bigger and stronger and builds strength in each individual business.  

In fact, the Osmos Effect applies to almost every aspect of a growing franchise so it's important for you to gain an appreciation for this phenomenon as early in the process as you can. If you don't you’ll never have the confidence to create your bigger picture visions and growth goals in the first place.

Bill Gates referred to this when he said that “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.”

Unfortunately in business this phenomenon can take years to experience but if you want to feel the effect fast I recommend you play Osmos. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/osmos/id408054320?mt=12

Why a franchise

Wheter its a handyman franchise, home improvement franchise or any business. There are many business types out there and just as many reasons why someone would consider owning one. I want to control my own destiny, I'm fed up with the ups and downs of the Corporate world, I would like to build an asset for myself. But why a franchise? In this post I would like to consider a some of the advantages that franchising brings to the table.

Summary

With more and more people considering business ownership what advantages do you get if you buy a franchise. Is it really something you should consider? Would it be better for your start up than going on your own?

Statistics show that entrepreneurs starting new businesses on there own can fail at an alarming rate while those starting franchises have a greater chance of success. That's probably why the number of franchises is expected to grow yet again in 2013.

Partnering with a leading franchise can be the right way to go.

At House Doctors the number of prospective franchisees showing interest over the last few months is the most that we have seen in any similar period over the last few years.
Franchising is indeed on the rise again.
