E-Myth author Michael Gerber calls this working 'on' the business, not just 'in' the business. My own experience was that I had to simultaneously increase my prices whilst slashing overheads to create a situation where I did have time to work on my business.To maintain the consistency and image of a franchising system, even a mobile-based franchise, each franchisee must maintain standards of signage. This issue will be addressed generally in the confidential operations manual set forth by the franchisor. However, I found it necessary in my franchising companies to go one step further, I inserted a clause into our franchise agreements stating such.
