Cutting down on Water Usage in the Car Wash Industry?
Due to the drought issues which persist still in many states we are seeing the emergence of a new type of car wash in America; one which is indeed quite healthy for the environment. Some car washes are now recycling 90-95% of their wash water, yes that means the water is used over and over and the filters are getting clogged. The POTWs; Publicly Owned Treatment Works must accept high concentrated wastewater once the reclaim tanks are dumped. The smell this creates is also a big deal. In a full service carwash, which there are about 20,00

Where Succession Planning Fails
I am often hired to coach someone who has moved from a technical role to one of leadership. When I use the term "technical" I mean in the broadest sense of a functional expert, whether it be in the field of technology, accounting, legal, sales or other specialised role. The call from the HR Department usually comes after the event, when things have started to go wrong.So why do so many companies promote people into leadership roles who are unprepared for leading a team? Is it simply that there is no formal succession plan? Not a

Currently Franchisors are required to list litigation in the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, which is against them. Soon they maybe required to list the litigation that they file as well. In my opinion this is a bad idea all the way around. First of all putting dirty laundry in a UFOC is bad business, the more that is there the worse it is for the brand name and the future franchisees psyche going into a new business. It creates fear, it closes communication; if the franchisor is required to list the litigation that they file then, it makes the franchisee more apt to hide problems during franchisor visits to the franchised outlets, it is not good. It is dangerous to the enforcement of the quality and consistency of the system. Some franchisors never sue their franchisees, I have always taken this tact, however such a requirement for disclosure would mean I would want to file a bundle of lawsuits to show my willingness to enforce my system.

Having a little bit of litigation history which is relevant to the future ability of the company to fulfill it’s duties might be worthy, probably not, but possibly. Perhaps a little history might be of value, but it is not that big of an issue really. Second off I have never filed against a franchisee in our franchise, but if the franchisees know that, well th

IMF Cautions of Global Trade Danger
The group responsible for monitoring the financial system of several countries has given alerts regarding the global trade depreciation caused by oil price hikes and the degenerating American housing market. In an announcement, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stated that the two industries can lead the global trade and the international economy to jumble.The IMF is an international organization, which is composed of 184 members including the United States, was established in 1946 right after the windup of the Second World

Training - Cost or Investment?
How do you view training and development in your business?Do you need to quantify and measure it? Is the value you place on developing your staff and management purely monetary or is there a greater benefit to the individual and to the organisation?In a study carried out by the International Institute of Management Development 80% of respondents were unable to quantify the effect of development. Yet millions of pounds are invested, in management development alone, each year in the UK.It just d

Do You Zig and Zag?
T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, states that the journey to success is full of twists, turns, ups, downs, stops and reverses. You have to "zig zag" your way to success.He is right. Once you understand this fact, you will begin to understand that your own journey to success will be full of adventure and different roads. Roads that you may not have chosen to venture down, but roads that will ultimately lead to your success nonetheless.We are only kidding ourselves if we really believe that everything wil

o fulfill it’s duties might be worthy, probably not, but possibly. Perhaps a little history might be of value, but it is not that big of an issue really. Second off I have never filed against a franchisee in our franchise, but if the franchisees know that, well then they will take advantage of the franchise relationship, it is human nature. There are numerous times I have let a franchisee off the hook, because it seemed like the right thing to do and because I did not wish to spend my time or money in court or paying attorneys, as they have never done anything positive for franchising. I usually chock it up as experience and move on, besides the time is better spent moving forward, building creating and uniting, that is where the strength is in franchising.

Now then if the Federal Trade Commission in their newest rule making session determines that this rule is to be enacted, my franchisees and future franchisees will know that we are push overs, that even though our franchise documents have teeth of steel, we never file any lawsuits. So if it enacted, then I will go out immediately and start some lawsuits and sue franchisees who have violated our contract and gotten away with it. I will have to pick a case I can win easily and quickly for a high dollar amount. I can think of several. I have every
