Franchise All-rounder

Matt’s “One Thing” that he does every day…..
- At the end of the day, he writes a “To Do” list for the next day
Matt’s secrets are
- Getting “Me Time” – You need to be able to assign roles to staff, be clear on your expectations and be okay when things don’t always run to plan
- To getting the right employee – make sure that you are clear on your values and behaviours and hire based on these values
- Schedule time to worry about things
Matt’s tips for Franchisees
- Understand it is your own business and that you need to run your own business within the bounds you are paying for.
- If you think you are going into this business to have someone else do it for you – you are sadly mistaken
- If you are coming into the system make sure you understand how to read a Profit & Loss report and live that Profit & Loss in the environment you are in
- Interview Question: run behavioural based questions based on the STAR methodology
Matt’s thoughts for the future of franchising….
- Take an established Australian brand in perhaps retail food and look to emerging markets to see if you can establish the business there
- Look to Bangladesh to establish your Australian brand
The book Matt recommends
- Mindset by Carole Dwecht
