    Why 75% of Franchises Are Bad Investments

    🎙 Passive Cash Flow Podcast | Why 75% of Franchises Are Bad Investments In this episode, we sit down with Bob Bernotas, franchise consultant, investor, entrepreneur, and President of FranchiseWithBob.com. Bob shares how investors and corporate professionals can use franchising to build wealth and cash flow—without accidentally buying themselves a full-time job. With decades of experience as a multi-unit franchise owner, franchise CEO, and growth advisor, Bob breaks down how to evaluate franchise opportunities, avoid trendy concepts that drain capital, and identify businesses with strong unit economics and long-term potential. We also discuss how franchises compare to real estate, how busy professionals can pursue semi-passive ownership, and what investors should look for before putting their money into a franchise. 👤 About Bob Bernotas: Bob Bernotas is a franchise consultant and investor who helps corporate leaders and investors build wealth through smart, semi-passive franchise ownership. Since 1986, he has worked across the franchising industry as a multi-unit owner, franchise CEO, and advisor.

His approach focuses heavily on unit economics and helping investors avoid bad or trendy concepts that don't support long-term freedom.
