Getting Properly Funded: The Key to Franchise Success
Turning Your Dream into Reality Through Smart Financing  
Speaking at The Great American Franchise Expo, banking expert Van Conners, Principal of Conners Financial, shared key insights on how proper funding is crucial for franchise success. Hosted by The Entreprenudist Podcast's Randolph Love III, Conners explained why having enough capital from day one prevents the #1 killer of franchises - being distracted by financial fears instead of focusing on business growth.
Conners encourages aspiring franchise owners to find funding that fits their specific business model and goals. With customized financing, franchisees can solely concentrate on their new venture instead of worrying about paying bills. According to Conners, “If you have the ability to solely focus on the business, your bills are paid, everything else, you’ve got that game plan in place, you will be successful."
Rather than hastily accepting the first loan offer, Conners advises speaking to multiple lenders to find the best terms. The right financing partner will understand both the franchise model and geographic market to provide a loan that enables success. An uncomfortable, cookie-cutter bank loan can crucify a business, while a customized "sweet spot" loan leads to growth and strong lender relationships.
With over 150 lending sources, Conners rejects notions that money is tight. "Money ain’t tight," he affirms, citing innovative funding options like equipment leasing/purchasing and accounts receivable financing. His key message - "Let the loan fit the business, not the business fit the loan.” The best funding empowers franchisees to solely focus on operations, preventing failure.
Conners welcomes any aspiring business owner to call him and discuss how to turn their dream into reality. With proper planning and an expert funding advisor, success awaits. As Conners says, “The secret to getting ahead is just getting started.”

Building a Business Empire by Showing Up Early and Staying Late
How Forming Partnerships and Having the Right Team Fuels Business Growth  
Like a carefully constructed tower of wooden blocks, growing a business to great heights requires balance, patience and support. On a recent episode of "The Entreprenudist Podcast: The Place To Hear Real Entrepreneurs and Business Owners Bare It All," at The Great American Franchise Expo, Bill Walsh of Powerteam International shared insights on building business partnerships, attracting premium customers, and developing critical entrepreneurial skills.
 
Walsh, a serial entrepreneur known for buying, scaling and selling companies, emphasized that truly successful networking requires more than just showing up. "You've got to show up early and stay late," he said, comparing effective networking to a garden that requires constant nurturing.
Rather than hard selling, Walsh focuses on forming authentic relationships, likening this to watering seeds in fertile soil. "I've created more partnerships from charitable events than from any other kind of events," he stated. Like plants needing the right balance of sun and rain, partnerships thrive when approached with genuine care.
 
Walsh also stressed the importance of having a strong support system, comparing this to poles propping up a tent. "You have to have the right accountant, the right lawyer...the right team," he said. Walsh himself relies on systems like loyalty programs and referral programs to continue growing his business, comparing these to stakes securing the tent fabric against strong winds.
 
In addition to partnerships and infrastructure, Walsh pushes entrepreneurs to develop premium offers, which he likened to exclusive Bugatti vehicles that attract wealthy buyers. He also urged the audience to step outside their comfort zones to build crucial skills. "Get better at public speaking, get better at networking, get better at exposure," Walsh commanded, comparing these skills to engine horsepower needed to reach new heights.
 
Walsh promotes tools like social media, live streaming and YouTube shorts as fuel for growth, while emphasizing that execution is the engine. "It's all about the RPMs," he asserted, stressing key performance indicators like lead tracking. Finally, Walsh encouraged incorporating a philanthropic giveback program into business models, comparing this to decorative hood ornaments that demonstrate social values.
 
Like a carpenter with a clear blueprint, Walsh outlined structural must-haves for constructing businesses poised for growth. By showing up early to plant seeds, staying late to nurture partnerships, and relying on core support systems, entrepreneurs can build enterprises with the horsepower and curb appeal to drive sustainable success.
