About this listen
Have you ever thought about investing in a franchise business? Owning a franchise is the best way to create the life of freedom you have always wanted.
Adam Goldman, the nation's top franchise coach and consultant, will discuss how to find the right franchise opportunity. There are thousands from which to choose. How do you know what’s a good opportunity and what is not?
Corporate America isn't what it used to be. It used to be that you were guaranteed a job for life. Investing in a franchise business is a great way to "hedge your bets" by creating an additional stream of income in a proven business.
Adam interviews existing franchisees from diverse backgrounds who have already invested in franchise business opportunities. They will discuss their own journeys into independence and how this could benefit you as you are exploring franchise business opportunities.
If you have ever considered investing in a franchise, this audiobook will give you the confidence to go for it and invest in your own piece of the American dream.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

Over the past decade, Inbound Marketing has changed the way companies earn buyers’ trust and build their brands - through meaningful, helpful content. But with that change comes unprecedented access to information in a few quick keystrokes. Enter the age of the empowered buyer, one who no longer has to rely on a sales rep to research their challenges or learn more about how a company’s offering might fit their needs. Now, with more than 60 percent of purchasing decisions made in the absence of a sales rep, the role of the rep itself has been called into question.

The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.
