Most people think they can buy a franchise, hire a GM, and the business will just run itself, but that’s rarely how it works. In this episode, we break down the truth about passive and semi-absentee franchise ownership, when it actually works, and why most brands don’t allow it out of the gate. You’ll learn what franchisors expect from new owners and the mindset shift required if you want real freedom down the line. If you're thinking about investing in a franchise with minimal involvement, this conversation will save you time, money, and frustration.
