We struggled to make money at a location for years.
From June to September last year, it made a grand total of $883 on $258k in revenue.
At that point, we had enough. We knew we had to make a change.
We fired the manager and brought in someone new.
Sometimes, it takes months to see improvement after a management change.
Other times, it’s like a light switch is turned on, which is exactly what happened here.
Profit skyrocketed to $73k over the next 4 months (October to January).
Simply by changing one person.
It’s the same building, technicians, equipment, pricing, and marketing.
We made no other changes besides the leader
This is the magic of a service business.
You can wake up every today and make an impact. You can train, inspire, and upgrade leaders.
Unfortunately, these changes are hard for many business owners to make.
You have employees who’ve been with you for years. They show up every day. They are friendly. They try hard. They want to do better…..
But they don’t have what it takes.
Your results are only as good as your leaders.
Ask yourself, where are you just tolerating mediocracy instead of demanding excellence?
The conversations we resist the most are often the ones we need the most.
Who do you have to have a tough conversation with?
Cheers!

P.S. Making tough people decisions can feel impossible when you’re doing it alone.
That’s why I created 8 Figure Franchisee – a private community of franchise owners who understand exactly what you’re going through.
We’ve all faced the same challenges, made the same hard decisions, and seen how the right changes can transform a struggling location into a powerhouse.
We have 4 spots remaining for new members in February.
