In this episode of the I Fired My Boss podcast, Dan and Christian sit down with Joe Matthews, founder of Franchise Performance Group, to dive deep into the journey of building a successful franchise business. Joe shares his insights on creating long-term value in franchising, emphasizing the importance of a patient, strategic approach over a quick win. Reflecting on Warren Buffett’s advice that the best holding period is “forever,” Joe explains why he believes in taking a five- to six-year view for sustainable success, even when faster growth might seem tempting. He shares candid thoughts on the challenges and rewards of committing to this long-term vision and how it ultimately leads to greater fulfillment and financial gain.
Joe also provides practical advice for aspiring franchise owners and those looking to make the leap into entrepreneurship. He discusses his book, The Ultimate Guide to Responsible Franchise, which serves as a resource for anyone interested in franchising done right.
