There are many business models, each built on a specific premise. If, as an entrepreneur, you want a recession-proof business model, you may want to go into Real Estate. However, if you want a business with time-tested systems that guarantee profits from the first day, you must choose a franchising model.  

In franchising, an entrepreneur sells the rights to market and sell their products or services within a certain territory to independent business owners (franchisees) for a set period of time. The franchisor also provides the necessary training, equipment, and management to the franchisee to use their system, who in return pays royalties or license fees for the right to represent the franchisor’s products. 

If this business model excites you, David Weaver has some entrepreneur motivation tips and strategies for that cause. This podcast is for entrepreneurs like you who want to find their freedom, control their futures, and fuel their vision through franchise ownership.

David Weaver has a diverse and comprehensive background to draw on as a franchise expert and a FranChoice consultant. Having honed his business skills in a variety of ways, he now looks forward to sharing his knowledge and experience with others. His intimate knowledge of franchise systems, years of interaction with franchise candidates before and after they opened for business, and personal experience Investing in Franchise Assets with his wife, Ann Marie, offers David a true understanding of what works and what doesn’t in franchising.

Laurent Notin The Bottleneck Coach : Getting Entrepreneurs Unstuck; Podcast Host

I am a French national who left France at 23, and spent 20 years in South-East Asia, before relocating to Finland in the summer of 2019.

​My professional background is in market research and advertising, where I ran small businesses of up to 150 people across 3 countries.

I've always cared more about others than about myself. I've developed a passion for coaching, mentoring, advising, and training people throughout the years. Combined with my entrepreneurial mindset, becoming a coach to entrepreneurs just made sense.

Today, I combine my experience and expertise to unlock entrepreneurs from situations they create when they become the bottleneck in their business.
