On Franchising a Business

“As a franchise consultant, Nick Bibby went far beyond contractual obligations and expectations. He became a trusted friend, and continues to mentor in my company's development.”

“Choosing to franchise our business was a major decision for us.  We spoke with numerous franchise consultants, but Nick Bibby stood out as he listened to and really came to understand our concerns.  Most importantly, as we are now selling franchises, he has proven his advice was right on target. He had and still has a passion for our success.  If we had to do it all over, he's the consultant and now friend we would choose again.  That's the proof in the pudding.”

“We could not have achieved our goals without both your positive attitude and special approach to the franchise business.“

“When I made the decision to franchise, I interviewed numerous firms and individuals, however, it was not until you and I met that I was challenged by thoughtful questions about my business and how franchising might fit with the systems and organization I was building. Instead of trying to "sell me" on your services, you got to know me, my needs and my company. Instead of trying to "convince me" to grow by franchising, you provided counsel on the subject. Yours was an unusual and refreshing approach to business. You became a friend of mine and a friend of the company. Eventually, we built and then sold the network, and I thank you for all of your advice and hard work along the way.”

"The Focus Program provided a framework for looking thoroughly and objectively at how we matched up in relation to various entrepreneurial paths and opportunities.  It helped us see how our individual skills, experiences and interests complemented and reinforced each other and how we could combine them to achieve success in an exciting and fun new venture."

When I decided to pursue your method, I honestly did not know what to expect. I am now confident that you have extremely good insight into people's needs regarding career choice and business ownership.

Buddy Williamson

I am a man in mid-career and found your Focus Program to be insightful and invigorating. It helped to fan the coals that had grown cold but not died.

James Newton

I own multiple businesses and graduated from a Top 20 MBA program, but the Focus process has been one of the most important learning experiences affecting my future success. It should be a requirement for any aspiring business student. Nick helped me discover important personal and business insights that I simply would not have discovered on my own, and unlike many other “coaching programs,” Nick helped me align these insights with future goals and plans. It may be an over used cliché, but if you are willing to put in the effort, this program is worth many times the price of admission. My only regret is I did not do it sooner.

The program is a little more challenging than I had realized. I am enjoying it and the materials are sinking in slowly.”

Your Focus Program works, plain and simple.

Nick Bibby's “Focus Program” addresses the premise that certain types of business are more symbolic with certain types of personalities. The decision to own your own business is a complex one. The Focus Program is one tool you should definitely have in your possession.

“The Focus Program for Emerging Entrepreneurs“...is a serious contribution to saving people from the disastrous consequences of decisions wrongly made about what they should do with their lives. It is ... a work of love as well as of the utmost professionalism. It is a “must” for anyone considering the world of self-employment.

Richard A. Solomon

Entrepreneurial success is a function of understanding ourselves and our talents relative to any given business environment. Nick has an innate grasp of that concept and focuses his work on helping others better understand themselves and the types of environments which provide the best opportunities for personal and professional growth.
