You've spent decades building your career, your reputation, and your savings.
You're ready for the next chapter—more control, more time freedom, more wealth.
Franchising makes sense on paper. But when you start researching, you feel:
❌ Overwhelmed by hundreds of brands and conflicting information
❌ Confused by 300-page FDD documents filled with legal jargon
❌ Paralyzed by the fear of making a $300,000+ mistake
❌ Frustrated that no one is teaching you HOW to investigate properly—just trying to sell you their "perfect franchise"
Sound familiar? You're in the right place.
Here's What Makes This Different:
There are excellent franchise consultants out there. But here's what's often missing: independent due diligence education.
Even with the best consultant, YOU need to know how to read an FDD, analyze financials, spot red flags, and validate the opportunity independently. Because at the end of the day, YOU'RE signing the agreement and investing your capital.
The Mastermind teaches you those investigation skills—so you can work confidently with consultants, validate opportunities from any source, and make decisions based on your OWN expert analysis, not just someone else's recommendation
You're not looking for a side hustle.
You're not chasing the latest trend.
You're not hoping to "get rich quick."
You're a serious professional who:
✓ Has already achieved success in your career
✓ Understands the value of expert guidance and education
✓ Is ready to invest in knowledge before investing capital
✓ Wants to build legacy wealth, not just replace a paycheck
✓ Refuses to make emotional decisions with your hard-earned money
✓ Values strategy, due diligence, and making informed choices
If that's you, keep reading.
This could be the most important decision you make this year.

After years in corporate America, I thought I understood business.
I was wrong about franchising.
I made mistakes. I learned hard lessons. And I watched brilliant people—doctors, lawyers, executives with MBA degrees—lose hundreds of thousands of dollars on franchises that were completely wrong for them.
Not because they weren't smart enough.
Because they didn't have the right education before they signed.
The Moment That Changed Everything:
People that I have not worked have come to me over the years asking me for a franchise attorney to help them get out of a franchise. I always ask them "what was your due diligence like?", invariably they have always missed a few steps that could have saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Why? Because they didn't know the questions to ask BEFORE they signed the Franchise Disclosure Agreement.
That day, I made it my mission:
No one with ambition, capital, and a dream should ever fall into that trap again.
That's why I wrote the only Wall Street Journal bestselling book solely about franchising—and why I created the Franchise Maven® Mastermind.
Most franchise consultants make money when you sign with a brand they represent.
This group is not that.
We teach you how to independently investigate and evaluate ANY franchise opportunity—so you're never at the mercy of salespeople, marketing hype, or conflicts of interest.
What It Is:
The Franchise Maven® Mastermind is a 12-month transformational educational experience designed for serious executives and investors who are committed to making smart, strategic franchise decisions.
This isn't a generic business course.
This isn't "franchise basics."
This is insider knowledge that most consultants will never share with you—because it would hurt their commissions.
What You'll Gain:
→ Expert knowledge on franchise models, financial analysis, and due diligence
→ Insider frameworks for evaluating any franchise opportunity
→ Peer accountability with other successful professionals on the same journey
→ Lifetime access to resources, tools, templates, and ongoing support
→ Confidence to make decisions based on data, not emotion
The Result:
You make confident, strategic investment decisions—decisions that build wealth instead of drain it.
You'll never wonder "Did I make the right choice?"
You'll KNOW.

Q: How is this different from franchise consultants?
A: We teach you how to think like an insider so you can evaluate ANY franchise opportunity with confidence—whether we've ever heard of it or not.
Q: What if I'm not sure which franchise to pursue yet?
A: Perfect! That's exactly when you SHOULD join. The Mastermind teaches you the investigation framework FIRST, so when you do find a franchise you're interested in, you'll know exactly how to evaluate it. Most people I work with start with me before they've picked a brand—and that's actually the ideal time.
Q: How much time does this require?
A: Plan for 2 hours per month for live sessions, plus time to review materials and do your own franchise research. This is designed for busy professionals—everything is recorded if you can't attend live, and you can go at your own pace.
Q: Is this right for someone who's never owned a business?
A: Absolutely. Many of the people I work with are corporate executives or professionals making their first move into business ownership. That's actually why this education is so critical—you need to know what you don't know. We teach you everything from the ground up.
Q: What's the investment?
A: The Franchise Maven® Mastermind is a premium educational experience designed for serious executives and investors. Because we offer personalized pathways and flexible payment options, we discuss the specific investment during your clarity call.
What I can tell you: This 12-month program costs a fraction of what ONE wrong franchise decision would cost you—and has already helped my clients save (or earn) hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If you're serious about investigating franchises the right way, the ROI is undeniable.
Q: What if I can't attend the live sessions?
A: Every session is recorded and available in the member portal within 24 hours. You'll also have access to transcripts, templates, and resources. While we encourage live participation for the Q&A and community benefit, you can absolutely succeed going through the recordings.
Q: Do you help me pick a specific franchise?
A: We teach you HOW to evaluate and investigate any franchise. We don't pick for you—because that would defeat the purpose of independent due diligence. However, we will guide you through analyzing the specific franchises you're considering and help you spot red flags or validate opportunities.
Note - I have been helping people pick franchises for 12 years. I can help you with that if you so choose. Entirely up to you but not the intent of this course.
Q: What if I've already invested in a franchise?
A: The Mastermind is designed for pre-investment education. However, if you're in the early stages or considering additional franchise units, the training can still be valuable for understanding your existing agreement and making better decisions going forward.
