On this episode, Karen and Cadie have a candid discussion with serial entrepreneur, former franchise owner and commercial real estate consultant Chris Harle. Chris shares his wins and losses and advice on knowing when to change your business model from the hard lessons learned from opening, closing, and selling his restaurants. No longer a restauranteur, Chris uses his entrepreneurial ups and down to consult and help others find the right franchises, business concepts, and commercial locations for his clients' specific needs.  Big Questions? 1. How do you decide between a stand-alone business and a franchise? 2. How hard is it to sell a franchise? 3. What are some key indicators that should trigger you to consider rethinking, selling, retiring, or closing a business? 4. What are the biggest things to consider when opening a restaurant? 5. When is failure not a mistake in business?  Rules for Starting A Business per Chris Harle: 1. Know the WHY on wanting to start a business. 2. Be prepared for what it takes to make a business work. 3. Have the capital to go for six months without a paycheck. 4. Serve others before you serve yourself. 5. Go all in from day one. 6. Don't try to do everything yourself, hire well. 7. Create a work/life balance. 8. Know when it's time to make a change.
