For those who are considering buying a franchise you will need to know that the initial franchise fee is not the only cost to secure that business of your own that you have always dreamed of. The Initial Franchise Fee is generally the money paid for use of the rights and trademarks. There will also be other costs and fees to be paid to start the business, as well as ongoing fees such as royalties and other costs, which will be described in the UFOC Uniform Franchise Offering Circular.Below is an excerpt on Item 5 from a Uniform
5. Avoid Shoptalk
A major danger of an office first date is talking about work. Try to avoid this trap for two reasons. First, you need to find out if you and your date have any personal interests in common. Since you won’t be dating during work hours, a hobby or two you could enjoy together wouldn’t hurt.
How do you measure the effectiveness of your advertising? Do you look only at whether or not you have had an increase in sales or enquires subsequent to the publication of an advertisement, or do you include product or brand awareness in your evaluations?The most suitable criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of advertising, depends on a number variables, such as the advertising goals, the type of media used, the cost of evaluation, the value that the business or advertising agency places on evaluation measures, the level o
Now for the million-dollar question: Where to look? For most of us, work is a logical hunting ground. But beware! Before you venture into chocolate, roses, and wine territory at the office, you must do a little homework and decision making.
1. Check the Rules of Engagement
First, does your workplace have a no-dating policy? If it does, think about making your love connection somewhere else--the gym, the grocery store--anywhere but work. It’s not worth risking your career for a mystery date. Besides, after going out, you may not even like your office crush.
2. Consider the Breakup
Assuming there is no problem with rule one, the next issue you must consider is the break up. What? Yes, that’s right--the breakup. If you hate the idea of seeing your ex-love daily or if you think he or she could turn into a Fatal Attraction bunny boiler or worse, you should strongly consider passing on office romance. However, if you think you and the other person can stay professional if the relationship goes sour, it’s time to take the next step.
3. Verify Availability
Once you have targeted your Romeo or Juliet, you should verify that he or she is not already involved with someone else. There is no need to show your cards if Romeo is happily married. For that matter, even if Romeo is unhappily involved, he is off limits. Scandal at the office is not good for your career. You would be better off buying yourself a box of chocolates and spending the 14th with unattached friends or alone.
4. Keep it Casual
If you discover that she is unattached and you want to put the moves on Juliet while still keeping it professional, make it easy for her to say “no.” You don’t want her to feel as if she has to go out with you. You may say something such as, “I’m thinking of going to the Blue Crab for Valentine’s Day. Would you like to come with me?” If she says “yes,” then great. If she declines, you can still save face. Say something such as, “That’s too bad. I really thought you would enjoy the food there. If you ever want to go some other time, let me know.” One word of caution here: If you are turned down, do not ask Juliet again. The last thing you want to do is run the risk of a sexual harassment charge.

How do you feel about the work you're doing? Are you enlivened? Is your career headed down the path you had in mind? Or do you find yourself wondering whether it's time to make a career change that will help you meet your goals? If you're considering such a change, the enormity of this decision may be weighing on you, as you evaluate a choice that will impact more than your work life.When making career decisions, you'll benefit by breaking the decision down into smaller parts, to help you identify the criteria most important fo

What does your best customer look like? Are they blond, dark haired, tall or short with a light or dark complexion? I ask this question because we often don't know what our customers look like. Some might argue that it doesn't matter. I would agree that in many cases, it doesn't matter.I was in a hotel lobby a few months back and a person shouted my name. I turned around and didn't recognize who the person was. They knew me and my brain churning didn't come up with a name to match the face. As it turned out, I had met this pers

A lot of businesses advertise, but I often wonder if some of them know why they are doing it. Take the time to look around this week, as you do your grocery shopping, run the kids to hockey practice, and whatever else you do. Who is advertising in your area, and how? If you really pay attention, you’ll see some advertising done so badly it may as well not even be there at all. If you had to look to find it, or force yourself to read it, it’s probably ineffective.Here are the top 3 reasons to advertise • Awareness

Starting a new business can be a daunting task. There are hundreds of decisions to be made. Who, what, where, and when are not just for English class anymore. Another question that must be answered is “What form will my business be?” There are several factors to be considered and there are pros and cons for each type. In this article, I will try to briefly explain the differences between the business forms.Sole Proprietorship: Most people are familiar with this type of business. This form is one p
5. Avoid Shoptalk
A major danger of an office first date is talking about work. Try to avoid this trap for two reasons. First, you need to find out if you and your date have any personal interests in common. Since you won’t be dating during work hours, a hobby or two you could enjoy together wouldn’t hurt. Second, when the conversation relates to work, you risk saying something you normally would not have said simply to have something to say. Put another way, you may end up saying something about your coworkers or the business that you will later regret if the romance fizzles.
6. Mind Your Tongue
Just as you should watch what you say about work when out on a date with an officemate, the reverse is also true. Keep your personal business personal. Some of your coworkers may speculate about your date, but you don’t need to fill in the blow-by-blow details for them.
7. Plan for the Future
If your relationship gets serious and the two of you work closely together, one of you may want to consider transferring to a different department or even changing jobs. By doing so, you keep your work life and personal life separate. Furthermore, if worse comes to worse and you do break up, you won’t have to work on top of each other.
The bottom line is Cupid can make you stupid if you think only with your heart and not with your brain. When it comes to dating people at the office, follow some basic advice, and you can avoid getting stuck with an arrow where it hurts.
