Troy's business has been stuck at $150-200k/year
He just got offered $200-250k to be a banker.
Less stress. Fewer hours. Guaranteed income.
Should he sell the business or double down?
Here’s what I asked him:
Do you believe in the business model & future?
If not, it’s impossible to keep moving forward.
I’d recommend selling the business & taking the job.
But if he does believe, then we need to map out a growth path.
A single location means you’ve got a job
That’s a great way to learn the business
But you’ll never achieve financial or time freedom
You must grow through unit count
There are 25+ existing franchise locations in Troy’s home market
His #1 priority should be acquiring a second, profitable location
Herein lies the biggest challenge every business owner faces.
But going from 1 to 2 locations is the hardest jump.
One location lets you stay involved in everything. You’re the safety net.
Two locations break that. You’re FORCED to build a real team.
You can’t be everywhere at once anymore.
But once you figure out how to remove yourself from operations?
There’s no difference between 2, 3, 4, or 5 locations.
At $150k profit per location, Troy’s got a path to $750k+ per year AFTER he breaks the 1 to 2 barrier.
It’s simple, but not easy.
This is exactly why I created 8-Figure Franchisee.
I want to help owners like Troy make life-changing money by accelerating their franchise growth.
Reply if you want my help in making 2026 the most profitable year ever.
Cheers!
