What Will They Remember?

THERE’S A THING that most of us do: Whenever we get someone’s attention, we go into what I like to call “Density Mode.” We think in ideas per second, and value per word. If we have a minute of someone’s time, we’ll talk fast to squeeze in more facts. If we’re giving a presentation, we’ll stuff it full of charts and graphs. But consider this: What if, no matter what, your audience will only remember one thing you said or did? If you knew that ahead of time, how might it change your approach? I can tell you—because I’ve been operating under this assumption for years. I first thought about it in 2011, as my wife and I planned our wedding. We were caught up in a million little decisions, so…

Hey, Don’t Throw That Away!

Here’s what Ryan Begin knew: Food waste is a big problem—which meant, potentially, a big business opportunity. “Have you ever seen the back room of a grocery store?” he asks. “It’s really scary the food we throw away.” The thing he didn’t know? What kind of business actually solves this problem. That turned out to be OK. Many entrepreneurs begin with a product or service, and then convince people to buy it. But many other smart founders take the opposite path: They start with a problem, then refine a solution until it clicks. That’s how Begin and his cofounder Nick Whitman built Divert, which has taken on many forms and tried many models, and now has more than 250 employees and serves 5,500 retail locations including Target, CVS, Albertsons, and…

Tech That Helps You Focus

1 / iPad at eye level. When you pair an iPad with a wireless mouse and keyboard, you have a formidable mobile desktop—so long as you can get it up to a comfortable height. The Twelve South HoverBar Duo (2nd generation) [$80; twelvesouth.com] grips onto any iPad (or non-Apple devices from 5 to 8.68 inches) to hold the screen 15 inches off the weighted base, and easily pivots to the most comfortable viewing angle. Or just unclick the arm and attach it to the included clamp, so you can start a call at your desk and finish it in the kitchen. 2 / Mute on the move. Who doesn’t want a little more quiet in a noisy world? The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II [$299; bose.com] upgrades its already class-leading noise-canceling…

STEVE AOKI SELLS THE FUTURE

Most people heard noise. Steve Aoki heard music. It was just, in his words, “intentionally abrasive” music. What’s the difference between noise and intentionally abrasive? This was back in the 1990s, when Steve Aoki was a kid growing up in the California punk and hardcore music scene. Bands were playing loud, cacophonous stuff. His parents called it “devil’s music.” But Aoki was intrigued, because although this music turned most people off, it also drew a community together. It wasn’t just garbage; it was a barrier to entry, and an appealing puzzle. “It didn’t fit with the world, and that was what spoke to me,” Aoki says. “You have to climb through the noise to find the gem.” In one way or another, that mindset has guided Aoki through a singular…

As Clean as It Gets

Kat Eckles wasn’t always a healthy food enthusiast. But after having her first child, she became more conscious about her diet. “It was the first time in my life that I really thought about being as healthy as possible, so I could be with my family as long as possible,” Eckles recalls. She started exploring “superfoods”—foods believed to be densely packed with nutrients—but thought they were all gross. When she blended them (and a few extras) into a smoothie, however, they became delicious. Eckles saw an opportunity. So in 2015, with no prior business experience, she and her husband relocated from New York to North Carolina to open their own juice store. Since then, their brand Clean Juice has grown into a franchise with over 125 locations—just as juicing became…

Where Business Is

Ordering eggs, working on your biceps, visiting theme parks, and finding a new job. What do these areas of life have in common? Here’s the answer: They’re all features of thriving franchise categories, and they’re growing for the same reason. Business is excellent in the breakfast, fitness, recreation, and staffing/recruiting businesses. Each provides a form of stability—for consumers and franchisees alike!—during turbulent and unpredictable times. Consider this: When someone grabs coffee on the way to work, improves their physical condition, plays with their kids, and seeks better employment, they are in the process of creating a happier, healthier overall existence. But this isn’t just anecdotal. Entrepreneur knows these categories are thriving and has the data to prove it. Every December, we publish a list of 10 areas in franchising…

From Hair Loss, Great Gain

I used to cut hair. Now I sell it. The transition began 23 years ago, when I was a busy hairdresser with an ironic condition: I developed alopecia areata, an autoimmune skin disease where the body’s immune system attacks healthy hair follicles. Within three months, I was bald and had lost my eyebrows, eyelashes, and most of my body hair. I struggled to find a good wig that fit my budget, so I opened a wholesale account with a wig manufacturer. Eventually, my hair grew back, but the alopecia would flare up again. The grow-lose cycle has since repeated itself several times. During the second flare-up, a good friend developed breast cancer and needed a wig. She came to what was then my “regular” hair salon, where I shaved her…

How to Save an Iconic Brand

How do you save a brand that everyone knows, but not everybody likes? Back in 2014, the toy company Mattel needed an answer to that question—fast. It owns popular brands like Hot Wheels and Fisher-Price, but one of its consistently top-selling products has long been Barbie. The tall, blonde doll enjoyed ubiquity for over half a century, but her popularity was slipping. To many people, Barbie had come to represent outdated standards of beauty and gender norms, and sales had dropped 20% in the prior two years alone. So the company called Richard Dickson, a former Mattel executive who’d left to run a fashion brand, and asked him to come back and save the famed doll. “We were in a real moment of truth around the brand’s continued evolution,” Dickson…

Consumers Aren’t Buying Products. They’re Buying You.

As a founder, you and your company’s origin stories are more important than you think. Yes, that’s become conventional wisdom in entrepreneurship circles—but it is now being backed by emerging research, including my own work at the University of Iowa and colleagues’ work elsewhere. Data shows that a founder’s story isn’t just appealing; it is central to whether consumers buy what you’re selling. There’s a good reason for this. We live in an age of manufacturing excellence, where what differentiates a product is not necessarily its quality or durability, or even its specific functionality. Instead, it is a story: Where the product comes from, what makes it unique, and who inspired it. Consider Toms canvas shoes. Why would a consumer choose Toms over other canvas shoes? Keds and Vans have…

Who to Learn From When You’re the Boss

Q Since entrepreneurs are their own bosses, they don’t report to anyone with more experience. What’s the best way to continue learning and growing? —ELIZABETH, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL BEING AN entrepreneur is one of the best jobs imaginable. It also happens to be one of the scariest, and loneliest. You’re always on call, it can take years to build a semblance of success, and (statistically speaking) the odds are against you. All that is amplified by the fact that you’re often making decisions on your own—so it’s tough to be sure you’re on the right path. So who can entrepreneurs learn from, and lean on? This might be counterintuitive, but I’d suggest adopting the mindset that you’re not on your own. Act as if you’re actually running a much bigger business,…

THE CURE FOR STRESS IS NOT LESS STRESS

I think it was after my fourth sleepless night that I sought out Scott Willett, my neighbor. He is another entrepreneur, someone else who’d left the corporate world for his own—which meant he was someone who might, at last, understand me. “It’s not going well,” I’d said by way of opening, back in March 2021, the two of us bunched round the campfire he built in his backyard. “What’s the it that’s not going well?” Scott asked. He has a Ph.D. in organization management, which, among other things, gives him a therapist’s demeanor, all open-ended questions in nonjudgmental tones. “All of it, maybe?” I’d said. Only that wasn’t quite expansive enough. It was the uncertainty of entrepreneurship, sure, and the fear which hadn’t left me since I’d been laid off…

A Franchise Nonprofit?

Can a single franchise location be transformed into a nonprofit? That’s what Jamie Trujillo wondered only two months after becoming a Challenge Island franchisee. The question came from her deep sense of mission. Trujillo had always been what she calls a “stereotypical teacher’s pet,” and spent 14 years working with an adult education nonprofit. Then she discovered Challenge Island, an after-school STEM program for kids with approximately 140 locations in the U.S., and became a franchisee in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2019. “It was an expansion of my calling,” Trujillo says. But she soon found an age-old problem: Her programs were too expensive for the kids who needed it the most. Trujillo could think of only one solution—to turn her business into a nonprofit. Challenge Island agreed to help her,…

The Hottest Trends for 2023

Where are the best business opportunities of 2023? We have some ideas. As each year draws to a close, we at Entrepreneur try to envision the year ahead for franchising. To do this, we start with some big questions: What’s happening in the world, and what’s predicted to happen? Which industries are attracting new franchises? Which established industries are experiencing high unit growth? Where’s the most spending and excitement? Then we add a bit of the intuition we’ve gained over decades of covering this industry—and identify 10 categories we believe will thrive next year. This year’s list includes some categories that are regular winners, like chicken, health and wellness, pets, and restoration. But it also includes some that haven’t been on our radar in a few years, like breakfast, fitness,…

Patience Is a Venture

Entrepreneurs can be impatient. When we have a great idea, we want to make it happen now. But I’ve learned that patience—taking time to convince resistant customers, or to prove your concept to dubious investors—can create an outcome much truer to your vision. Seven years ago, I began trying to open a coffee shop in New York City. I had long worked as a barista, and imagined a café that treated coffee like a performance—the bar acting as a stage, where baristas would pull the espresso shot, weigh it, and heat it to a precise temperature, all while telling the origin story of the beans. I wanted the shop’s sounds and smells and visuals to envelop each customer. I’d call it White Noise Coffee Company. The trouble was, no one…

TOP SCHOOLS for ENTREPRENEURS

What makes an entrepreneur? Some things are intangible, of course: a willingness to take risks, an ability to pivot, a devotion to solving problems. But other things are very tangible, like tactical know-how, supportive networks, and the guidance and resources to help bring good ideas to life. That’s why many aspiring entrepreneurs attend school, and why so many schools are rapidly expanding their entrepreneurship programs to meet the needs and aspirations of today’s visionaries and tomorrow’s leaders. But which are the best colleges or universities to pursue? The answer to that question is always changing, which is why, for the past 17 years, Entrepreneur has partnered with The Princeton Review to rank the top undergraduate and graduate programs for entrepreneurs. This year’s survey considered hundreds of colleges and universities in…

Avague calendar event appears in your inbox. There’s an urgent need for breakthrough thinking, and you’re invited. It’s got something to do with the big sales conference next week. Or a major new client. Or that recent wave of negative Yelp reviews. Doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you show up. An organization’s desperate, last-minute scramble for ideas is always democratic. Everyone is welcome to contribute solutions—as long as they sound feasible and involve zero risk to anyone with power at the table. It’s time to brainstorm. Inevitably, the big session gets squeezed into an awkward afternoon slot, when everyone is running on empty. Or, worse, near the end of the day, when people are anxious to head home or rest their Zoom-weary eyes. If anybody knew how to…

Four Ways to Fix Your Marketing

Many franchisors are good at consumer marketing. But they typically struggle to reach a different, equally important audience—potential franchisees. I’ve spent 15 years in franchise development marketing, and I see this problem repeatedly. Digital marketing strategies are often underbudgeted, or spearheaded by internal point people with limited experience. As a result, franchisors are slower to find the right franchisees for their brand. How can you do better? Here are four major mistakes my team and I often see—and how to fix them. Mistake 1 / Thinking SEO is only for consumers. Franchisors often understand the importance of content marketing, but they tend to aim it exclusively at consumers. As a result, a brand’s article or blog might come up when someone searches “coffee shop near me”—but not when someone searches…
