Drawing from decades of experience, Cliff explains why most people fail in franchising, not because the model is broken, but because they skip proper valuation, due diligence, and execution. He breaks down why buying at the right price matters more than brand recognition, how poor skills fit destroys profitability, and why execution (not hype) creates real opportunity.

The conversation also explores how successful investors think about exits before they ever buy and the red flags that signal a franchise nightmare. Cliff shares real examples of buying failing franchises for pennies on the dollar and then selling for significant multiples.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering franchising as a path to cash flow, business ownership, or long-term wealth creation.

Top three things you will learn:
Why valuation and execution matter more than franchise brand names
The most common mistakes that turn franchises into financial traps
How to structure a business from day one with a profitable exit in mind
