I provide franchise coaching and consulting services to individuals looking to leave the uncertainty, insecurity, pain and politics of their job; those looking to figure out what they want to be when they grow up; those considering business ownership as an option or those who are tired of job hopping and looking to elevate career to the next level and get jazzed once again.

About Lou

I could start by telling you where I was born and then go on with my resume; in reverse chronological order. Thus leading up to my becoming a franchise consultant with FranNet. But that bio stuff isn't what you have a burning need to know right now, is it? I could be wrong, but perhaps you're wondering, "Can this guy, Lou Lavetan, help me hack through the jungle of franchise opportunities? Does he know what it's like to make major a decision like this? Does he even give a rip about me?"

If I said that the answers to those three questions are Yes! Yes! and Yes! Would you believe me? I thought not. So, if you have a minute, please let me tell you about one of the worst days of my life back in 1988.

I had a regular job. What matters about this job is they fired me. That's right. But the fact is: I was jobless. No income. Feeling betrayed, angry, and a bit foolish, I realized I'd put my ability to earn a living, my ability to provide for my family in someone else's hands. . . someone whose priorities weren't the same as mine. Never again would I put up with the politics of working in someone else's business. Never again would I suffer the uncertainty of worrying if my job was secure.

Does that scenario sound familiar to you? Are you searching for an alternative to being a mere cog in someone else's wheel? Just as you are doing now, I started looking into being a franchisee. I haven't regretted the decision once. No one can fire me. Ever Every day I help people like you who are tired of the pain of politics, sick of the uncertainty and insecurity that arise from working for someone else.

During my 11 years as a Mail Boxes Etc. franchisee (now The UPS Store), I owned and managed my own location, while laying foundations for 23 more stores. Consistently ranking in the top 200 units nationwide, I earned the Bronze Eagle (superior operations) award for 9 consecutive years. I helped prospective owners with the franchise validation and investigation process. I provided ongoing field support and was involved in networking and training for over 300 stores in the Mid Atlantic Region. I was helping franchisees succeed. Isn't that more important to know than the name of the town where I was born?

In 1999 I sold my area license and store and became partners in a maid service franchise. Responsible for sales, advertising and public relations, I set record revenues in the early stages of the business. Taking on the consultant role in 2004 was a natural way to share my franchise experiences. My passion is helping others find the career freedom I enjoy. My clients tell me that my first-hand experience in the franchise industry helped them get a feel for franchise ownership.If any of that sounds like the kind of help you're ready for, contact me.

Oh, alright. I was born in York, PA
