Four Tips for Becoming a Franchisee

If you want to become a franchisee, the tips below can help you to find the perfect opportunity.

Be focusd on your preference. On the stage of decision-making, the bottom line is: Don' t rule out a business without learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like. For instance, think about a mom returning to the work force who knows she wants to interact with children on a daily basis. Among the hundreds of options there, she needs to decide if she would like to be hands on as a teacher or if she would rather manage a facility that tutors children in math. Deciding between the two is easy if she considers which day-to-day position she would prefer and how that will impact her other goals. Be proactive with your research. After you've determined what role you want in a franchise, it' s important to start researching different options. Physically visit many different franchise locations and browse the web and then determine what will be a fit in your community.

Make sure the franchisor has experience. Before signing on to a franchise, it is essential to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience. Find out if the company leaders have had significant experience at another franchise and are now applying that knowledge successfully.

Read the franchise disclosure document carefully. The first thing to look at is how much a franchise would cost to purchase. Make sure you have a financial advisor who can look at that item with you and see the type of profit a franchisee can make on average. It' s also important to take a look at the post-termination clause in the agreement to make sure that when you want to leave the business, you know the terms well and your interests are properly protected.

1.Decide on a business with learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like.()

2.Before you' ve determined what role you want in a franchise, it's time to start the business.()

3.Before signing on to a franchise, the essential job is to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience.()

4.The first thing to look at is how long a franchise would take to purchase.()

5.To make sure that when you want to leave the business, you have made enough money and you are satisfied with that.()

根据以下内容回答题：It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them．They have always complained，more or less justly，that they are possessive and dominant；that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis；that they talk too much about certain problems——and that they have no sense of humor，at least in parent-child relationships． I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young． Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles，in enter-tainers and music．This is not their motive．They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted．So they create a culture and society of their own．Then，if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents，this gives them additional enjoyment．They feel they are superior，at least in a small way，and that they are leaders in style. and taste． Sometimes you are resistant，and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do．If they did approve，it looks as if you are betraying your own age group．But in that case，you are assuming that you are the underdog（劣势者）：you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor．This is passive way of looking at things．It is natural enough after long years of childhood，when you were completely under your parents’contr01．But it ignores the fact that you are nOW beginning to be responsible for yourself． If you plan to control your life，cooperation can be part of that plan．You can impress others，especially your parents，into doing things the way you want．You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative，so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children "I'm sorry I got angry with you, but...", what follows that "but" can render the apology ineffective: "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior. in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I'm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying "I'm useless as a parent" does not commit a person lo any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A twelve-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.
If a mother adds "but" to an apology, ______.
A．she doesn't feel that she should have apologized
B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology

Contrary to popular belief, older people generally do not want to live with their children. Moreover, most adult children _provide____(27)every bit as much care and support to their aging parents as was the case in the "good old days", and roost older people do not feel __abandoned___(28).

STOPPING YELLING AT YOUR KIDS
Parenting is hard. If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working on this for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both the kids and me.
If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!
One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect – taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a big difference.
You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understand each other.
If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listen to you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they're not going to be perfect.

I went to a Catholic boys school in Blackpool in the North of England. In my first year in the senior school I was a nerdy kid, with spectacles and short trousers. For one hour a week the class had elocution lessons from an old, portly teacher called Mr. Priestley. He had a hard task wrestling with our flat northern vowels and trying to get us to speak the Queen’s English. One day he came up to me and said, "Sloane, I want to put you in for a speaking festival." "Why me " I grumbled. "Because I think you can do it," was his reply. I had to learn to recite a poem. It was "Play up, Play up and Play the game" by Sir Henry Newbolt, a classic motivational poem ringing with the heroic values of the British Empire. I had to practise it in front of the class, which was rather embarrassing; especially when dear old Mr. Priestly said, "That’s good but you need to pause and to put feeling and emotion into it." Eleven year old boys are unwilling to express feelings. The Saturday of the festival came and I went there on the bus (my parents never had a ear). I gave it my best shot but there were other children there who were more polished or experienced than I was and they scooped all the prizes. So I had to return to school on Monday and tell Mr. Priestley and the class that I had not won. I was then, and still am, very competitive so it felt like a failure to me. We did not have Mr. Priestley again after that year and I never thanked him for that intervention. It is too late to do so now. In my work I go around the world giving keynote talks on leadership and innovation and I often address large, prestigious audiences. Part of the reason that I can do that is because one teacher took the initiative and gave me a challenge. He asked me to do something I had never done and helped me to learn how to do it. Education is not about league tables or exam results. It is about opening doors for people and showing them rooms that that would otherwise be hidden. If we can challenge children to try things and to learn what they can achieve then maybe one day we will be remembered with the gratitude that I hold for Mr. Priestley.Mr. Priestley wanted the author to take part in the festival most probably because ().
