Starting a new franchised business can be stressful. Some people use that stress to excel, others use that stress as an excuse to throw in the towel.

I get excited thinking about our new maid service franchise partners in South Chicago, Northwest Indiana, Allentown PA, Cherry Hill NJ, Sarasota FL, and Tacoma WA. Starting a new business has always been my favorite period in a business life cycle. During the start-up phase, you are fully engaged. Everything is new. Everything is on the line. What you do today will affect your business in a year from now…it will affect your unborn grandchildren.

Here are 5 Steps that should make all the difference:

#1 – Practice Positive Mental Attitude.

#2 – Eat Healthy.

#3 – Work Out Daily.

#4 – Keep Talking With Your Franchisor.

#5 – Follow The Golden Rule.

That’s it. These 5 Steps will reduce your new franchise induced stress. Remember every diamond started as a piece of coal that was able to handle a little stress.
