Riding a franchise can be a good alternative to start in the business world. You may require a lower financial outlay, we have a support system with centralized management, a proven business model, can achieve economies of scale (ie as the chain stores are X, they can get purchase prices or production costs more competitive than if it were an individual store) also started with a known brand name and consolidated, it has an exclusivity in the area, is a global marketing , which also reinforces the image in front of customers, and generally with training and ongoing technical assistance, and even with an integrated computer system. You could say that you can get many of the advantages of a large company but with a more or less small investment. Although theoretically they made us, and is a proven, it is also very important to a business plan, to project what your income and expenses we have, and how are we going to cope if we have to recruit staff if it must be specialized, we analyze what the potential market, and what has potential for growth, competition study (although not of our own shows, there may be others). Additional information at Adam Roseman supports this article. When one thinks of riding a Franchising is important to try to learn as much as possible to the franchisor, its history, and if possible, visit any center that is in place, to see how the spot, including talking to customers …

Although the model works in general, it is interesting consider whether the type of business you are thinking mount fits the demographics of the town or city in which you want to install it. Normally it is put some limitations on the minimum number of inhabitants, so that at least statistically, and has business, but it is worth considering (not to go, for example, we start a business aimed at a young audience in a town with a population aging). It is also important to compare this alternative to starting a business for ourselves. For example, if I am thinking of setting up a franchise consisting of a tapas bar, why not mount it to my liking? Or even if I could adapt the style of a franchise that I like to myself, but that all benefits would be for me, and I will do my management style with my brand, and under my criteria (though not logically will enjoy other advantages already mentioned). That is, assessing whether it is what gives us the franchise is worth what we would have to pay.

I received an inquiry from a reader who kindly made me think about a possibility I have not commented. With the crisis, many people ask to start a business for yourself, and you may find interesting possibility is to set up a franchise. How does the franchise system? What should we consider? Franchising is a business collaboration system in which the franchisor grants the franchisee a number of areas (marketing system itself, use of the brand, know how or know-how, technical assistance, etc.). In return, the franchisee usually pays an initial fee and a royalty or monthly fee for management services it provides and it is also usually a fee for advertising. The franchise is extensively regulated by different rules, since there is an European Franchise Code, applicable in Spain, is contained in Regulation 408/88 of the European Commission, in Article 85.3 and in Spain in Article 62 the Retail Trade Act and various Supreme Court rulings. Official site: ARC China.

These legal guarantees mean that the franchisor must be registered in a Register of Franchisors, under the Ministry of Industry. It should also provide pre-contractual information to the franchisee, which together with details of the franchisor and accreditation have in place the ownership of the brand. It should also describe the business, the experience of the company and its evolution, the characteristics of know how you will convey to the franchisee and what technical assistance it will provide, and many other elements of contracts, such as duration, conditions resolution and renewal, economic considerations, exclusive dealing and possible limitations that may be in managing the business.

This work revolves around the relationship between three elements: Flow, Creativity and Biodanza and how they help us to grow in happiness. Biodanza develops argue how our ability to enter into Flow. We start from the concept of Flow (Flow, Fluency, Fluency and Flow), understood from the perspective of studies of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (author whose work is related to Positive Psychology branch headed by Martin E. Seligman). For more information see this site: Mike Madden. The flow is the state of consciousness we experience when we are completely engrossed in what we are doing, when we flow, our focus is on activity and our thoughts, feelings and acts are harmoniously involved in it, we lose track of time, distractions disappear, we get the most out of our skills and abilities … the activity has meaning in itself and not merely as a means to another end. This “optimal experience” gives us a huge bonus and the development of our strengths and virtues personal. And also …

we can learn to flow! This is one of the key aspects to enhance our quality of life and, ultimately, our happiness. The second element is the Creativity, broadly understood here as a potential and right to possess all the people, groups and peoples. A comprehensive concept that includes thoughts, feelings, perceptions, instincts, bodies, actions, relationships, cultures, contexts … something that serves, in addition to other things, to create a happier life. And now the third element, the dance is a personal development system created by Rolando Toro Araneda (Chile psychologist and artist). Biodanza resources used as music, movement and relationships. It aims to strengthen the expression and development of human potential and part of the affection for the integration of the person herself, with others and the environment. His method is based on the induction of integrating experiences, the experience of an individual in the here and now.

Again, we find an element, this time from the hand of pleasure and joy of life with us to happiness. In my view what is experienced and the flow studied by Csikszentmihalyi have much to do. I believe that in Biodanza is flowing, but more importantly to help us carry that flow to our day to day. The objective of this paper is to argue the potential of Biodanza for it, how the regular practice of Biodanza develops our ability to enter a state of flux. A great way to reach happiness.

here are many characters that appear in the daily scene of the workplace. And tell the world of work, because unfortunately, to the detriment of all, we divide our lives into two: personal and workplace. I defend the view that even if you search and find a balance between the personal and professional, should be more consistent and accept our responsibilities, both business and personal. This division of “our two lives,” gives rise to many contradictory characters.

Thus, it claims to be the owner of your family and your home can be the errands of his superior, the storyteller in the company “may be the rogue of his personal history, the turncoat in labor, can be a enemy and personally unfair, the messenger in the company, can be demanding and personally incompetent, the run go tell the company, may be a loner in the personal. Concern is the huge amount of “errands” that there in the field of business. If we put ourselves mentally into the essence of “errands”, we see quickly that it is a character who lacks any kind of authority and obviously does not want any kind of job responsibilities. “I am a errands” with this expression, the character disclaims any initiative that might result in benefit of all co-workers and well-functioning and performance of the organization where you work. There is nothing I fear more “errands” as the word “proactive”, it seems as if he were allergic to this expression. “In my house I’m in charge, but here’s one errands, period.” And is that the mind of this character so common, just think, in the word “shirking.” “The errands” greatly harm to other co-workers, because their job duties transferred to the other, creating an overload workers committed to their profession and the company where they work, which over time may suffer physical wear and psychological stress at work. The worst for organizations is to take its management to a group of errands. As I mentioned in other articles, the management of the Company is responsible for creating a transparent business culture that generates commitment and collaboration among all members that compose it. Source: Kenneth Feinberg. Imagine how many managers, directors, personnel managers, coordinators, etc., are considered, they feel, and a self-proclaimed errands.

Whether you’re a new CEO in the company, or you’re simply trying to improve as the existing CEO, you have a lot of work ahead of you.  When striving to improve a company, you have to start by thinking about the workers.  In most companies, research has found that only 5% of the workforce actually understands the overall company strategy.  When you task your workers with being innovative, creative and goal-oriented, you have to remember that they can only achieve these goals if they understand the overall company goals.

One of the most important qualities in the CEO is transparency. The more that the company understands the CEO’s goals and the executive plans, the better each person will be at his job.  Teamwork is also an incredibly important aspect of the overall working of the company. When employees feel that they are working together on tasks, rather than competing with each other to look good to the executives, they are more likely to get quality work done.

Another quality which is often difficult for CEOs to grasp and to execute is to give each worker more power.  CEOs like to feel that they are in control and they are managing the process.  If, however, each worker feels a sense of responsibility for the tasks at hand, and a sense of commitment to the larger picture, they are more likely to work better and to work for the common goal.

The more creativity and power you offer to the people, the more that they will rise to the challenge. This often feels counterintuitive to the CEO who knows how to be in charge and in control.  However, it really does work when you give it a try.

By breaking the traditional pattern of working with a fixed schedule in an office, we are faced with a new way of working. This new form of remote work requires commitment and discipline of all participants, taking as a reward for the company and its staff a competitive advantage to the new workplace. What is Telecommuting, because this term is rarely used in Mexico? Present a good opportunity to reduce costs and expenses, is telecommuting, is an idea well worth evaluating. As the concept of “telework” is not yet widespread, but exists in many areas, for example, promoters, vendors, brokers, sales reps, accountants and tax advisers, legal and secretarial assistance and many others we could mention. If you want to define the simplest thing is to look to its etymological root, the Greek word tele, meaning far and work.

Given technological advances in computing and communication have been taken in recent years, Telework has also been a major boom, although it is difficult to know what percentage of people working at home is as much as teleworking and independent professional or entrepreneurs who started their business from home. But that implies costs and expenses of telecommunications equipment and the implementation of telework in a company, the cost-benefit can be very important compared with the costs of office of the company. Another important aspect to consider is the confidentiality and protection of the information and the working relationship that will keep the company with the home worker. Telework can be a good opportunity to curb the sharp rise that is taking on unemployment, since it can reduce costs and expenses in the company and maintain relationships with employees with experience and can bring value to the company.
