How an informal networking group turned into a franchise business

March 28, 2008

I have a friend and business associate, Ron Finklestein, who recently converted his Business Mastery Advisory Board into a franchise opportunity. For years he has put together informal and formal groups for networking and advising.

Obviously, this is a good way to create buzz, add value for other people and build your network. His business has grown because of it.

He also worked hard at perfecting the format.  Eventually, he created an advisory board that is all business owners that act as each other’s advisors.  I have been in that program and the candid discussions around how to improve each person’s business were incredibly valuable.

When the time was right and the process worked well, he found it very easy to roll it into a franchise.

You can check out what he is doing here:  www.rpfgroupinc.com

If you want the benefit of years of experience, buy his franchise.  Or you can just wing it and start a networking group of your own.  You never know where it will take you.
