NOW OPEN: Acceler8Success Cafe

Known as FranchisEssentials since 2009, we’ve re-branded this site to be relevant beyond franchising. Although franchising is still an integral part of this site and our core business, we’ve expanded our efforts to encompass small business, restaurants and the exciting world of entrepreneurship. Across the top of our site you’ll be able to access information that will provide you a glimpse into our evolving world, now under the Acceler8Success Group umbrella.

As for Acceler8Success Café, it is our digital resource that includes newsletters, online meetings, podcasts, webinars, social networking and other virtual activities & events. All shared content is relevant to entrepreneurship, small business, restaurants and of course, franchising.

Future plans for Acceler8Success Cafe include meeting at local restaurants and coffee shops to offer no-cost opportunities for local business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs to get together in a relaxed setting to discuss ways to accelerate business and personal success.

Please follow hashtags #Acceler8Success #Acceler8SuccessCafe across social media. In addition, we have launched our new Acceler8Success website and have recently updated the Franchise Foundry website.

Thank you!

Winning at Poker & Business Starts with the Right Mindset

If you’re not aware of the movie, “Rounders”, it’s basically about the dark side of underground high-stakes poker. Movies like this easily correlate to business. For instance, the main character, Michael McDermott says,

“Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY YEAR? What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?”

Similar sentiment can be expressed about entrepreneurs that start one business after another, and mostly succeed. Do you think that’s luck? Hell, no! It’s knowing when to take a calculated risk, understanding the odds, hedging bets when necessary, being patient, exploring opportunities to increase your bankroll and knowing when to take a competitor head-on. It really is a mindset. Something to think about from the movie as well, “You can’t lose what you don’t put in the middle.. but you can’t win much either.”
