Digital printing has revolutionized the sign industry. Current printers can reproduce an image at 1440 dpi (dots per inch) at virtually any size. But they are worthless if the original image is of low resolution. We define resolution using pixels. A pixel is commonly thought of as the smallest individual unit of an image (tiny dots if you will).
Learn every job and every position of your business. Be able to step in and help when needed. Be ready when employees quit, don't show, or simply think you can't manage without them. I can tell you from personal experience, all these things happen. The last thing you want is one of your employees having an upper hand with YOUR BUSINESS, because you can't do their job.
Be able to accept the fact that you don't "know it all", regardless of your past experiences and expertise. Listen to your franchisor and other franchisees. It is your business, but they have been doing it longer. Utilize their knowledge and expertise. The wrong attitude coupled with a few bad decisions may jeopardize your investment and your dream.
Remember, the one major variable in a franchises success is you. A franchise can be a very rewarding and profitable business when operated the right way, by the RIGHT PERSON!
