Have you ever heard the story about “The dog and the nail”?
There was a young man walking down the street and happened to see an old man sitting on his porch. Next to the old man was his dog, who was whining and whimpering.
The young man asked the old man “What’s wrong with your dog” The old man said “He’s laying on a nail”.
The young man asked “Laying on a nail?, Well why doesn’t he get up?” The old man then replied “It’s not hurting bad enough.”
What nails are you lying on in your life?
Every day we have conversations with folks who go “I’ve wanted to start a business for 5, 10, 15 years….” but yet they are still stuck doing the same damn thing, over and over and over again.
Why?
Because we lie to ourselves and say “I’m good” when we really aren’t.
PAIN is what precedes change. Once we finally say, “enough is enough! I’m tired of being out of shape and not liking who I see in the mirror.”
“I’m embarrassed to take my shirt off at the pool or the beach..”
Then you’ll finally start eating right, and exercising more consistently.
Once we finally say “ I’m actually pretty damn miserable at my work, or I hate not being able to see my kids anymore”….
All of a sudden, we aren’t willing to endure the pain any longer, and we finally decide to change.
So back to the question: What nails are you lying on in your life?
More importantly, what are you going to do about it?

This week, our featured resale comes from CertaPro Painters. Established in 1992, CertaPro has nearly 500 franchise units throughout the United States and Canada. They are the largest residential and commercial painting franchise in North America. Entrepreneur Magazine ranks the franchise #1 overall in the home services industry.

CLIENT CASE STUDY
Tyree bought a painting franchise and got off to a really fast start. Some impressive numbers. But then he faced a cash flow challenge.
One thing we do differently at Franchise Empire is we hold group coaching calls for LIFE for our ZTPF clients who buy franchises with us.
I’ve been coaching Tyree on these calls for the first 7 months of his business, through his first hires, and the challenges of building a business while his wife and he maintain their FT jobs.
Well, we broke through a huge barrier for him in his business and producing the cash flow he needs. Tune in live, or watch the recording for the newsletter to hear more!
