#207: Bob Gappa - Founder & CEO Management 2000

207: Over the past 41 years I & Management 2000 have worked with over 1,650 companies who use franchising as their primary growth strategy. Management 2000’s clients exist in: USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India, Ireland, UK, and Germany.  We bring Performance Management Systems & Processes to our clients. These systems have two parts which need to work together. One is the dynamics of business, which is beliefs lived. The second is the mechanics of business which is systems implemented and technology utilized. Every business needs a Vision Statement and then must know its top priorities for achieving the Vision. For companies using franchising those top priorities are: (1) locations open, (2) successful franchisees, and (3) very satisfied, loyal, frequent user, promoter customers. Theme: My job, role, function and purpose in my business life is to help people discover how to think the ways they need to think so their enterprise will be successful. In addition to my work in Management 2000 I have been a franchise of five Brands and the CEO of one Brand. Value for the listener: Discover the difference between thinking and having thoughts.
