There are a number of stories from our Clients, however, the story that is most recurring is “we recruited a difficult franchisee”. The biggest mistake a Franchisor can make, is selling a Franchised Business to the wrong person. We understand how it happens though. It can be hard for a business owner that has recently turned into a Franchise System to turn away a delicious cheque looking back at them from a boardroom table. The Franchisor generally knows that this person is ‘not quite the right fit’, but “hey” they tell themselves, “with a bit of training and some support, they could work, right?” trying desperately to convince themself. The lack of business experience, the lack of industry experience and the lack of interpersonal skills are things that can be ignored, because what this potential Franchisee does not lack is money and “that cheque that would be so useful for marketing right now!”  Often times, for a Franchisee, it is their first time owning a business.

A tiny radioactive capsule that could result in skin burns was being carried from a mine in Western Australia when it vanished. The 8mm by 6mm capsule, which is said to have fallen from a truck when it was travelling 1,400 kilometres between a mine site north of Newman in the Pilbara and a depot in Perth, is being sought after by hazardous material specialists. The WA chief health officer, Andy Robertson, stated that the capsule, which is only 6mm by 8mm in size, releases a “reasonable” quantity of radiation during an emergency press conference on Friday. This can be a threatening for   life in Australia . What exactly is the capsule, and what are the risks of exposure? The little silver cylinder is a caesium 137 ceramic source, which is typically employed in radiation metres. The machine produces the equivalent of 10 X-rays in an hour, according to Western Australia’s chief health officer, Andrew Robertson, therefore people should keep at least five metres away.
