The Flow State of Business: Navigating Growth, Market Dynamics, and Change – Kevin Oldham

“If you find yourself in a state or a season of organizational flow, embrace the heck out of it. Because one thing that we know is that if you’re growing, and even if you’re not growing, the market’s changing. So even if you’re static in terms of “hey, you’ve got XL locations. There’s not a lot of growth, not a lot of loss”. The market’s still gonna change. So the dynamics impacting your business are still going to change. And what I like to say is when you find that flow state within your organization, embrace it because it will change.”

Building Momentum: Strategies for Creating a Season of Flow in Your Franchise – Kevin Oldham

“A season of flow in your franchise to me or in any business means that things are going pretty better than typical. They’re not as laborious, they’re maybe not as painful for you, right? Again, it doesn’t mean that every single thing is awesome. It just means in the aggregate that things seem to go a lot easier in your business. Maybe you’ve worked out a lot of the kinks, maybe you’ve gotten rid of a franchisee that was a thorn in your side, maybe it was just anything.”
