𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 | 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗘Think Like a Franchise. Run a Better Business.
Featuring Tim Cotten
You don't have to own a franchise to learn how to run your business like one.
What do successful franchises know about running a business that independent business owners can learn from?
Join us at The Offices for our final Third Thursday Speaker Series event of 2026, featuring Tim Cotten, an experienced business operator, franchise entrepreneur, and business coach.
Behind successful franchises are systems, processes, and operating principles designed to create consistency, develop strong teams, and support long-term growth. But those principles aren't exclusive to franchises.
We'll explore how independent business owners can apply these same ideas to:
✓ Build repeatable systems that support growth
✓ Strengthen leadership and develop better teams
✓ Improve efficiency and day-to-day operations
✓ Create a more profitable, sustainable business
Whether you're just getting started, managing a growing team, or running an established company, this is an opportunity to learn from real-world experience, ask questions, and discover practical ways to improve your business.
