Are you looking for ways to be more successful in business? Do you wish you could achieve more and be more productive and adaptable in your work life?  Then this week’s podcast episode is for you. Whether you are a franchisor, franchisee, entrepreneur, or employee, tune in to hear powerful secrets to success in business with Gordon Logan, Chairman and Founder of Sport Clips.

In the early 1990s, Gordon Logan recognized the huge potential, and relative lack of competition, in the men's and boys’ haircut market. He wanted to create a place where guys could take care of one of life’s necessities – a haircut – and say “This is my kind of place; I feel comfortable here” when they walked in the door. Assembling a group of passionate industry professionals, Gordon and his team worked together to develop the unique Sport Clips Haircuts concept we know today. While the Sport Clips logo and store design have changed since the first location opened in Austin, Texas in 1993, Gordon’s goal, and Sport Clips’ mission - to provide a “championship haircut experience in an exciting sports environment” - remains the same.

Prior to founding Sport Clips, Gordon served as an Aircraft Commander in the U.S. Air Force, after which he worked as a financial planning and control consultant with Price Waterhouse & Co. in Houston, Texas.  He is a graduate of MIT and The Wharton School of Business, at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a retired CPA in the State of Texas. Gordon later owned and operated salons throughout Texas, an experience which proved to be invaluable in his journey toward creating one of the most successful haircut franchises in the nation.

Be sure to take notes as Gordon shares:

• Why franchisors should understand why they should help franchisees realize their goals and dreams 
• The 3 important types of plans to have in place

• Why everyone should realize that there are going to be bumps in the road and how to handle them
• Why plans are worthless but planning is essential
