Michael:
These attorneys had zero experience – so little in fact they weren’t even familiar with the franchise legal terms “Cut & Paste” and “Search & Replace.” Nor did they have FranDocs on speed dial, or a Frequent Buyer card from UFOCs R US (Buy 3 the 4th’s half price).
Just kidding… just kidding… no need to send me outraged slander letter #12
“…passing the entire buck to your advisors won’t fly…”
No, I believe his attorneys required that he pass the entire buck to them before they commenced drafting. They might be clueless, but they are still lawyers.
“Personally, I have taped over all the mirrors in my house.” So has Joel, Michael, but for a different reason. The same reason his wife taped over her glasses.
OK: Now that I’ve thoroughly insulted the legal profession and the King of franchising, I shall risk appearing as one who kicks’m when they’re down. Stephen should actually be thankful that his venture into franchising was this short-lived. Anyone who would accept the life savings of so many individuals while having done so little homework and learned so little about franchising, would be headed for much bigger trouble than he got into. What a nightmare franchisor he would have been… especially since he – as Michael says – does not accept any responsibility for his failure. I’m sorry, Steven, but had you invested $15 and four hours with “Franchising For Dummies” you wouldn’t be in this spot. (Or three hours on the Internet.)
Important lesson: You cannot blindly leave the fate of your company in the hands of any advisor. The rewards, consequences and responsibility are yours.

Joel;

I know: terrible to suggest that one ought to look in mirror.

Personally, I have taped over all the mirrors in my house.

Mistakes were made, but not by me.

Michael,
Are you suggesting that one needs to look at himself or herself to see what their role was in the situation.
Cmon!

Sean;

There is a lot of blame to go around here; but passing the entire buck to your advisors won’t fly.

It’s no longer Wordless Wednesday, Joel. You may now communicate via self-contained linguistic units. At least until Wednesday.
