Revolutionizing Home Organization: A Conversation with Aaron Cash, Founder of Garage Living Systems

In our conversation, Aaron Cash, the President of Garage Living Systems, talks about the characteristics of some of his most successful franchise partners.  You may be surprised to find out that Aaron doesn’t necessarily use revenues as a measure of success.  Aaron outlines the importance of self-awareness, humility, and the willingness to ask for guidance in addition to several other characteristics.

We also explore the utilization of experienced consultants during their transition into franchising, strategic planning with their franchisees, and Aaron's perspective on the feasibility of a passive or semi-absentee model.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in franchising, whether you're already a franchisee, considering becoming one, or operating as a franchisor.  There's valuable insight for everyone!

Aaron Cash is a founder and President of Garage Living Systems.  While working toward an undergraduate business degree, Cash interned in the marketing departments of multiple Fortune 500 companies.  However, rather than working for a large corporation after graduation, he used what he learned to forge his own path.  He wanted to take the entrepreneurial route.

Aaron partnered with a couple of classmates, one of whom had an uncle with a sizable metal fabrication business in Chicago.  They launched their company as a direct-to-consumer distributor of custom cabinetry designed for garages.

They operated as an independent business for 10 years and started franchising in 2015, originally as a one-man show with a single franchise in the U.S. and another in Canada.  Today, they have a head office staff of 30, and just passed the 50-franchise mark.  Go to https://garageliving-franchises.com/ to get more information about the company.
