Franchise Monks
It’s funny I found myself talking about Franchises a great deal today. My father is on a business trip from Florida. Dad and Robert were talking about how well we work as a family unit. My Dad is great he believes that Robert and I would be great business owners. So the day involved a great deal of conversation about what business we would be interested in doing if we had the time and capital to do it.
This is fun for me and a normal part of Robert’s and my dialogues. So, I found it fun to have another player in the game who understands how businesses work.
Imagine my surprise to be watching Terry Jones Medieval Lives: The Monk Show. So it turns out that Monks were a Franchised praying service for War Heroes to invest in saving their souls.
Hmmmm, How would that work with some of the Franchises available today.
Well most people are less likely to be involved in physical combat.
How about Pollution Balance Monks? They would plant more trees and plants to offset the amount of carbon-dioxide and pollution we cause in our daily lives. Part of their vows would involve only using things that could be biodegradable. They would have to vow to leave a negative pollution footprint on their lives in everything they do. (Hey the reality-TV junkies out there would love a show on this) Hey this could be really lucrative.
How about the Television-holic penance Monks: They will not watch any TV but will do enough exercise for you and them. They will go play ball, hiking, skiing, and swimming and even take vacations. I think my father in-law for a small fee will do these social penances for you.
The McMonks will not eat fast or junk foods. They will eat only organic and exercise everyday and all day, when not eating.
I would love to hear some others ideas on Modern Monk Franchises.
