The BRAKE Report’s Post

Working with the best minds is truly the best.

I really value being at a company that strives to be better and make changes.

Attendance is free.

I am sharing this post with great pride. Proud of the amazing team we have at The Max Challenge of Old Bridge. We have been franchisees for 11 years, owned up to three locations, and have all the ingredients to build a great business: 👊 Customer focus 👊 A talented and committed staff, who gives of themselves, have an incredible passion to make a difference, and buys into the vision and values that we uphold at the Max Challenge 👊 Great leadership - my bride Maureen Bruno and our manager Alex (both pictured in the photo below) are an incredible team. Never resting on "status quo", they continue to find ways to be better, day after day, month after month, year after year. 👊 business acumen 👊 Community engagement and relationships All of these ingredients have helped us to be consistently top performers in the franchise network and also helped us overcome COVID, where gyms in NJ were shut down for 6 months and had significant restrictions for the next 9 months.

🥁 2 days post Businessplan-Wettbewerb Berlin-Brandenburg (BPW) 🥁 Let's get it out of the way: We did not win, sorry, fans! Thanks for all the support though, especially everyone who came to the event just for Henrietta! You guys are just ❤️ Congrats to the winners of both the main prize and the audience prize (I honestly don't think anyone could have competed with that winning pitch, so chapeau!). The good news for me and Henrietta though: We ranked 6th in total! Out of more than 150 entries 🤯 I tend to sweep accomplishments like this under the rug but I think it is time to take a step back and look at this result as it is. This was my first business plan I ever wrote. It is a strange feeling to publicly say that I am proud of something I achieved but I am. Is this a female thing? And of course it wouldn't be a proper LinkedIn Post without the key learnings, so I also have one for you: A business plan is hard work but once I had it, it made so much sense to do it. Sounds like a no brainer but sometimes we need to say the most obvious things or even write them down - like you have to with your business idea in a business plan. Many of the things I wrote down felt like "d'uh" moments because it was all in my head, not really cohesive but it was there. Consequently, it was really important to see them all written down in a structured form. It made me feel much safer with my idea and the execution. Also, I was able to incorporate so many bits and pieces that came to me which led to a well rounded strategy. So I will definitely continue with the plan for the next phase in may and incorporate the feedback I was given. Can't wait to learn more about how to best work on Henrietta! #femalefounders #berlinstartups #womeninai Paul Karrmann Tamara Bayreuther Karolin Maiwald Julian Faust
