We're excited to be a part of the RL team." RL's Sioux City Franchise Team   "Our operating philosophy-'Create Uncommon Results!' and 'Add value to everyone, every time, and in every way!'" Clyde C. Lowstuter   "Arthur Andersen and Company found that 96.9% of all franchises opened during the previous five years were still in operation, and that more than 85% of those businesses were still operated by the original franchise owner. On the other hand, the estimates for non-franchise business start-up failures range from 30% to 90%." How to Open a Franchise Business, Michael Powers

The World Today The Condition The lifetime employment contract of the 1960s and the 1970s no longer exists. The 1980s and 1990s found that profits were down, worldwide competition was up, and downsizings became commonplace. There is no disputing it, people need to take a more assertive approach toward managing their careers and their financial future, as companies are no longer guaranteed safe employment havens. The Challenge The challenge today is for individuals to find a career or a company in which long-term employment is a certainty. People want to be successful, but it is hard when they are afraid of what will become of their jobs as their companies strain to compete. People want to contribute to others, add value, develop lasting employment relationships, and build financial security. This means learning to adapt to rapid and uncertain change, performing at higher levels, and being highly proactive and responsive.
