On today's episode of Investing To Win, Garret Wong talks with Rafiq Punjani, an international award-winning serial entrepreneur from Winnipeg, podcaster and owner of Anago Cleaning Systems. Rafiq Punjani had a tough upbringing in Buxton. But his life changed when he moved to Dubai and took a job with Ernst & Young. After working there for 10 years, he and his wife decided to immigrate to Canada.
Rafiq will talk about how he started his first business in Canada and why he had to close it after two years. He will also talk about how he was able to change his mindset to create a scalable business. This led to him getting into franchising, where he now operates 50 franchises in the cleaning industry. He will explain why he bought Anago, a leader in the commercial cleaning industry, as a franchisor. As a family-owned and operated business, he will talk about how he maintains a knowledge-based partnership with his four partners at Anago. You'll also learn how he bounced back after losing more than 50% of his returning commercial cleaning customers in two weeks. His entrepreneurial journey in franchising should give you valuable insights into why choosing the right franchise partner is so important.

This includes finding good single-detached family homes and finding the right partners. You will also learn when is the best time to buy a property.
