We are in the final stretch of the year, so it's time to calibrate to have the best shot at winning. So, I decided to dive deep into the state data of where growth is occurring (deals executed).&nbsp;What is interesting, as you will see below, is that the top 14 states (28% of U.S. coverage) represents 71.5% of deals.&nbsp;So the question is:&nbsp;Should you be spending in other states? OR:Should you narrow down your growth focus to be in states that are having the highest acceleration of growth?&nbsp;Now, the data is skewed to the 100ish franchise brands we work with and those who are executing deals. I have not broken the data out by investment level, yet.&nbsp;Another good resource is our&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/what-alec-laffers-state-level-economic-index-report-means-for-franchising-2722878">state-by-state review</a> (<a href="https://1851franchise.com/what-utahs-economic-outlook-means-for-franchisors-2722857">Utah is number 1</a>).
