Quotes
“It’s a business. It’s hard. Just because you got a good franchisor and a good blueprint, you still have to execute.”
“There are a lot of franchise companies that don’t have brand recognition. There’s hundreds of franchise businesses where you don’t necessarily know the name but they have a great system in what they do.”
“Franchisors are looking for partners. They’re not just letting anybody in and taking your money. It's important that they’re truly looking for the right person.”
