Our fears create traps along our path towards our dreams. Trap [...]

A franchise opportunity does not create happiness. It can contribute to it, but it is not the real cause of the happiness we may or may not feel. What a franchisor does or fails to do has no more impact on our happiness than what we allow it to have. In the same token, our jobs [...]

Working from the premise that franchisees are smart people who have already been successful at previous careers, we charge ahead to download mega gigs of information into their heads as soon as they join the system.
