I’ve informally mentioned my role as a part owner in a new franchise that is taking the Pacific Northwest by storm. This month my first distribution check comes in and I therefore wanted to share with you my journey to profitability.

For brick and mortar franchisees, securing your real estate transaction carries a significant weight on your future success. Not only is it a substantial investment, most of the time you are locked into a long-term lease. The terms in these leases can also bind you to extensive and expensive renovations if not done properly.

Setting your own schedule. Being your own boss. Taking control of your professional and financial path.

Going through the purchasing phase of a franchise spikes the adrenaline and fills your mind with endless optimism. That’s great! You should be energized by your new endeavor.
