Get Inspired by Emily* “I have my other company I’m working with, and I also have two young boys, and outside of that have the third responsibility of the wax center. I kind of liked the fact I didn’t have to recreate the wheel.”
* “I found a lot of help from other franchisees, telling them my story, meeting them, asking what they recommend. I got a lot of coaching from them.”
* “Know what you’re looking for. If it is a business or a franchise, do you believe in that product? Why are you opening a store? What’s your personal goal? Research what you’re buying into.”
* “Talk with as many people as you can and get the good, bad, and the ugly stories. You want to hear all of it, and you’ll probably go through all of it.”
