Anybody here a franchise owner? If yes, what made you do it, and how hard is it to start/run a business? |

Customer: " Do you have cheeseburgers?"
Me: " Nope! We got spaghetti...and blankets."

What made me do it? I don't know... greed maybe.
Is it hard to run your business? Yes, always. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it but it will be hard.
Starting is always difficult, a lot of investments and you're bound to make mistakes that will cost you several amounts of money. I learned from such mistakes.
Why do you want to know?
Are you thinking of starting a business yourself? |

He hasn't given every detail of the process, but his two predominant feelings seem to be satisfaction in doing what he really wants and that of drowning in what he hopes will be temporary debt.
