Embracing Change: Keys to going ALL IN & the future of Surviving Outside Sales | SOS Ep.
Ever felt like you've bitten off more than you can chew? Well, brace yourselves as I take you through my taxing adventure of investing in franchises, opening a new store, and enduring the challenging journey of outside sales. From the complexities of real estate to the arduous legal aspects of the franchise process, it's a wild ride that has taught me invaluable lessons. Peek through the keyhole as I wrestle with lease negotiations, taps into the role of an architect firm, and grapple with the SBA process. This tumultuous journey culminates in hiring a general manager, kickstarting construction, and of course, coming to terms with the harsh realities of outside sales. Expect a raw, honest, and enlightening exploration as I share my experiences of dealing with the loss of my dear father, the chaos of September, and the dilemma of juggling too many tasks at once.
