Steve Betts<br />
DreamMaker<br />
Bath & Kitchen<br />
Amarillo and Lubbock, TX<br />
Franchisee since 2008<br />
Why did you decide <strong>to</strong> buy a franchise?<br />
I wanted <strong>to</strong> own my own business.<br />
Why did you choose your franchise?<br />
DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen has a great<br />
reputation. I heard about it from a previous<br />
franchise owner who spoke highly of it <strong>to</strong> me.<br />
What is the best part of your job?<br />
Transforming spaces in<strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers’ visions and<br />
seeing the joy in their faces upon completion.<br />
Where do you see yourself in five years?<br />
I see myself being less involved in the day-<strong>to</strong>-day<br />
operations of my business.<br />
Who has most influenced your approach <strong>to</strong><br />
business?<br />
My dad.<br />
What advice do you have for prospective<br />
franchise buyers?<br />
Focus on the values and culture of the franchisor<br />
and franchisees by spending time with each.<br />
Owning a franchise is a long-term commitment<br />
and there will be things you like and dislike along<br />
the way. You need <strong>to</strong> ultimately believe in the<br />
direction and character of the franchisor in order<br />
<strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> build a successful business venture.<br />
Describe franchising in one word<br />
I think five describe it best—the sky is the<br />
limit. There’s no way I would have made half of<br />
what I made last year doing what I was doing<br />
before becoming a DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen<br />
franchisee.<br />
