FBR SPECIAL REPORT
Owning a small business in the growth stage
can be a great incubator for children.
“
We’re so proud of having been able to be there for our kids as they went through school
and college…not being consumed in our business. We provided a high quality education
for them, and a great lifestyle for our family. The harder times we went through in the
earlier years were a great example for our children, and we’re very proud of the adults that
they are becoming. Owning a small business in the growth stage can be a great incubator
for children.”

Few things are more satisfying than observing
the professional growth of your employees.
“
Few things are more satisfying than observing the professional growth
of your employees. Candidly, it’s not something I had expected when
embarking into entrepreneurship some years ago. I’ve derived significant
fulfillment from job creation, training and promotion, and from seeing
the pride in the eyes of our people (and their families) as they advance
their careers and realize professional goals.”

Work hard.
Plan to do what it takes to be successful.
“
Learn the systems of your new franchise. Amada taught me everything. I had never been
in medical sales so I had no idea what I was doing. They taught me who to market to, how
to market, and when to market. You need to learn all of the differentiators between you
and your competition. Work hard. Plan to do what it takes to be successful. Sometimes it
takes working 7 days a week.”
