“
A franchise is similar to raising a child. Be prepared to love, nurture
and go through the growing pains from birth to maturity. Expect
to enjoy all the excitement it will bring, and don’t let the adversity
get you down. Set realistic goals and take positive steps every day
to make the goals come to fruition. Watch what other successful
people do and emulate it. Be excited and passionate about what your
business will do for your community, take all the knowledge and
expertise your Franchisor gives to you, and run with it. Investing
in a franchise means you do not have to ‘go it alone.’ You will get a
family-like support system surrounding you.”

a business where my husband,
my parents, and I could all work
together —a true “family owned
and operated” venture.
“
Before purchasing the American Poolplayers Association franchise, I had
always envisioned starting a business where my husband, my parents, and I
could all work together—a true “family owned and operated” venture. Since
none of us had experience owning a business, and all of us came from totally
different professional backgrounds, the challenge was finding something
that worked for everyone—something that could incorporate each of our
strengths. The APA franchise was a perfect fit!”
