Inside you'll learn: - Why the things that determine success are rarely the things owners worry about on day one - How to navigate the emotional highs and lows of ownership - Why bad reviews feel so personal and how to respond strategically - How to recognize the difference between a difficult phase and actual failure - Common mistakes owners make when chasing leads, managing growth, and solving operational problems >This is not a book about franchise theory. >The conversations. The lessons. The realities. >Because you're not crazy. But we do need to talk.
