What is your background?

I have an entrepreneurial background, having built operated and sold five different small businesses in my career. I started my business career as a sales executive with Xerox back in the late 80s and the things I learned at Xerox about sales and marketing are still the things I use in business today. I’ve been an independent business owner and a franchise owner, before moving firmly onto the franchisor side about 10 years ago.

What motivates you to keep going?

I absolutely love that I have the ability to be successful in my own career while helping others be successful small business owners. It is incredibly fulfilling for me.

If you were to start again, what would you do differently?

The one thing I’d do is keep some of my businesses instead of selling to cash out. I think I’d be better off in the long run in that case.

Please tell us your secret to success…

I surround myself with “good hearted” people!

What is the worst job you have ever had and what did you learn from it?

I can’t really say that I had a worst job. I try to be as positive as possible in every role I’ve ever had.

What is one thing that really excites you?

I get excited by a lot of stuff, but the one thing that really makes me happy is when we have a franchise operator who follows the model, works hard and has great success. One of my favorite times of the year is when we have our yearly Franchise Conference. It gives me a chance to meet all our franchise operators and hear all the wonderful success stories first hand.

Any final words for aspiring entrepreneurs?

My own personal experience has taught me that the best tagline of all time was by Nike a number of years ago. “Just do it!” I think people often limit themselves when they don’t have to. Sometimes it’s just a matter of pulling the trigger. What’s holding you back from achieving your dreams? Just Do It!
