How hard is this?

Well just as I was about to get my first franchisee on board, I was let down at the eleventh hour…worse still, I found out that she tried to set up in competition with me, so had to spend a couple of week and legal costs on sorting that one out.

Yes, I’m still talking to other people, so all is not lost, but it’s hard, hard work.

I’ve learnt some valuable lessons from going through that experience though – how long it takes; what to tell people and what not to etc – sometimes you do wonder whether it’s all worth it.

Yet another time for me to pick myself up off the floor, dust myself off and get on with the job…
