If you ever get an opportunity (to buy a BNI Franchise) it’s a golden opportunity. Grab it with both hands. It doesn’t matter what it costs. Try and get a region because the reality is – it’s like gold dust.

The reason we became franchise owners in the first place was because I ran a [BNI] franchise for someone else and made them way too much money because we grew it so well! So we decided we have to buy our own, move somewhere, and do that again. And we did that!

Here’s the thing – once you become a franchise owner, you really don’t work anymore. What I mean by that is you’re having so much fun that you forget it’s work. It just becomes a part of who you are.
