On Friday, I will be at The Franchise headquarters in Dallas. I am, quite frankly, scared out of my wits by this whole franchise thing.
I wasn't scared when I took the California bar exam, or even the Colorado bar exam when the guy next to me said it was his 7th time trying to pass it. I wasn't scared giving birth. (The morphine drip may have helped. Oh, you're going to pull a baby out of my abdomen from an incision that's only 5 inches long. Good luck with that! Oh looky there - you did it. Good night.)
Although, of course, I have first amendment rights (At least, I'm fairly sure I do. Con law was one big snoozer - those Supreme Court guys sure do like to hear themselves write!) I will not be disclosing the name of the franchise until the franchise agreement is signed and it would be appropriate to do so. I will say that the store sells one type of dessert item and coffee.
Anyway, I am scared shitless because if I fail at this, I fail big. HUGE. Like, this is going to cost 4x as much as my law degree. However, I cannot underscore this point enough - I am assuming I get wholesale coffee.
And we have to think positively - what could possibly go wrong.

They beauty of it is you have the name behind you. They wouldn't be selling franchises if they weren't successful!
ReplyDeleteI hate doing things that scare me. Especially when they're WAY out of my comfort zone. Which is a rather small little zone.
ReplyDeleteBut you know what? After I do them, I'm always really damn proud of myself. And then my older, wiser, hindsight 20-20 self sits down my earlier self and mocks her for being such a wimp. Hindsight me is kind of a jerk.
Good luck! If I'm ever in town I'll totally stop by the Franchise, because I love dessert and I love coffee and I love you.
Break a leg!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking a risk! I hope it all works out. And free coffee! That is one nice perk (ok, very bad, and unintended pun, but now that I typed it, must share).
