I am a registered dental hygienist and love to work with people. I would love to start my own business in the care of others but do not know how to get started. I also have a special needs son and would like to do something with individuals with special needs. Could you please give me some advice on how to get started.

There are many valid point here and some of the usual finger pointing. I’ll say this, sometimes the best of franchisors are guilty of an error in franchisee selection but at other times we have the franchisors who don’t deliver on support, training and their end of marketing. These are typically the franchisors feasting on habitual and deliberate franchise selling to any sucker who can sign their name.

Creekers BBQ in Elizabethton Tn. is one of the best BBQ joints I have ever eaten!!! They have been judged by magazines and newspapers to have the best ribs from Chattanooga to Ashville, NC. They have created there own sauces from scratch. Its only been open for little over a year and a half, and it has taken Northeast Tennessee by storm. If your in the area near the Bristol Motor Speedway, this place is a must for all the BBQ lovers!!! Oh almost forgot, You can sample any meat for $1.99. Burntends are a must!!!! Yum!

Hello, I own the Curves in Minerva, Ohio. Where is the closest club to me that I can visit that have your pads and covers in use? I’m really interested in the rollers as my club is 8 years old. Susan

It would be nice if you reimbursed your employees for gasoline expenses. After footing the bill for gas for my personal car, I am making 7-8 dollars per hour instead of eleven dollars per hour. I’m paying out of my own pocket to make money for your company! A weekly gas stipend would be nice.

Just wondering if you have contacted both the franchisee and franchisor about these problems. They both may not even be aware there is a problem.

I don’t think most franchisees, and small business owners in general, realize that a major part of business success is marketing and selling your products and services. Even in a franchises system, you still have to run a business……not sit on the couch and wait around for your self fulfilling prophesy to come true.
