Justin Donald is back!

 

Erik and Justin talk about everything from the importance of having coaches, why people think more money equals more freedom (and how to overcome that thinking), and much more!

 

The truth is, most people get into franchising to have freedom from what they had experienced in their 9-5. The sad reality is that most in franchising ended up purchasing themselves a job.

 

This episode will help you think at a higher level to assess what you need to do to be able to work ON your business rather than IN your business!
