On this episode I am joined by Jon Ostenson, founder of Franbridge Consulting, a non-restaurant franchise broker. Whether you already own a business or you are eager to deep you foot into entrepreneurship, franchising could possibly be the right way to go. Jon and I talk about the pros and cons of franchising, the funds needed to get started and so much more.  Episode Quote: With a franchise, you have someone who cares as much about the business name and image as you do because they own it. ~Jim Evanger Jon's contact info: Website: https://franbridgeconsulting.com/ Email: [email protected] Helpful Entrepreneurial Resources from Become Your Own Boss Monica FREE ebook Get your Become Your Own Boss Planner Episode Sponsor -  Zeus' Closet Solopreneur Package Now Available - Promo Code: BOSS The best way to train team members - Trainual Link Get the 30 point checklist for building a clothing brand at www.zeuscloset.com/checklist Ways to reach me: DM me on IG @becomeyourownboss Email: [email protected] Follow me on Clubhouse - @monicaallen2 Join my Clubhouse Club -  Become Your Own Boss - Social Media Room hosted each Thursday at 10AM EST.
