In this special episode, Gresham Harkless reflects on how they started their franchise broker business before they felt "ready," which has been a key part of their entrepreneurial journey. Gresham emphasizes that it’s often beneficial to start things even when you're not fully prepared because you’ll make more progress than waiting until everything feels perfect. He shares that they received a potential lead through a Facebook group post from someone looking to sell their franchise. Gresham believes that blocking out time helps them stay disciplined and focused, which is essential for managing multiple business ventures. He also admits that they struggled to find a place to fit the franchise brokering business into their schedule. In addition, Gresham discusses the importance of discipline and intentionality in balancing all their responsibilities.
