So that process just takes time." -  [Tim Swackhammer]-     "Yeah, I've seen some people who are convinced they have a good franchising opportunity because they've run a single location of something... but that's not the same as running a store in Minneapolis, right." - [Jonathan Green]-     "I think that's really helpful because a lot of people entering their first franchise wouldn't know the window to look for and they can easily jump too fast or take too long." - [Jonathan Green]Connect with Tim Swackhammer●  Website: http://moldmedicsfranchising.com/Connect with Jonathan GreenThe Bestseller: ChatGPT ProfitsFree Gift: The Master Prompt for ChatGPTFree Book on Amazon: Fire Your BossPodcast Website: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/  Subscribe, Rate, and Review: https://artificialintelligencepod.com/itunesVideo Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtificialIntelligencePodcast
