It was more than a year ago when I sold my small business to focus on family and personal life. The journey for me had started 5 years before that and it was a heck of a ride. I saw many ups and downs – challenges, opportunities, excitement, frustration all wrapped in one package. I know most of you are thinking – “Are you talking about you or me.”
Since the time I sold my business I have been inching to go back those exciting days – something that would give back to the small business community I dearly love and share my experience and knowledge with those who may still be enjoying the ride or thinking about jumping on board.
And so I am jumping back in the small business world with this blog along with my consulting / advising business. This blog is about small business – be it in the form of a franchise or stand alone operation. I plan to cover a variety of topics that are on top of the mind for all business owners. These include; but not limited to, financing, purchasing, marketing, operations, customer service, employee relations, and overall management of small business. In short, this blog is targeted to the Chief Everything Officer of a small business – YOU!! If you are an existing business owner or thinking about starting a business you will benefit from this blog.
My goal is to help small business and franchise owners succeed by providing information, news, guidance and tools acquired from my own experience as past business owner to help you make right decisions and improve your business.
I have more than 5 years of hands-on experience in owning and operating multi-unit franchise. In those 5 years I have gone through the entire life cycle of small business operations including buying an existing franchise, opening a new franchise business, operating multiple units and selling them. I was responsible for all aspects of the business including start-up, purchasing, store operations, customer relations, marketing, financing and franchise relation.
I will occasionally be joined by my husband, who has more than 15 years of experience in working for and advising number of Fortune 500 companies in the areas of business strategy and financial planning. He also has an MBA degree with focus on strategy and marketing from University of Michigan – a top ranked business school in the world.
Waiting to hear from fellow small business owners.
