I remember talking to my friends about opening a franchise before children. I wanted a either a craft store or a Home Depot up near me… well, within months of mentioning wanting to open a Home Depot, one opened up. And after much discussion it was decided not to go into buying a franchise. I had my own business for a couple of years when I was going to college. I raised and sold finches wholesale to pet stores. I was trying to ‘save the ones in the wild’. Which is why I have those stories about my dad opening a plastic container in the fridge and dumping 5000 meal worms on the floor. I also remembered all the paperwork. The lack of time. All those other things that go into starting a business. Though I did just the other day think how nice it would be to have an Ikea closer to me.
