If you are making the decision to buy a franchise license make sure that you aren't doing it for the wrong reasons.

Buying a franchise license is not the same as taking a job. It will require a serious investment of time and energy to create success. This of course will impact your lifestyle and so including your family in the decision making process is essential.

This is the advice given by Tim Slesinger and Nigel Dawson 2 of the 3 Co-Founders of easyStorage at the end of this episode. We also talk about:

- Having the right people around you

- The effect of exposure to entrepreneurs at an early age

- Making and learning from mistakes

- Introducing Boots to a franchising model

- What makes a business franchise-able

- Subscription based business models

- Approaching a virgin market 

- An accidental meeting that went really well

- And much, much more!
