Inside Secrets of Building and Scaling a Franchise Business
There are lots of ways to build a successful business, and wherever you start, you realize hopefully sooner than later that business is all about relationship and community.
You know you’re onto something special when your customers want to work for you, and even become franchisees.
And when women build and leverage their networks, particularly with other women, we’re unstoppable like Kara Holden, who is busy building her natural airbrush tanning franchise business, AGLOW.
Kara’s mission is all about empowering others by fostering meaningful relationships with clients and carefully selecting employees who share her vision, creating a legacy of compassion and empowerment, transforming AGLOW into a sanctuary of empowerment and confidence, while enabling women to establish businesses rooted in service, leading to both personal fulfillment and financial security.
