Today, Basil runs a thriving family-run business. And it all started with franchising.
He’s living proof that a business that taps into your unique gifts and strengths, and impacts the community is one of the greatest gifts of breaking free from corporate.
Watch the Full Episode:
When you start a business there’s a lure of it being fun to work in, but you have to step back and choose to keep evolving the business. I love designing, but I can be just as happy watching the business succeed.
In this episode Basil shares..
- How to navigate the self-inflicted lows of starting and running a business with family
- The key mindset shift that helped Basil fight the urge to work IN the business
- The strategy that kept his company on its feet in 2020 so that a “low” meant breaking even, not going out of business.
