Jody Merrill says being a franchisor often means saying no. She says no to people who want to change the plan or buy a territory that does not fit. Learning to say no helps her find the right people.
The process from first talk to opening a studio takes about one year. It requires patience and strength to handle hard times. Most of the right people already know her or come from within her network.
She remembers when she was in the same position. Everyone told her not to do it. But she learned that sometimes you have to make your own choice, go for it, and be ready for problems.
