🌍 Happy World Franchising Day!
Franchising has been a huge part of my life since 2018. Shout out to a handful of the BEST people I have ever met thanks to franchising and continue to inspire me daily 💥
Over the years I've had the privilege of operating across multiple territories, managing multiple units, building teams, growing customer bases, increasing revenues, winning awards, reaching national finals - and experiencing the highs, lows and everything in between that comes with business ownership.
Franchising has given me opportunities I never imagined, introduced me to incredible people, and taught me lessons that only come from being on the front line every single day.
As one chapter comes to a close this summer I'm incredibly grateful for everything the industry has given me 🙏
But what excites me most is what comes next.
Having lived and breathed franchising for years, I'm now stepping into a new role within the sector — helping others navigate their own franchise journeys.
Whether you're exploring franchise ownership for the first time, looking for honest insights before investing, or you're a franchisor wanting potential franchisees to hear a genuine franchisee perspective - I believe there is huge value in real-world experience.
That's exactly why I'm launching the Franchise Squad through Helen's Hub 🌟
A growing network designed to connect aspiring franchisees with trusted support, experienced professionals, training providers, suppliers and industry experts.
Alongside this, I'll also be offering Franchise Discovery Power Hours — honest, practical conversations about the realities of franchise ownership, the questions you should be asking and what to look out for before making one of the biggest business decisions you'll ever make.
The good. The bad. The ugly. The opportunities.
Because informed franchisees make stronger franchise businesses.
Happy World Franchising Day to everyone helping the sector grow 🚀
