Get Inspired by Jane* “My idea was to differentiate. I was going to get into this business and raise the bar. I’m going to provide an entirely new level of services that people aren’t getting elsewhere.”
* “Underlying most people’s fascination with and desire to own their own business is a very emotional decision.”
* “The difference [of owning your own business]? You love it and it’s yours. It’s exciting. You’re building something and it’s important to you. It just feels different.”
* “Once you get up over 3 locations of a brand, that’s when the magic happens in terms of higher margins, you can manage your staffing more easily, you can move your inventory where it needs to be.”
