So to have a concept like Town Square where they can show you everything that you need to know to run the actual business itself, where you can be focused on opening and growing and actually running the business is just, it’s priceless because it’s all given to you and it helps you just really be able to not worry about what’s happening so much at every minute at the center, but really thinking about how you can incorporate this into the community, how you can make connections with different referral sources and provide a service that is much needed and can help people.

My life has changed dramatically. I used to commute into New York every single day, getting up at 5 o’clock in the morning, working out, taking a train in or driving in, getting home at dinner time—I would leave right at the bell—wake up and do it all again the next day. Now being a business owner, you work a lot of hours and it’s tough, but they’re your hours. You get to make the decisions of when you want to work and how hard you want to work and whether you want to have somebody work for you. You can also leave a legacy to your children. And in the meantime, the two franchises we have, they’re so rewarding. Here, we’re genuinely helping out the community and people who really need help.
