Nancy Erickson never thought she would wind up in franchising.&nbsp;She grew up in Gates Mills, OH, just outside of Cleveland and&nbsp;went to Kenyon College for two years.&nbsp;She&nbsp;took herself to warmer weather for her last two years of college at Florida International University and&nbsp;completed her education at Barry University, getting her masters in Human Resources.

Nancy&rsquo;s professional background varies.&nbsp;She was trained as a hydrogeologist, but also has a background in financial services and real estate.&nbsp;She has her PHR in human resources and has her Pilates certification.&nbsp;It wasn&rsquo;t until Entrepreneur-Source approached her that Nancy considered franchising as a possibility.&nbsp;Her husband told her to consider <a href="http://arcpointlabsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-voices-nancy-erickson-of-arcpoint-labs-7526" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ARCpoint Labs</a>, and it soon became a reality. &nbsp;

Nancy has future plans to develop throughout the Manatee County, but first she wants to get her first store off the ground with some of corporate&rsquo;s new products.&nbsp;

What was your first job ever?&nbsp;

It was way before high school when&nbsp;I used to babysit.&nbsp;After that I was sweeping the clay tennis courts at the country club.&nbsp;My mom never let us sit and do nothing.&nbsp;I used to also cut grass around the neighborhood and I would weed.&nbsp;I was special around the neighborhood because the boys didn&rsquo;t know how to weed.

Why did you choose to become a franchisee with ARCpoint? How did you learn about the brand? 

I went to a job fair in 2010 and there were no jobs in Sarasota.&nbsp;I met someone from Entrepreneur-Source who introduced me to ARCpoint because I had my health, life, and annuity licenses. My husband said to keep an open mind and to consider it!

What were your perceptions of franchising before starting the process?

That is was something I would never do and it was nothing on my radar.&nbsp;I didn&rsquo;t have perceptions because I didn&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;d do it.

What&rsquo;s next for you and your business? Do you have any development or&nbsp;expansion plans with the brand? 

Corporate has come out with a lot of products and I am hoping to get some of those off the ground.&nbsp; Eventually, I&rsquo;d like to open another office in my other territory in Manatee County.&nbsp;Right now I live three minutes from the office, so it makes it nice for the weekends and evening hours.
