The Company:  Just Between Friends Franchise System/Shine Executive Coaching

1851 Franchise talked with Shannon Wilburn, co-founder of Just Between Friends Franchise System and founder of Shine Executive Coaching, about her journey in franchising, her accomplishments in the industry and the strategies she suggests for franchisors looking to empower and support female franchisees this year.

“When we understand who we are as a person, and where our strengths lie, we can forgive our weaknesses,” said Wilburn. “And all of us have strengths and all of us have weaknesses. So I would like to encourage people to have some self-awareness around where your strengths are, and move towards those. And hire your weaknesses.”
