Entrepreneur Magazine: Want to Be a Successful Franchisee? Learn How to Rebound From Failure.

In February of this year, Beau Reed decided to join the Mosquito Joe team, opening up a location in Jonesboro, Ark. He was drawn to the brand because it gave him the flexibility to coach his son’s baseball team while running a business.He said that Mosquito Joe was a “natural fit” for him and his desire to have a healthy work-life balance.

Not only has it given him the flexible lifestyle he wanted, it hasn’t broken the bank.

In his interview with Entrepreneur Magazine, Reed explained that his start-up cost with the brand was only $20,000.

Since February, Reed has had great success, and credits much of that to his time in baseball because it taught him about teamwork and “grit.” He realized that, like in baseball, failure is a part of the business world, and the most important thing is to keep persevering.

Reed plans to grow his business to continue to help players and fans have a healthier and more enjoyable baseball season.
