Thus, we started looking for something much more attractive — we call her 2021.</p><p>Now, we know it’s not going to be easy and there is no guarantee that 2021 is better than you — but we like our chances.</p><p>You see, we are looking for the long-term, and we're even OK with distance (working from home has taught us a lot).</p><p>So, 2020, goodbye, goodnight, forever.</p><p>The big idea is 2021 — and propelling the growth of amazing relationships with awesome businesses and entrepreneurs.</p><h2>News You Can (Actually) Use</h2><p>It’s completely, 200%, time to flip the switch. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=franchisee&amp%3Bsource=lnms&amp%3Btbm=nws&amp%3Bsa=X&amp%3Bved=2ahUKEwjU-_G-ttDtAhWIGFkFHYmQCuYQ_AUoAXoECAMQAw&amp%3Bbiw=1329&amp%3Bbih=577&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-its-the-end-of-the-year-so-here-are-our-lists-2714540" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u>Google “franchisee” and the news is annoying</u></a>.</p><p>Start telling the great stories of your franchisees.
