Cho’s Advice- Do your homework. “Find out all you can about the company. Talk to current and past franchisees.”
- Lose the 9-to-5. “You have to eat, sleep and drink your business. It’s truly a lifestyle, make sure you enjoy it.”
- Find mentors. “Just like you bonded with those who had been successful in the military, you should do the same in the business world. Find someone who is currently where you want to be.”
