With 30 years of franchise ownership Frances now looks in her rearview mirror to reflect on how much she didn't know when she took on the purchase of a franchise business with its deep trove of do's & dont's. She credits her father, who owned and operated a half dozen businesses having achieved only an 8th grade education in the Mississippi of the 1930s, but determined to provide his family the best quality of life he could along with access to higher education. Later in life, her dad, and then her four siblings faced life threatening illnesses and disabilities. Without the flexibility she was allowed as her "own boss" she shares "we would have all gone down; me included".
