What makes Debbie particularly special is that she brings 30 years of experience as a registered nurse! Thats three decades of knowledge, experience, caring for people and dealing with all sorts of situations.

Being a business owner can be a very lonely journey. One of the most rewarding parts of my job as a franchisor isn't always about business advice, systems or growing revenue. Sometimes it's simply about picking up the pieces when a franchisee is having a difficult day. We all have those moments when nothing seems to go right, confidence drops and we question our decisions.

They hide their mistakes, avoid difficult conversations and sometimes even blame everyone else. Meanwhile, the problems are getting bigger and bigger. And the funny thing is, the amount of energy they spend covering things up could probably have solved the problem three times over!

I wrote this book because, through my years of building businesses and becoming a franchisor, I’ve realised that having enough money to start a business and having the right mindset about money are two very different things. Business ownership changes your relationship with money.
