Episode 17: David Sauer, Entrepreneur/Creator of Jobs

What are the benefits of buying a franchise, as opposed to starting a business from scratch? David Sauer has worked for big name companies like GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, IBM, and SAP, but always wanted to run his own business. We discuss what he learned from working in corporate America and serving in the Navy Reserve, and what it's been like to run every piece of his new business.

If you’ve dreamed of starting and operating your own business, have you considered buying a franchise? I’ve learned from David that it may offer many resources--like connections to the manufacturer, training and guidance--one doesn’t get when starting from scratch.
