Hi Brian,

Thank you for the book and inspiration!

I got a bunch of questions:

  1. When you were choosing to go to 3 other industries/brands, did you do a research on competition and market size, trends, etc, etc, or it was mostly like: let's do it better than competitors and we will succeed?

  2. If a company like Dwyer will offer you to buy one of the businesses (let's say WOW1DAY painting) at a good valuation, would you be willing to sell? (I know in your book you mentioned that you decided not to sell 1-800-GOT-JUNK to WM, anything changed in your strategy)?

Thank you!

Few more:
1. How many hours a day/week do you work? And how many hours are intense, when you need to focus a lot and make decisions.
2. Do you think running a franchisor business is easier on the family (well-rounded life) vs having a huge corporation with lots of locations?
