When asked about the resources Amber wished she had when starting her company, she mentioned the ongoing challenge of ensuring that she has the right people in the right positions within her company. She admitted that in the past, she made the mistake of believing people based solely on what they say about their skills and abilities.

Amber emphasized the importance of looking beyond resumes and focusing on the true skills and qualities that her employees possess. She shared an example of hiring a billing manager who didn't have prior experience in that specific role but had the determination, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail necessary to excel in the position.

As someone who has grown within the company, Leigh has faced his fair share of challenges. One of the most surprising aspects for him was the different interpretations and perspectives among owners, managers, and employees. He emphasized the importance of understanding each situation and working together to find solutions.

Leigh shared how Bishop's Cuts in Color has taken steps to be a supportive and non-predatory franchise system. They have implemented a bucketed royalty system, where stores that require less support from the company pay lower royalties. This approach aligns with the owners' perspective that if they are running a well-oiled machine, they shouldn't have to pay the full amount.

The company has also repositioned its contracts to align with lease agreements, allowing franchisees to exit the system or make changes at the end of the term. However, 75% of their franchisees have chosen to renew their agreements due to the support provided by the company.

Brian's journey to founding Excelsior Capital is an interesting one. As a recovering attorney, he was motivated to escape the negative aspects of the legal profession. The potential tax advantages and value creation opportunities in real estate inspired him to leap into this industry.

Brian described their target audience as professionals. He also shared the challenges faced by CEOs and entrepreneurs in running their businesses. Many CEOs start with a good idea or skill but struggle with wearing multiple hats and lacking experience in leadership, payroll management, and invoicing. This often leads to feeling overwhelmed and being the biggest employee in their own company. Brian emphasized the importance of transitioning from working in the business to working on the business to scale and succeed.
