## Story

1851 Franchise talked to Wes Barefoot about how prospective franchisees should define their goals, take advantage of franchise resources and be able to play a part in helping other people get into business for themselves.

“Winning is people that work with me feeling like it was a good investment of their time, regardless of the outcome,” said Barefoot. “I know full well that not everyone I speak with is going to end up owning a franchise, and that's perfectly fine. For some people, in working with me, they get a realistic understanding of what franchise ownership is and what's going to be required of them to be successful.”
