Letter from the Editor This issue, we are talking to women who are killing it in the franchise world. In our “She is Successful” issue, we interview three women who are growing their franchising businesses and who have all overcome struggles and setbacks to make their dreams a reality. While each defines success differently, one common trait they share is determination. They all demonstrate a “never-give-up” attitude that leaves no room for doubt or failure. We can’t wait for you to learn more about Laura Spaulding of Spaulding Decon, Carolyn Thurston of Wisdom Senior Care and Laurie Spivack of Goodbye Graffiti. We also have another big announcement! I have partnered in The Franchise Woman Magazine with Rebecca Monet of Zorakle Profiles. As co-publishers, we have a goal of creating a community of women in the franchising space who support each other and provide mentorship, resources and tools to empower each other to grow and thrive. As an independent magazine, The Franchise Woman welcomes anyone who has something to offer to our female audience. We welcome all brands and make every effort to present stories that delve into the hearts of women across the industry. We also have our usual marketing tips, legal tools and business trends, so check out our contributors’ articles. As we are still navigating an unusual time in the world, we so appreciate their willingness to participate in the magazine. Our podcast, Where Passion and Purpose Collides, hosted by Rebecca Monet and me, has debuted to great reviews! We are committed to providing great stories and discussion through the podcast, and we look forward to expanding our community of women.. We salute our Franchise Women for using their time, talents and treasures to make the world a better place. If you have a great story, please reach out. We can’t wait to meet you! Fiercely,
Elizabeth Denham Publisher/Editor in Chief
