In fact, I honor their restraint and have enjoyed learning about them. I'm only pointing out the absurdity of the listings out there. You have every right to be proud of your business, and so does the owner of any franchisee who finds a way to make it work. If I came off as oversimplifying I appologize. As far as working from home, you'll never hear of a more enthusiastic advocate than I. I hope that each of you find ways to build the business into your life in a way that lets you enjoy a full spectrum of enriching activities. (watch the slide show to the right to see some the folks I hug regularly in the middle of the day.) I also escaped corporate America, btw.

It is more involved than what is stated here. Many franchisees operate their offices out of there homes, but use commercial space for refinishing. Yes, it is a small operation, but we specialize in onsite service, and frankly the profit margins are much higher there. Most of us do the work ourselves as we are a guild of craftsman. I got out of corporate America and do not want to deal with payroll, workers comp, etc. I work more now than before, but I no longer have a 2 hour comute each way. I make twice what I used to as a senior network engineer and can take an occasional afternoon off to go to my son's baseball games (try that in corporate America). I own a Weathersby Franchise.
