Q: When did you become interested in a BlueGrace Franchise and how did you find out about it? A: I was so excited back in 2011 when President and CEO, Bobby Harris decided to franchise BlueGrace. I had known Bobby from a previous freight job and I found it to be a fascinating segment of the shipping industry. When Bobby started Blue Grace as a freight franchise system, I was immediately interested in focusing my business efforts solely on freight.
Q: What has helped make your business successful? I have found having good employees is the primary thing that has helped me be successful. My employees treat every customer like they are important. We have a great retention rate of our customers because they know we will work smarter and harder for them than other logistics companies.
Q: What challenges have you overcome to be successful? A: I would say, my only challenge of being a franchise owner would be not having enough hours in the day.
Q: How have you juggled having a family and flourishing business? A: Instead of beating myself up over the fact that I can't give 100% to both my business and my family, I look for ways to be more efficient. It can be hard juggling family life and a business, but these years with kids at home are short and I feel lucky every day that I have control over where I devote my time. When I decided I needed to spend more time with my children after school with homework and activities, I hired an additional person in the office, which eased up some of my office workload.
Q: What is your greatest success as a Blue-Grace Franchise Owner? A: The joy that I feel in coming to work every day. I enjoy all of my employees and I get to work with amazing customers and freight companies.
