While most of us know about franchising, very few actually really know it. What’s the difference between opening your own business and staring a franchise? And is it an alternative to continually looking for a job?

Franchising is not for everybody, but it is something that everybody in transition should think about. We will focus on finding the right fit, the risks involved in starting your own business, how much money you need to invest and where you will get the money. You will also learn about your commitment to the franchise and the franchise’s commitment to you. This is designed to be thought-provoking, informative and comforting as we explore good realistic alternatives in our search for brighter days in our career and life journey.

The Magic of 5 Minutes

Learn the basics of meditation to gain a deeper awareness of self, and use this awareness to lead a more successful job search.

Change isn't always easy. It can be downright uncomfortable and many times difficult. However, change is the only constant in life.

• How do we stay balanced during turbulent times?
• How do we stay calm during uncertainty?
• How do we adjust to change without the anxiety that often comes with it?
• When we know better we do better!

The Magic of 5 Minutes is the practice of keeping our balance and calm during challenging times.

Attitude is EVERYTHING! Miniimah Saafir is the proud mother of 3. She loves meeting people and making ‘New Connections’, traveling and helping others discover the unique ‘Something Beautiful’ within.

Although today you rarely catch her without her signature smile, it took many years for Miniimah to live in the joy she now finds in every day! You can read about how she overcame anxiety, depression and PTSD in her recently published, first book, The Breakthrough.
