Do You Know What You’re Good At?

In the guest chair:

With Leslie Kuban

Franchise expert and regulator contributor, Leslie Kuban, from Frannet joined us in the studio today to talk about knowing yourself and what you’ll like and be good at.

Frannet has a test called the Proven Match Technology that helps people narrow down what kind of business is right for them and Leslie talked about how and why it works.

She also mentioned that listeners of The Dana Barrett Show can access the test at no charge by contacting Leslie directly for a private link!

In the headlines:

• The King & Queen buildings may go on the market again and could get the highest price ever paid for an Atlanta area office complex.
• The Atlanta Civic Center may not me closing but moving – forcing me to ponder, once again, what a civic center really is and why Atlanta needs one?
