Hi my name is Sarah, I'm 31 and since my early 20s I have started and failed in 3 businesses. After each failure I have learned a lot and got out of the rut that followed in less time. I'm now working on my 4th business, I bought a 25 yr old restaurant that has a unique style and an amazing reputation. It gets loyal customers from hours away but the owners are old and have a run down place and no socials or advertising. I'm looking to turn things around, systemize and franchise. I used all my money to buy the place and do some renovations on the major stuff (needs a lot of work still) but I'm betting this time things will soar. I have 2 baby girls and they are my fuel ⛽️ I want to live a life at home with my girls and be there for them. I was raised mainly by other caretakers then by myself since around 10 because my parents worked so much and they were never there for me.
