“If you want to go fast, go by yourself. If you want to go far, go with a team” is a quote from Mike Halpern a CFC (Certified Franchise Consultant) with FranServe, Inc. Mike is absolutely right.

Yet, think about relays in running and swimming. It’s a sense of pace and teamwork that only one can achieve in a collective team atmosphere. By Don Clayton
