Instilling inspiration so they can inspire others…… I have to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to Lauren Whitaker-Ajayi our Senior Manager of Operations, who just delivered one of the most impressive displays of leadership I’ve ever seen. We faced unexpected challenges when the storm hit, throwing our entire plan into chaos for the Amazing Lash Studio intensive coaching this week. Lauren had to step in solo, handling everything last minute. It was one of those moments where real leadership is tested—and she absolutely delivered. What makes this even more special is that Lauren didn’t just get through it—she thrived. She ensured our franchisees felt supported, heard, and empowered despite the chaos. This is what servant leadership looks like—putting others first and elevating the team when they need it most. The feedback from our franchise partners says it all: •The visit gave us the exact tools and direction we needed. We left feeling confident and prepared to take our studio to the next level. •They didn’t just talk leadership—they equipped us with the practical tools to make immediate improvements in our day-to-day operations. •The guidance helped us streamline our processes. We now have the clarity and structure to run our studio more efficiently. •The visit brought a new energy to the team. We not only received valuable tools but also the confidence to use them effectively. •We were empowered with the right strategies and insights to overcome challenges and grow. It’s clear Amazing Lash Studio is invested in our success. Lauren, thank you for showing us what real leadership is all about—lifting up those around you, especially when things get tough. You didn’t just handle it; you owned it. Your dedication is inspiring, and we’re beyond grateful to have you at WellBiz Brands, Inc. #ServantLeadership #Teamwork #AmazingLashStudio #LeadershipInAction #OperationalExcellence #ElevatingOthers

We'd like to give a big shoutout to our VP of Franchise Development, Erin Snyder, who recently wrapped up an insightful session with fellow industry leaders about how to optimize the business model to generate leads at the Franchise Leadership & Development Conference in Atlanta. As consumer preferences evolve, technology advances, operations shift, and competition intensifies, here are some key takeaways from our discussion: 1. Streamline operations by simplifying processes while staying flexible to meet community needs. 2. Scale with purpose and build a model that's easy to replicate and grow. 3. Drive franchise success with an optimized business model, which makes the value of your franchise clear and attractive. 4. Stay true to who you are and maintain a strong brand identity.

To any prospective franchisee, I can’t stress enough the importance of finding a brand that fits you culturally and one where you believe and trusts in the vision of leadership. Chasing ROI potential without any regard to this is not a good idea. It’s all about the FIT. What may be a fit to one person is nowhere near a fit to another. In our process, perhaps one of the most important steps is something that is termed “Confirmation Day” , “Discovery Day” or “Meet The Team” depending upon the franchisor. It’s a time where candidates will travel to the franchisor HQ and get the opportunity to meet the leadership in person for 2 days to really get the “feel” of the brand and it’s culture in a much better way than they do at earlier stages. They get in-depth dives from each department head supporting them, the executives and usually the founder and also get to break bread with them as well as other prospective franchisees. The relationships built and strengthened here contribute to a lot of the franchisee’s success.
