Here, from our archives, are some insightful responses from some of these franchisees.

What's your passion in business?
Finding new ways for supporting people and creating an environment in the organization that people love to be in. That's why I get up and do it every day.

How do you balance life and work?
I commit to being with my family in the morning and at night. And I spend as much time as I can going to my children's activities, especially on the weekends.
 Mike Hamra, multi-unit franchisee of Wendy's, Panera Bread, Noodles & Company, Holiday Inn Express

What's your passion in business?
Simply put, the ability to have a positive impact on people. To be able to provide a work environment where employees can grow and thrive in their professional and personal lives.

How do you balance life and work?
As I've matured (some may disagree), I've been able to separate or disengage for hours at a time from the business. This allows me to focus on what really matters (my family and friends).
 Angelo Freites, multi-unit franchisee of Checkers and Del Taco

What's your passion in business?
Building and developing teams, executing a plan, and looking for the next big challenge.

How do you balance life and work?
This is something I am constantly working to improve on. I am trying to be better about saving emails and calls for the next day once 7 p.m. hits.
 David Schuck, multi-unit franchisee of Liberty Tax and Club Pilates
