FRANCHISING

your family and friends are saying

to you ‘I told you that you shouldn’t

have done it, you shouldn’t have

gone into business, you should have

kept your corporate job,’ people give

up. But those franchisees that have

family and friends saying, ‘We’ll help

you, we’re here for you,’ are the ones

that get through those hard stages

and go on to do really well. So funnily

enough, one of the first things we

look at with people is what do their

family and friends think about what

they’re doing.”

Part of Wasabi Warriors success

story comes from having an advisory

board which can challenge the

status quo. Mills believes it is always

important to have people challenge

her to look at different perspectives

and find creative

solutions

to

challenges.

“I have some really

strong executives

on my team who

can get on the

job and get things

going. The key

thing is to not take

no for an answer, a

lot of people like to

say no because it’s

easier and safer.

Always finding a

way over, or around,

or under, these

challenges is really,

really important for perseverance

and determination and if need

be asking for capital to grow your

business.”

While the competition within the

marketplace has become stronger,

the sushi industry has grown too, a

very positive sign for the company

moving forward. Their long term goal

is to have Wasabi Warriors become

the #1 brand for sushi in Australia

and be internationally recognised.

One of the first

things we look at

with people is what

do their family and

friends think about

what they’re doing
