Glory

Glory is relative. In the case of a fast food franchise owner, glory comes with having the reputation for the best grub in the neighborhood or the cleanest restrooms around, with two-ply toilet paper and everything. It's not on the same level as winning March Madness, but it's something.

Odds are, the people you'll be helping out are yourself and your employees, who are relying on your savvy business skills to make this place a success.

Your employees will be putting their trust in you. So will the company whose fancy brand name you forked over the cold hard cash for. Knowing that people trust you, and knowing that you aren't letting them down, is a powerful thing.
