It’s My 8 Year Anniversary 🎂

Hi Family! 

Happy Thanksgiving Week :)  📌 8 Years Since I quit my job.

Eight years ago, I quit my fancy Board of Health job and I bought my first franchise:

a Kumon Math & Reading center.

No trust fund. No investors.

Just vibes, grit, and a dream to not be stuck behind a desk or listening to incompetent supervisors 😌💪

I didn’t know if it would work… but I knew one thing:

✨ If I’m going to work hard, it better be for something I own.

Becoming a franchise owner didn’t just give me income

It taught me systems, leadership, payroll, marketing, hiring, firing, and how to not cry on the bathroom floor during tax season 😅 True Story 

And today?

That one decision became the engine behind everything else:

🚪 Multifamily real estate

📈 Options trading

💸 Our soon to launch private credit fund

🙋‍♀️ Empowering women to OWN wealth, not just work for it

&& the dream goes on …

💡 The Real Wealth Hack Nobody Talks About

Everybody wants real estate.

Everybody wants “passive income.”

Everybody wants to be the “boss.”

But it cost to be the boss 🥹😭

AND before you scale big investments, you need something most people skip:

💵 A cash-flow machine.

Not a risky startup.

Not “I hope this goes viral.”

But something proven to win, with data, brand awareness, and marketing baked in.

That’s what a franchise is.

It’s not sexy.

It’s not trending on TikTok.

But it prints once you learn the system.

🧠 Why Kumon Worked For Me

It wasn’t luck. It was:

🔹 A proven business model

🔹 National brand recognition

🔹 Demand that already existed

🔹 I just had to execute the playbook

Franchising is the opposite of guessing.

You’re literally paying to skip the trial & error era.

(And no shade, but that era is expensive af 😂)

📍 3 Tangible Gems If You’re Thinking About Franchising

So YES…

Every event detail.
Every sign, digital asset, playlist, email.
Everything was curated with love and intention.

🔸Pick something you understand, not just something “popular.”

If you don’t understand it, you can’t manage it.

🔸 Brand recognition > attempting to be a marketing genius from scratch.

National marketing = local trust + faster cash flow.

🔸 Don’t chase “passive,” chase systems.

Nothing is passive until systems run without you.

Systems first → Outsource later → THEN you breathe. 

YOUR MONEY SHOULD WORK.

NOT JUST YOU.

🧃 Closing Thought

Franchising taught me something school could never 👎🏽 

👑 Wealth isn’t earned. It’s owned.

I didn’t wait for the “perfect time.”

I chose the proven model.

I ran the play.

And it opened every door after.

Here’s to 8 years of building engines that fund freedom.

Here’s to year ✨9✨ being even bigger.

Let’s keep building,

Anan 😘
