An article appeared from Reuters on Thursday about franchising picking up in the US and the first example that they gave is Robert and Dayna Penney: “(Reuters) – Robert Penney has seen his financial future and it involves heaps of frozen yogurt. Penney and his wife, Dayna, purchased a Menchie’s […]
If I had known that I was going to fail so many times in my life, I would have kept track. Maybe I could be setting some record. The P90X test version was first marketed in 2005 and bombed. Even people at Beachbody said that the project should be abandoned. […]
