If you don't mind me asking, is it a money issue that you can't get at least a flightsuit?
The equipment I can understand about, it can be costly whether you buy it from GBI or just buy the parts and build it yourself.
Now getting other younger GBs for your franchise..well only suggestions I have is that you put together like a promotional flyer and/or site letting people know you're hiring. You are young, (nothing personal) I was about 15 when I was on the internet and remember well how ‘dangerous’ meeting friends you thought you knew better was. Plus maybe for the same reasons, your parents might not be keen on this idea.
Or a better one might be if you know people from school or friends from other hobbies/interests of yours, you could talk to them about GBs and the idea of the franchise. Just got from there.
Sorry Vego if I've already butted in, just would like you to succeed in the franchise area. And remember to study. “No studying.”
