Making bagels is sort of like practicing law. At least, it is according to lawyer and full-time “bagel consultant” Beth George.
The 57-year-old is the mastermind behind Fair Lawn, N.J.–based BYOB Bagels (the acronym is for both “Build Your Own Business” and “Be Your Own Boss”), a bagel-focused consulting firm that has helped open more than 60 bagel shops across five continents.
