Start with a New Vision: Embrace Business Ownership in 2024
It’s no secret that the beginning of the year is traditionally a time of reflecting on what worked and didn’t work in the previous year and where we want to make new plans and adjustments for the new one. Unfortunately, six months into 2024, layoffs are still happening, and company loyalty is proving to be an empty promise.
It may be time to think about the dreams you put on the shelf when you thought your current role would be enough to deliver what you wanted. It’s time to bring those dreams back into focus and explore intentionally the exciting opportunities that await.
Could 2024 be the year to flip the script on your career choice and take the first step toward business ownership?
As someone who decided to use franchising to break from corporate several years ago, I can tell you from firsthand experience why franchising is the best approach to own a business and leave corporate for good.
1. Nobody starts from zero!
Franchisors will give you everything you need in training, marketing support, and sales help. While each concept and company are different, a franchise is basically a business in a box ready for you! All you have to do is invest the money, your time and go!
2. Ongoing Support
When you invest in a franchise concept, the franchisor will train you to have all the information you need and help you find an ideal location if you’ve invested in an idea that requires a physical space. Even better, this initial help and support doesn’t stop once you get your business up and running. It continues for as long as you own your business, allowing you to go further faster!
3. You get to talk to current franchisees.
This opportunity does not exist anywhere else. Speaking with past and existing franchisees lets you know exactly what you’re getting into to determine if it’s a right fit for you BEFORE committing to anything or spending any money.
4. The end results.
Most people own a business with goal of selling it for a profit. When you decide to sell your business the franchisor is also there to help. When that day comes, the person who comes to purchase your business from you will get all these same benefits from the franchisor. They will handle the onboarding, training, and support, so you don’t have to.
If this is the year that you finally decide to learn more about the world of franchising and business ownership, I would love to help. Put some time on my calendar for a quick call to find the answers you need.
