You’re on the fence; it’s a safe, yet complicated place to be. But you’re not ready to make a decision about business ownership. We get that. Staying on the fence allows you the safety. You don’t have to take the plunge, you don’t have to make any big life changes, but yet you’re not yet giving up on the dream. It’s still out there as a one day possibility. Eventually, you think, you can become a franchisee … just not today.
The problem with this thinking, however, is that in perpetually puts off your goals. You’re never achieving them because they’re always out there, somewhere in the distance. But what’s the point of having goals you never go after? They can’t be a safety net if they’re never put into place, and if you never have intentions of moving forward, you’re essentially wasting time and energy looking toward goals that will never actually come to fruition.
But what are you waiting for? Putting your dream job into the next gear and actually going after it – it’s a move you deserve. No one should have to settle in a career they dislike or that’s making due for now … you owe it to yourself to find (or create!) the job you’ve always wanted all along.
Why You Deserve to Own Your Own Business
You work hard. For years, if not decades, you’ve put hard work and endless hours into your professional life. Sure you’ve gotten steady paychecks, benefits, and perhaps even more perks out of the setup, but is it fulfilling? Or is it just a fallback that became comfortable? And now you feel as though you’re in too deep to do anything else.
This is normal; we call it a rut. Get out of said rut by letting yourself know there’s more to your career. You shouldn’t be forced to work a job that’s just getting you by. You should find the one you’ve wanted and the one that will make you happy.
Franchising offers an incredible sense of accomplishment and freedom. You are in charge of your own destiny, your own career. You put dollars back into the community, you create jobs for others. You provide a need, whether a product or service, to the masses, and ensure they are taken care of. All of this and more creates repeat business and a forward momentum that brings shoppers back. And it helps your profits to grow. Or in other words, it’s how you find success.
There is no greater feeling than the one of a self-made career. It’s that feeling you were striving for all along!
Be proud of what you’ve created with your franchise. Put your best skills to work and learn some as you go. Hire and teach others those same skills, and give back to your community. Oh, and all while you’re earning a paycheck for yourself and others – it’s an ongoing situation of growth of which you can be infinitely proud!
Receiving Ongoing Benefits as a Franchisee
The best part about franchise ownership is that it’s not a one-time event. You get to keep working your thriving career – and reaping the benefits – on an ongoing basis. You get to be in charge of your own income, you get to build your empire, and you get to be proud of the brand you brought to live in your community.
Don’t discount those incredible benefits to franchising. It might be a journey to get there, but it’s one that’s more than worth the final outcome. Whether you choose to own and operate a single location, or branch out into multiple locations with managers and an empire of employees, you can create the best franchising fit to your wants and career preferences.
No one should be stuck in a career they don’t love. Especially when they have aspirations to become a franchisee. Stop giving into your own excuses and put your new career at the forefront of your aspirations. A little time and effort invested into yourself will pay off (and then some). It’s a feeling and a reality you’ve deserved to live in all along.
