The timing will never be perfect to start a business.
I often tell my clients that if they look for reasons not to do it, the reasons will be easy to find.
Recently, I've had several clients who were looking at franchises pre-covid and the pandemic made them nervous to jump into a franchise.
They felt the safer path was to stay in their job and wait until things returned to normal.
Nearly four years later and a few of these clients have gone through multiple layoffs in those "safe" jobs or stable careers and are now back to exploring franchise opportunities with a new perspective.
Many of the people I work with say they wish they would have done this sooner in their career after they have moved forward with a franchise but it's never too late to start.
Working through the fear and the nerves that come with any big change can be the hardest part.

What drives people to explore franchise opportunities?
Right now, I am seeing a lot of people who have gone through recent layoffs or have seen large layoffs in their companies start to explore alternative career paths that allow them to have more control.
Some of these people have gone through multiple layoffs over the past several years (I'm looking at you tech industry!) and don't want to search for another new job that might lay them off a year from now.
Some of these people have been long-term employees in companies that have been acquired and have been struggling to find a new position due to seniority level or age.
Many of these people have always liked the idea of owning their own business or being their own boss but never knew where to start.
Franchising is a path that allows them to accomplish those goals without having to reinvent the wheel or design all of the systems and processes from scratch.
They can take their existing skillsets, work ethic, motivation and capital and plug into a system that allows them to focus their energy on execution of proven systems and processes.
If you find yourself in a situation where you want more control of your outcomes, more flexibility of your time, direct ownership of your results and income, franchise ownership might be worth exploring.
For questions on franchising or to confidentially discuss whether franchise ownership might make sense for you, send me a DM to schedule a no-cost, no-obligation consultation. You might be surprised with what you learn.

Are constant layoffs, limited growth, and unappreciated efforts making you question your corporate career?
Job insecurity and stagnant careers can take a toll on anyone. Countless times, we heard stories of dedicated employees putting in blood, sweat, and tears, only to be cast aside in a heartbeat due to restructuring or the whims of upper management.

Becoming a franchise owner isn't a walk in the park, but the rewards are immeasurable. Picture yourself calling the shots, setting your own schedule, and reaping the fruits of your own labor. Imagine the pride of building a thriving business that makes a real difference in your community. But it's not just about work. That's the beauty of franchising. It can offer you the flexibility to prioritize what matters most to you, like spending precious time with family, pursuing your hobbies, or giving back to causes you care about. All while owning and operating a successful business. That's the life franchising can offer.

When you research franchises, who are they looking for?
Someone with a great resume, degree, and tons of business skills?
Or someone who is personable, follows a system, and they believe will represent their brand effectively?
They want the best of the best!

A lot of people that I speak with see business ownership as a risk and want to focus on the safe route, which in their minds is the traditional W2 job.
How safe is that W2 job though?
Tech companies laid off around 30,000 employees in January alone and every day there are new articles rolling out about more layoffs.
I am speaking to people every week who have been out of work for months and are continuing the job application process with no luck.
Now, I'm not here to tell you that business ownership is risk-free, because it isn't but there are ways to mitigate that risk, especially in the world of franchising.
What if you were to launch a business that had proven systems and processes already established, extensive training programs to show you how to be successful in the business, plug-and-play marketing systems for customer lead generation, financial information from others running the exact same business model and a built-in network of other entrepreneurs?
This is what you will find in many franchise opportunities!
There is going to be risk in anything but when you own your own business, you're in control of your own outcomes.

In 1998, Van Ingram hired me to work in franchising for Valvoline Inc. I didn't want to leave Atlanta, and I didn't know much about franchising, but Van convinced me that moving back to Kentucky would be worth it. He was right. He sparked an interest that has stuck with me for 25 years!
A few years later, William (Bill) Edwards, CFE hired me to work for AlphaGraphics. I nearly tanked the deal by trying to negotiate a higher salary that was beyond my experience.
Less than a year later, the company relocated from Tucson to Salt Lake City. As you may know, the weather in those two places is *slightly* different.
Later, Keith Gerson became my boss at AlphaGraphics. He held me accountable, and I didn't like it. I thought about leaving (sorry, Keith!). But I didn't, because deep down I knew that I needed that accountability at that stage of my career, and that I would benefit from working with Keith.
Four years later, I was recruited to help 1-800 WATER DAMAGE launch their franchise development operation, requiring a move to Seattle.
In 2008, Allen Hager hired me to take over his franchise development team at Right at Home. It was a great opportunity, but it required moving to Omaha just a few months after my son was born.
None of these opportunities was perfect. In some cases, the compensation or the timing wasn't quite right. In others, I was hesitant about the move.
But the common theme is that with each decision, my career advanced forward in the direction I wanted to go.
The key message is this…
If you're thinking about a career change, don't wait for everything to be perfect. If the opportunity moves your career forward in the direction that you want to go, seize the day and go for it!
