In the final rush before Christmas, most of the focus is on getting things done before year end. There’s always so much to do and so little time!
But it’s also a great time to start asking the bigger questions about what you want to achieve in life. You can come back to these over the holidays, but you might like to start thinking about them now:
Do you want to run your own business?
Do you want to have control over your future?
Do you want to have more choice about your lifestyle?
Do you want to build something for yourself and your family?
Running your own business gives you the opportunity to answer “yes” to these questions.
It can give you an incredible sense of achievement and pride in building something of value. No one says it will be easy, but if you’re up for the challenge, it can be one of the most gratifying experiences of your life!
Buying a franchise can be a great way to get into business. It allows you to learn how to run a business and how it all works. At the same time, you will be part of a network of like-minded business owners who are using a system that is tried and tested.
I like the franchise model because your franchisor has figured it out already. They have developed the brand, the systems, the processes, the training, the branding and the marketing. A good franchise will have developed a full program to help you develop your business from the ground up. It’s in everyone’s interest to make this work.
The franchisor is interested in your success because your success is their success. It’s in their interest to support you to build your business and grow your sales and your profits. And it’s in your interest to build your business as it gives you a greater income, a business that is not dependent on you and the ability to be in charge of your destiny!
However, as with any investment, there is a level of risk. So, be sure to get the numbers checked out by a franchise accountant before you commit.
That’s where we come in. We have reviewed over 140 different franchise brands and know what to look out for.
Feel free to contact me to discuss further.
