Take a second to reflect on your professional life. Are you meeting the professional goals you set for yourself? Are you satisfied with your career? Or are you merely stewing that they haven’t been met?
If you’re feeling unsatisfied, it doesn’t mean you have to stay that way. Reflect on the following traits. If these apply to you, you may be a great candidate for owning a franchise. It may just be the thing you need to feel satisfied with your career.
You want your freedom.
Do you wish you could be your own boss? Maybe control your day more? There can be no denying that the “freedom” factor is a major reason why people are attracted to franchises. Maybe you’re sick of not being able to chart your own career path. Or you need the flexibility to combine work and family time. Either way, a franchise can definitely free you to do the things in life you want to!
You want more money.
Sure, money is important to most people. But maybe you’re the kind of person willing to work harder for more money. But maybe that sort of opportunity isn’t available in your present job. The revenue from franchises, on the other hand, accounts for over one-third of all U.S. retail sales. Why not grab a piece of that for yourself?
You want a sense of purpose.
Maybe money isn’t the only thing you want, however. If you’re finding yourself not satisfied with your current job, despite the salary, this could be another sign to look into franchising. So many salaried jobs today can be soul-draining. You long for something that allows you to pursue your dreams, do something meaningful or maybe make a difference in the lives of others. Whatever your sense of purpose, a franchise might just allow you to achieve it!
You have the drive.
Owning a franchise can be difficult at times. But if you have the drive to make things happen and work hard, you might be in the right headspace. If you think night and day of ways to run your small business and make it better, or if you are constantly looking to solve problems, you may have the drive needed for a franchie. Applied to a franchise, that drive may quickly become a sustainable enterprise.
You have a plan.
Do you like having a plan of action? Unlike many other business ventures, franchises offer a plan, structure and proven methods of money-making. It’s much less risky than starting your own business from scratch. Franchises can help set the groundwork for a successful business and offer expert advisory services to support you along the way. You’ll still have lots of room to grow and develop as you choose, but following their initial plan can really set you up for success!
You like taking risks.
Employees are often risk-averse and for good reason. To an employee, taking risks does not necessarily bring rewards. In fact, the opposite is often true. Taking risks may endanger the status quo, and depending on the company atmosphere, could get the former fired. Leaders, on the other hand, empower themselves to take risks and know that sometimes, failure is just another cost of doing business.
Did you answer yes to some or most of these questions? That might mean you’d be an excellent candidate for a franchise. You have the drive, motivation, and skillset that would make you a great leader.
