We recently created an image for our Facebook account using this quote from George Eliot: “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.”
The quote is incredibly inspirational, and it got me thinking—you really can make a career change at any point. You aren’t limited by age, how many years you’ve been working, how quickly retirement is coming up or any other factor.
Here at FranServe, we’re in the business of changing lives. Is it time to change yours? Read on for some perspective!
Are You Ready to Become a Franchisee?
Wondering whether the time is right to step out of your 9 to 5 job and into the world of franchising? See if you check off these boxes:
You want to be your own boss.
First things first, do you thrive as a leader? Are you tired of being led by others and want to carve out your own space?
To be successful as a franchisee, you need to have a desire to lead your own team. To take the reins of a national brand in a specific location and maintain its reputation and quality.
You want the freedom of a business, but the support of a system.
Did you know that franchises are much more successful than other small businesses? You might wonder why that is, but it’s pretty easy to explain.
When you open a small business from scratch, you are starting from zero. You have to build a brand, a reputation and sometimes even a market. When you operate a franchise, on the other hand, you start from a successful blueprint. That can make a big difference!
You’re a doer, but not so much an innovator.
Honestly, franchising has space for doers, innovators—and everyone in between! But if you’re more of a logistics person than a creative, that’s OK.
When you’re working with a franchise organization, many of the “big picture” decisions about the brand and its product or services are determined at the corporate level and carried out by individual locations. It can truly be the best of both worlds.
