Recently I had a candidate who’d get real excited about an opportunity but the very next day it’d be inevitable that he’d contact me with something negative or what I call “stinkin’ thinkin’.” In other words, instead of seeing the glass half full, he saw it as half empty.
Franchise consultants help their candidates filter through various elements to come up with best options for their lifestyle, etc. Most people who come to the aid of a franchise consultant dream of being their own boss and all the glorious benefits of being a franchise owner.
Then reality sets in and through the assistance of their franchise consultant as they realize franchise ownership isn’t perfect and there is actually work involved – a lot of work. Entrepreneurs have a different mindset and they realize nothing in this world is perfect so they focus on the glass being half full versus half empty.
For those who see the glass half empty, they typically go back to their W2 jobs or 1099 commission jobs and continue to complain to their co-workers and family members about what’s wrong with the “system” at work and how they wish they could escape. If the truth be told, the only escape they need is from their own mindset of “stinkin’ thinkin’”!
Perhaps franchise consulting could be in your future. Do you like helping people make good decisions and investments? If so, we should talk. And yes, it’s true, franchise consulting is a flexible work-from-home business.
