You’re probably thinking, I don’t have the skills to run a franchise. I’ve been in corporate all my life. Well, I’m here to tell you that I bet you can.
Leveraging Your Corporate Skills
We’ve worked with over 2000 people and running a franchise is about applying the accumulative skills that you’ve learned in a different environment with the support, coaching, and training of the franchisor with their systems and processes.
If you’ve led people before, managed processes or developed a specialized skill, then there’s likely a franchise out there for you.
Aligning Skills, Passions, and Goals
The question is, which franchise? As you look at figuring that out, there’s a couple of things that you want to look at. What are the skills that you’ve developed? What are the things you’re really good at and really love to do? If you could say “Gary, if I could do “blank” in my new business, that would be awesome.”
Just as importantly, what is the work you dislike doing or have outgrown? Because if the core functions of the business are something you don’t like doing, guess what? It’s going to slide off your plate, and that’s probably going to lead to mediocrity or even failure.
The third part is, what do you want to achieve through business ownership that you’ve not yet been able to achieve? What are your why’s? And as you build those, what are all the different elements?
Taking the Next Step
That’s where we look at helping you find where the best place to utilize your skills are with the right support of the franchisor. I’ve worked with thousands of people to help them on this journey, and I look forward to having a discussion with you too.
