You’ve had the idea in the back of your head for quite some time now about starting your own business. Perhaps you’re waiting for the perfect moment, the planets to align – some kind of sign that NOW is that time. Those signs may be right under your nose at this very moment.

1.    You never did find that perfect fit

Through your education and experience with different jobs, you never had a “this is the perfect life for me” feeling of inspiration. You did what you were obligated to do, whether it was to finish college or make a living to pay the bills, but you remain uninspired to this day despite your best efforts.

This kind of sign is one that you need to blaze a trail for yourself. Someone who feels like a square peg in a round hole needs to make a square hole for themselves. Explore franchise opportunities that appeal to what pleases you, and never work another day in your life.

2.    You aspire to help others

You have a desire to serve but on different terms. Whether you are in a senior care franchise, or a franchise job placement consultant helping your clients on their next journey, your franchise can inspire you in your service to others. There are many varieties of service-based franchise opportunities to explore.

With any franchise that you have employees, from winemaking to dogs, your leadership may be the source of your employees’ inspiration and aspirations for their life journey. As a leader, you always have the opportunity to make a difference!

3.    Giant steps don’t scare you

Starting any business qualifies as a giant step in your life and holds significant risk. However, along with great risk comes the great reward for those willing to take that giant step.

Franchise opportunities are a huge step with a calculated risk. While none are absent from risk, franchises provide you with a proven roadmap to success and come with all the preparations to claim your reward. Known brands build trust quickly in your community, and you get to leverage that reputation for the gains of your business.

4.    You’re not afraid of hard work

Just like the risk applies to all kinds of business, a franchisee is ready and willing to put forth a considerable amount of effort to achieve their dreams. With the startup steps and tasks documented and laid out for the franchisee, they enjoy a vast advantage over startups from scratch.

A startup from scratch will undoubtedly experience bumps in the road and lessons learned. With franchise opportunities, many of these bumps and plot twists have already been encountered and mitigated to help the franchisee with a smooth experience getting their business started.

5.     You know you need and appreciate the help

Knowing and asking for help is a big step, but it’s no secret opening a franchise is something new to most franchisees. Ask for and accept help through every step of your franchise journey.
