I would like to share something personal you might not know about me. Before finding my true passion in franchising, I was working in real estate and started my entrepreneurship with mom-and-pop business ownership investing a small amount with a couple of partners. I quickly realized how much work I was putting into my small investment, building systems and processes with no road map.
Working in real estate got me my start, but working at my mom-and-pop gave me the motivation and allowed me to meet some wonderful people and lay a solid business foundation. But it was when I stepped outside of my comfort zone and invested in a franchise that I discovered the true thrill of entrepreneurship.
Now, franchising is my unwavering passion. Why?
There are numerous benefits to franchising. The first is the tried-and-true franchise processes and systems. These were developed by the franchisor and have proven to be successful. Because you are building on what others have learned before you, franchise systems save you time and money that would otherwise be wasted in an independent small business.
Another advantage of franchising is there are no limits to your opportunities, and you can always have peace of mind knowing you are building equity. In addition, you are creating something that you can pass on to your children.
One of the most important perks of franchising is the reassurance of knowing you aren’t alone on your journey. You have a support network from the start, which reduces stress throughout the journey.
Not only do I appreciate the support of my franchise network, but franchisees are, at their core, local business owners and community members. Therefore, I believe it is critical that we assist those who are new to the area or the franchise.
Last but not least, the most important aspect of franchising for me is the lifetime friendships I've formed with people from all over the country.
There's a lot to love about franchising, but for me, the relationships are what matter most.
