In the world of business ownership and franchising, I've noticed a fascinating pattern among corporate professionals considering the leap to entrepreneurship.
Many talented individuals—with impressive resumes, substantial savings, and a genuine interest in franchise opportunities—still hesitate when it comes to making a final decision.
What holds these qualified professionals back isn't a lack of skill, resources, or opportunity.
It's their relationship with uncertainty.
In corporate America, uncertainty is treated like a threat. You're rewarded for minimizing risk, sticking to what's proven, and avoiding failure.
But in entrepreneurship—especially franchising—uncertainty is the playing field. And that's exactly where the best opportunities are hiding.
So if fear is holding you back, here are three low-risk steps my clients use to take action:
You don't have to quit your job tomorrow. Many successful franchise owners begin their journey while still employed.
Consider a semi-absentee model that allows you to maintain your current role while building your business. It’s your safety net.
Franchising is like using a proven roadmap instead of navigating without directions.
By talking to current franchise owners, you can learn exactly what works, what doesn't, and how to overcome common challenges. You're not starting from scratch—you’re building on proven business systems, and learning from the successes and failures of those who came before you.
Unlike independent business owners who face challenges alone, you have an entire system designed to help you overcome obstacles
This powerful exercise involves listing your past failures and what you learned from each one.
You’ll start to see a pattern: Every setback makes you stronger.
Fast forward to five years from now...Will you be wondering “what if”, or opening your third location?
