Top 1% of Employees Who Turn into Thriving Business Owners Share This One Trait

Keith LiscioMay 16, 2025

The moment before you jump from a plane is pure tension.

You’re strapped in. You’ve trained. You’re ready.

But as the door opens and the wind rushes in, your instincts scream: “Wait.”

That split-second of hesitation?

It’s the same moment that holds most employees back from becoming entrepreneurs.

Every week, I meet corporate professionals who have done everything right. They've researched franchise options, spoken with mentors, read every blog post, and analyzed the numbers.

But they're still standing at the entrance, waiting to feel 100% ready.

Here's the truth: Most people think courage means fearlessness, charging ahead with complete confidence.

But that's not what I've seen in successful franchise owners I've worked with.

They weren't fearless. They were anxious. Many had serious doubts. Others didn’t believe they had the “entrepreneurial gene.”

What sets them apart?

They moved anyway.

Because crossing from employee to business owner requires that first step onto the bridge. You can see the destination, but you have to trust the path will hold your weight.

The Quiet Decision That Changes Everything

Business ownership doesn't begin with perfect clarity. It begins with a quiet decision to trust yourself, just enough to take the first step.

This is what separates those who dream about financial independence from those who achieve it.

And the beauty of franchising is that you don't have to cross the bridge alone or without support.

Unlike starting a business from scratch, you're stepping into:

- A proven business model with established systems.

- Training programs designed to fill your knowledge gaps.

- A network of other owners who have walked this path before you.

- Ongoing support to help navigate challenges.

You don't need to know everything. You just need to know enough to take that first step.

If you've been hovering at the entrance and waiting for the right time, the perfect plan, complete certainty, consider this your sign:

It's time to take that first step.
