When I first left my corporate career at Kraft to start my own business, something interesting happened.
Lots of my colleagues mentioned that they were envious of the path I'd chosen to take... even though they were all free to take that same path.
This reaction got me thinking about a pattern I see everywhere in today's corporate world.
You've probably seen it too. Corporate restructuring happens, and some colleagues get displaced while others keep their jobs.
The displaced colleagues?
Many of them start exploring new opportunities, including business ownership. Sometimes these ventures are even sponsored by corporate buyouts or severance packages.
Meanwhile, those who kept their jobs have mixed feelings. Sure, they're grateful to still have their positions. But many find themselves wishing they had the freedom to start something new.
They feel FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out on opportunities that give them better control of their life, their time, and their finances They realize that they're missing out on the ability to build their personal assets.
Here's what strikes me most: the people expressing envy often have the exact same opportunities available to them.
The difference isn't in what's possible.
It's in what action they choose to take.
Your displaced colleagues are taking control of their future – even if this opportunity has been thrust upon them. They're building something they own rather than hoping someone else will secure their future for them.
And honestly?
They're discovering that business ownership, especially through franchising, offers something corporate jobs simply can't: true control over their destiny.
Right now, you have something many people don't: stability and choice.
You can explore business ownership while you still have:
This is actually the ideal time to consider franchise ownership when you're choosing your path rather than having it chosen for you.
Being a business owner is a dream that many only pursue when circumstances force them to. But you don't have to wait for that moment.
If you're feeling that same curiosity my former Kraft colleagues expressed, you have an opportunity right now.
You can take control of your future while you still have the security of your current position.

P.S. The most successful franchise owners I work with didn't wait for a corporate restructuring to pursue their dreams. They recognized an opportunity and acted on it. Don't let curiosity remain just curiosity—let it guide you toward the financial freedom you deserve.
