It may surprise you to learn who makes a good franchisee. The answer is most probably YOU. The only difference between people who become franchise business owners and those who don’t are two things:
The desire to BE YOUR OWN BOSS and CONTROL YOUR DESTINY
The willingness to LEARN AND FOLLOW A PROVEN BUSINESS MODEL.
That’s it - really!
Your neighbor who owns a Mathnasium or the couple at church who own a Subway, what do they know that you don’t? I surmise - nothing.
What about level of education? I’ve placed HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES and MBAs from top universities into great franchises.
The point is this: there is A FRANCHISE FOR YOU whether
You are BLUE COLLAR or WHITE COLLAR, or
You like to work with your hands or use your leadership and executive skills.
The emphasis is more on YOUR TRANSFERABLE SKILLS. My professional advice is to focus on YOUR SUPERPOWER and MATCH A FRANCHISE TO THAT. Watch this short video for clarity.
