What to do if you have "The Entrepreneur's BUG"

 What to do if you have "The Entrepreneur's BUG!"

If you've ever wondered what it would take to be in business for yourself, but were pretty sure that being in business for yourself was a foolish thing to do- I'm here to affirm that caution- to a point. I've started this blog to share insights with you, the curious, possibly eventual, Franchisee. yeah, that's you.
Start-ups are for the hard-core entrepreneur and are not for the faint of heart. Why? Because start-ups are designed to be either sold, absorbed, redesigned or flat-out fail, as a stepping stone to bigger and better things.
But you probably still have that entrepreneurial bug in you saying: "I could do a better job than my boss. Let's face it-most bosses are promoted beyond their capabilities and are socially, and emotionally- stunted. If only I were calling the shots... I hate the way people are treated here. I'm better than this."
yeah, you probably are correct on all fronts (unless you're a delusional narcissist, then this article is not for you..just sayin'..)
The problem is you don't know where to start looking for that magic change. Another job? Another industry? If you think a different job is the answer, then start re-writing your resumes- and I mean resumes- because you need an individual resume for every job you apply for. It's ludicrous.

If you really want to learn if you are right for business ownership and either:

1.  Get the idea  of business ownership completely out of your head once-and-for-all!
2.  Find the right path for you to take in business ownership and start forging out your destiny

Then you need someone to bounce ideas off of. You need to talk to an expert who has your best interests in mind.
A Career coach? no. too expensive and too touchy feely. (believe me, I know) You don't need a therapist, you need concrete real information; "is business ownership for me- just gimme the facts, already"
I hear you and I'm here for you.
We'll talk about your goals and financial and lifestyle needs. We'll talk about how a franchise works, why it addresses so many goals of so many owners, why it has the flexibility you are looking for.
Is it the golden ticket? probably not....but maybe.

• If you aren't afraid of learning something new. 
• If you aren't afraid of a tad bit of risk ( but let's face it..what's riskier than trusting your boss and your corporate contract?) 
• If you aren't afraid of working hard ( some people are- and they aren't right for franchising) 

Then you really ought to talk to me.

As a Christian writer I've discovered that along with spiritual needs, people need to have their human needs met, and, in fact, those physical, and raisen d'etre needs absolutely need to be met first!  They need to know that they make a difference to their families, to their communities, they need to be able to pay their bills, and they'd like to help others pay their bills as well. They also need to know that in what they are doing, they are not alone- and franchising often fits the bill for them. Franchising works for these kinds of people. Of course not all franchisors are Christian, that wold be silly to think or expect, but  Franchisors are some of the most moral people I've met. Honestly. They care about their teams, their people, they care about the needy, about communities, about individuals and about American values of freedom, and the rite to thrive and pursue happiness. They are family- people  who understand not only the stresses, but the drive of a semi-entrepreneur (which, studies show, turns out to be 75% of us!)
So, on this blog, I'm offering information- real information and insight- into franchising and how it works.
Download my ebook and learn more about frantrepraneurship. (I made that word up because it makes sense) Learn about the entrepreneur who doesn't' want to go it alone and doesn't want to wear all the hats in his/her business.

Then:

Schedule a chat with me and we'll talk for 20 minutes or so about what you are looking for, what you need, what your goals are. I'll be straight with you. I might even be able to find you some funding so you can start your new career as a franchisee and pay your way through the first few thin months.

More to come.
