Starting Your Own Franchise Business: If Not Now- When?
Could business ownership be your next big move?
There are risks with any everything in life. The question is when is the best time to minimize those risks and be adventurous.
The pendulum has swung in the direction of higher risks attributed to working in corporate America over that of owning your own business. What has this been? The 3rd or 4th merger you have gone through? The average job now lasts less than 3 years. Don’t believe me- just stroll through LinkedIn for an hour and look at each person’s resumes.
Even in a great economy as we see today, Corporations are still shedding upper management in order to flatten out their organizations and manage costs. I think the new cost cutting mind set from the 2008 recession has captured the minds of CEOs for years to come.
So, when is the best time to secure your future?
What is it that you need to see in the economy that will convince you that now is the very best time. So now is the time to get into business, build your platform and take advantage of consumer confidence. What should we all have learned from the last recession? Save more money!
So, build your business by building a strong foundation while the economy is good, yet store away for when the next recession comes.
This economic theory dates to biblical times. Remember when Joseph told the people store up in times of harvest so they would be prepared for the times of famine?
So, if not now when?
Start Your Own Business - Now is the Time!
If you don’t believe me look at your retirement account which is made up of stocks in major corporations. If those stocks have gone up it means those companies are doing great. This would be the same for you and your own company.
Don’t want to go it alone and want someone to share some of the risk? Great thinking!
