Not everybody is right for small business ownership. Not everybody is right for the franchise type of business ownership. That, is actually a good thing....
Just like everyone is not cut out to be a US Air Force jet pilot, flying around at 1,000+ mph, so it is with small business ownership. Being a small business owner requires certain personality traits on it's own. The business model of franchising brings with it a totally different set up issues. Not only must you be somewhat of a risk taker, but you must have absolute faith in the system you are investing in. Along with that faith, and a great deal of proper due diligence and fact gathering, there is one other thing that tends to be overlooked. What is often overlooked is what I call, "a franchise personality". What I mean by "franchise personality", is that the person or person's that are purchasing the franchise having the type of personality that is OK with rules. Remember that this franchise concept is someone else's "baby." It was not your idea, and it certainly was not your money that went in to create the concept...from it's systems, to it's marketing and advertising, to it's computer networks, and software. For a franchise system to really work, the system itself must remain tight.
Before you invest the time needed to properly research opportunities in the world of franchise ownership, do you feel that it would make sense to see if you are the right fit for the business model of franchising?
