Have you been working from home for the last several months? Do you think it is decidedly better than going into the city or corporate office, but you still don’t like what you’re doing? Maybe your values don’t align with the company values anymore. If any or all of this is true, and you have been thinking about opening your own business, then 2021 is your year! By Dawn Abbamondi
Have you been working from home for the last several months? Do you think it is decidedly better than going into the city or corporate office, but you still don’t like what you’re doing? Maybe your values don’t align with the company values anymore. If any or all of this is true, and you have been thinking about opening your own business, then 2021 is your year!
Taking charge of your future and deciding to open a business shows you have confidence in yourself and in your ability to lead. Doing it in 2021 shows that you are ahead of the pack, because there will be others who follow you, but they are not ready yet.
You are ready. You have decided to open your own business now because you can’t do what you’re doing any more. Because you have chosen a franchised business model you won’t be alone – even if you are working from a home office.
Franchising comes with a level of safety, security, and support – from the branded materials and marketing promotions, to the consumer insights, financial modeling and connections to suppliers – as well as other like-minded owners. Being part of a community, with brand recognition, familiarity of the products and services you offer, makes people comfortable, confident, and committed to buying from local business owners.
Starting a mobile, or home-based business is a great option. There are many industries to consider, from professional services like marketing or financial consulting to medical or fitness equipment repair – all managed and run from a home office. What’s even better? These come with a lower investment, few to no employees and reduced risk, which are all positive when starting up a business.
Your new franchised business will have all of this from day one. The franchise business model, combined with your leadership, community relationships, and a drive to work harder for yourself, will enable you to achieve your goals sooner.
So, what are you waiting for? You’re working from home anyway! If you like it more than you’d thought you would, stay home and start building your future now.
