Finding The Right Business For You

Do you want to start a business, but don't know what that business is?? Maybe you've looked on the internet, there are so many options and can not see a path to evaluating them all, so you never find the right business.?

My name is Tracy Rickman.? I'm a franchise consultant with FranNet and I help people find the business that fits.? Fits who they are, their skill sets, as well as their business & personal goals.?

We start with an assessment tool that feels a personality profile, but we are looking at your values & motives. ? What drives you,? What has made you successful in the past.? We use the results of that tool to match you with franchise concepts where you are most like top performers.? Next we sit down together to build a business model around what you think the perfect business would look like.? Just as an example, one section we will cover are employees; are they full time, part time, skilled, unskilled, high school students, could you have an employee with a different skills than you, what if you had no employees and just worked with 1099 contractors? ? How many do you have?? What is your management style?

We carry that through to location, image, sales, maturity, hours, and investment.

I talk with you about the things you want to do, not what you can do, like a job interview. ? Together we start narrowing the list.??

Next we take into consideration something very important called “lifestyle”. That is unheard of in the job market.? Many clients are very surprised when we talk about date nights, family rules, off limit times, and what sports the children play, do you want to coach, etc. ? This isn’t to be confused with passion. ? The passion should come from what the business creates for you.

I want to look at not only your personal goals, but your professional goals.? I will put all of that together and narrow down over 4,000 franchises into the ones that are a good fit for you. You are going to be surprised, they're not all fast food and one hour martinizing.? There are concepts in the business to business, business to consumer, services, and things you can run full-time or part-time. Franchising covers over 90 different industries.

From the 2008 recession, to the recent pandemic, many concepts have shown great resilience.? That resilience can actually be validated through the discovery process, when you begin speaking with other franchisees in the system.? The discovery process in franchising is very transparent.

If you have ever thought that you would like to own a business, but do not know where to start, or what that business looks like, maybe we should talk.? Please message me and let’s see if it could be a fit for you to take the next step. By the way, did I mention that my services are free, and there is no obligation?
