In an odd twist, franchising and fear can be a winning combination.? People often experience the Fear of failure, the Fear of the unknown, the Fear of heights, the Fear of water, and many other fears. The feeling of fear and anxiety can keep us from experiencing some of the greatest fulfillment in life.
This is typically true when people begin to consider the option of franchise business ownership. In some cases, it could be a lifelong dream to own your own business, to have freedom and flexibility in your work life, and to be in control of your career. However, while chasing that dream, they find themselves overwhelmed with Fear and anxiety. The Fear of Failure and the Fear of the unknown can often overshadow the great opportunity that lies before them.
Fear is a very natural emotion and quite common, especially among franchise business owners. Before deciding to own a franchise opportunity, they too were afraid of making a mistake and making the wrong decision. Franchise business owners have been able to discover new success after overcoming their fear of taking a risk. No one wants to fail, and everyone wants to know what the future holds. We all want to be successful at home and in business. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees, and that uncertainty is what causes anxiety.

1 个月Great article, Scott Diener, MBA, CFC! I think another angle on fear that's interesting is the role of the ego. If we can let go of our ego and humble ourselves to be open to learning something new, fear dissipates! This is extremely helpful when it comes to becoming a franchisee for the first time.
