Life on my terms with franchising
“You’re not being paid to think; just do it!” my boss barked at me.
“Is this supposed to be motivating?” I thought…
I’ve never been afraid of hard work…
Both my grandfathers were WWII guys, and I got my work ethic from them.
I got my first job as a bricklayer when I was just 15…
But I also believe in living life on MY terms.
Right after that moment, when my boss yelled at me, a twist of fate brought me into freedom: through franchising.
My wife needed to find a caregiver for her grandmother.
I noticed the ones I liked best just so happened to be franchises.
I started researching buying a Senior Care Business.
It seemed easy enough, even though I had zero experience with franchising.
I got a chance to talk to a number of other franchisees before I bought it. They showed me how they got the startup capital, what daily life is like for them, and how long it took to break even and profit.
They told me I could call them up any time I had a problem and that we help each other out in this business.
I also got so much support from the franchise itself.
They give a very thorough training and I walked away with everything I needed to get into profit.
And just 3 short years later, I had a 7-figure franchise and was signing the papers to sell it…
Once I saw what was possible, I realized the sky is truly the limit with franchise investing.
I bought into a medical alarm business in 2003 that was later bought by Philips Lifeline…
I discovered the growing demographics in the pet care industry, and started a dog waste removal business that became profitable quickly.
I’ve been buying, growing, and selling franchises for a while now.
I have the freedom to step onto my son’s baseball field to coach at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, when a lot of the other dads show up off the train in the middle of the 9th inning…
Life on my terms felt so good.
But as I walked from my home to my office each morning watching other people get on the Chicago train for their long commute while I wandered into Starbucks…
I found myself wondering…
“What if I could help others get this level of freedom in their lives too?”
Pete and I teamed up and we’ve helped 1000s of successful people find the perfect franchise concept for them.
So they can invest in an ASSET to grow, scale, and sell (if they want to).
Is that something you’re interested in?
If it is, Pete and I would love to connect with you for a few minutes and find out why you’re interested in franchising, and if we can help you find the right franchise concept for you.
There are over 3,800 and growing, so it’s A LOT of information to sort for yourself…

If it’s a great fit, we’ll discuss possible next steps.
If it’s not, we’ll let you know.
There is no fee for this call. In fact there is no fee for our services unless we match you with a franchise concept you love, and you decide to buy it.
We have pretty limited time since we’re out there buying, growing, and selling franchises without ever missing a date night…
But if you’re serious we’d love to help.

5 年Freedom is great - however often the reason for the 9th inning arrival is having the wrong priorities not inability to make choice.?

5 年Great read Nat. When you get a taste of the freedom you never want to go back. A mindset that once was an inefficient one, worrying about being seen at your desk by the boss inside 8 am to 5 pm and often not being productive, becomes a mindset of that is super efficient and one that is “whatever it takes to deliver and make it happen”. And, that is sometimes working at 2 am when no one can even see you. But it affords you that game to see on your terms. Keep encouraging.
