Staying in a Job Feels Safe... But Is It?

Many people I've worked with over the years, when they're contemplating getting into a franchise business, compare it against other opportunities, not the least of which is staying in their current job or going to find another one. Why is that consistently a competitor for an opportunity like business ownership? Because it's perceived to be safer in the short term.?

If we're looking at a 12-month horizon, a job is almost always going to be a better opportunity than a business. You get paid the moment you step in the door, even if you don't know what you're doing, and they're probably not going to lay you off in a week or a month. But as the years go by, what are the chances that you'll actually keep that job or still enjoy it? Or that it's going to get you to your financial goals or keep you in the town where you want to be.

The Illusion of Long-Term Job Security

Chances are the longer you're in a job, the riskier it becomes. It's an illusion of risk. Because it looks great on the front end, it doesn’t seem all that risky, but it is —just weighted differently.?

However, business ownership is different. All the risk is upfront, but the longer you're in it, the safer it becomes.?

Take Control of Your Future with Franchising

Franchising is designed to lower that initial risk curve even more. I don’t want you stuck in a position where you're constantly moving from one illusion of security to the next, only to end up disappointed by what could have been if you had taken a chance.?
