What if there was more to life than being overworked and underpaid – plowing mindlessly through mundane work just to reach another weekend that will end all too soon? Somewhere between scraps of a shared dream at the water cooler and that business plan you re-visit between shifts lies a tangible entrepreneurial dream – franchising.

What if there is more than one road to success? Somewhere beyond the crumbling cycle of “school, work, retire, wash, rinse, repeat” there must be a way for you to unleash your creative energy while making waves in the marketplace.

What if you could redefine your vision for a legacy? Somewhere outside of traditional succession planning lies a business opportunity that is built for longevity your family can rely on for years to come.

From early retirees looking for a respite from the rat race to Baby Boomers, Millennials and even spouses looking to build a family business, the opportunities franchising presents are boundless. Total U.S. franchise employment grew by 22,000 this month as more owner-operators explore this avenue as a viable means of transitioning into entrepreneurship.

If you’ve been searching for a business vehicle that suits your professional needs, take a moment right now to reflect on where you are and where you’re going. Do you see yourself in any of these first-time franchisee profiles? If so, key statistics suggest that there is more than enough room in the industry for passionate people just like you.
