It looks like you’re an entrepreneur at heart! Franchising may not be the best fit.
There are many different types of business owners. Some are the visionaries who love building out their big ideas and others excel at running a proven system. Neither is better than the other, but put the wrong business owner in the wrong business and it’s a recipe for disaster and disappointment.
Franchise businesses are best suited to business owners who are looking for a proven system that’s already been built. Based on your answers, I suspect that YOU are the big-dreaming visionary who’s out to change the world and would be most happy building your own thing. Congratulations! I cannot wait to see what you do!

I started my journey as an entrepreneur as well, building a childcare center from the ground up and selling it for a profit just a few years later. Since then my husband and I have purchased an existing business as well as a franchise, so I’ve experienced business ownership from all sides of the table—and I recognize that goals and needs change at different phases of our lives.
If you know anyone who dreams of business ownership but doesn’t currently have your same visionary goals, would you share my book with them?
My book, Your Franchise Fast Pass, distills down all I’ve learned being a franchise owner myself and guiding clients through the franchise selection process for over a decade. They can get a free copy (it’s normally $14.95 and I just ask that they pay shipping) at FranchiseFastPassBook.com. Thank you!
